I just received a call from this number but missed it - no voicemail was left. I’m currently with Eon and have a significant credit balance, so I’d be quite irritated if it turns out to be a call regarding debt collection.

My phone went off with that number calling, but I chose not to pick up.

This number belongs to the contact line for the Rayleigh Essex Ring Centre: 01268 652000. If you happen to receive an extension number such as 52341, simply swap it in place of the main line like so: 01268 652341, and you’ll be connected directly to an agent.

One evening, we received a call from a number that seemed to be using an outbound dialler system. Unfortunately, there were no agents available, and we found ourselves waiting on hold for what felt like ages, never quite knowing who we’d eventually be speaking to. It’s rather concerning that we ended up on hold for over fifteen seconds without any interaction with an agent, as this goes against OFCOM guidelines. I suggest reporting this to OFCOM for further action.

One evening, our phone rang with a call from a call centre, but there was no one on the other end. We found ourselves waiting for ages, utterly clueless about who we might eventually be speaking to. We were left hanging for over fifteen seconds, completely stuck on hold, with no agent ever coming to assist us. This is certainly against the guidelines set by Ofcom. I suggest we report them to Ofcom for this bewildering experience.

Keeps calling me frequently, but the calls are never long enough for me to pick up. They don’t bother leaving a message either. I've even got my phone set to block incoming calls like these! Honestly, it's not even a decent attempt at marketing!

I received a call from these folks regarding a payment that Eon claims is outstanding. Even after providing Eon with proof of payment from our bank and repeatedly ringing them to sort it out, they're still insisting there's an issue. I strongly urge you only to engage with these callers if you know you're genuinely in debt; otherwise, they might just be trying to sell you a payment plan. It’s best to directly liaise with your energy supplier for clarification. Stay savvy!

I received a call from UDS around the 15th of April, and then they rang me again on the 28th. Just out of curiosity, do you happen to work with British Gas as one of your clients?

Utility Debt Services pertains to the debt collection arm of Powergen, and they may also be linked to other utility providers. However, it is our understanding that they function as a fully owned subsidiary of Powergen itself.

I received a call from the number referenced above, accompanied by a message that said, "Apologies, this number is unable to receive incoming calls." There was quite a bit of mechanical noise and some sort of voice distortion as well.

Received a cheeky missed call from these clowns earlier today. Admittedly, we do have a minor outstanding balance with EON from our old residence, but on principle, we won’t be making any effort until they send us a proper letter with their standing order details to our new address, as we requested back in August. It’s only fair, isn’t it?

UDS, or Utility Debt Services, is a collection agency that handles accounts for the big utility providers. Their postal address is UDS, PO Box 2134, 190 London Road, Rayleigh, Essex. It’s advisable to steer clear of returning their calls; their staff tend to be rather rude and intimidating, yet seem entirely incapable of doing anything constructive apart from insisting on payment. If you suspect you owe money, it's wiser to contact your utility provider directly to discuss any potential debts.

I’d echo that sentiment regarding E-on's customer service. It feels like there's this go-to number that they seem to utilise whenever an agent contacts you-I've currently got an inquiry in progress with them as well. For anyone needing to get in touch with E-on, the numbers you should dial are 0800 052 0346 or 01268 652 100.

Received a call from EDF stating that we owed £22. We settled this amount, but then realised we hadn't received any written notifications about the debt. So, we contacted EDF directly, only to be told that no one from their side had attempted to reach us. Suspecting a scam, we promptly contacted our bank and put a stop on the payment.
