Hello, I’m Paul Stringer. I’m reaching out to discuss the possibility of establishing a payment arrangement for an outstanding balance of £93.43. I should mention that I am dealing with depression, which has made this situation quite challenging. I've made several attempts to communicate with Italk regarding reference 348438 to clarify that my broadband service has not been provided. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on whether setting up a payment plan is an option. You can reach me at 07519270064. Thank you for your assistance. Best wishes, Paul Stringer.

These lot are from italk, and honestly, they just won’t leave you alone. I quit italk because they kept charging my bank card whenever they felt like it, and piling on random fees whenever they fancied. I originally joined because of some cashback deal, but they did everything possible to avoid paying up. After I cancelled, they hit me with a final bill of just 81p - yeah, you read that right, 81 pennies. Yet they keep bombarding me with calls, up to five times a day, all over that tiny amount and some bogus fees. Trust me, don’t ever bother with italk.

HOWARD GEMINI CLARKE, a debt collector representing "Italk." I’ve honestly lost track of how many times I’ve informed them that they won’t be seeing a penny from me since Italk violated our agreement. My download speed plummeted to a mere 4 MBPS or even less for three weeks, and then I lost all service - both internet and phone! Whatever you do, don’t share your name with any debt collection agency; after six years of them not complying or admitting any responsibility for the disputed debt, it becomes statute-barred. Just block the number!

A 'DEBT' can be deemed 'STATUTE BARRED' if there has been no acknowledgment or payment towards it for a period of 6 years (this does not apply to Scotland). If you haven’t admitted to the purported debt or established any sort of link to it, after that 6-year mark, the creditors are unable to take legal action against you. It’s crucial to be aware of the nuances, so do ensure you investigate further! Here’s a helpful link for more info: https://www.stepchange.org/debt-info/can-i-write-off-debt/statute-barred-debt.aspx. My explanation might not cover everything, so I highly recommend looking into it yourself!

Yesterday (12/10/22), I got a call from someone saying they were from Italk. I never really dealt with Italk before because they kept charging different amounts every week. Then, I ended up getting a call from a guy called Howard Gemini Clarke. It turns out they’re all part of the same group or whatever.

INSANE scammers alert - got six calls from 'debt collectors' or whatever Howard Gemini Clarke is supposed to be, all yesterday! Managed to send them straight to junk while I was chilling in the garden, having a few drinks. Absolutely mad.

Six times on Easter Friday this number 01273 762 679 kept calling me! Was so annoying I just sent 'em straight to the junk folder. Honestly, couldn't believe how persistent they were on a holiday like that - really not on!

I received a call from someone named Howard using this number, and he wanted to chat about the money I owe. Apparently, his debt management team had some sort of programme to help lower my debts. I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was just fishing for my personal details, so I told him where to shove it. I’ve since blocked the number.

They've been ringing me twice every single day for almost four months. Honestly, I'm thinking of going over there soon to put a stop to it.

For the entire Christmas period, this number 01273 762 679 kept popping up on my junk calls list - so annoying! Every time I checked my phone, it was there bugging me. Luckily, my blacklist does a good job of blocking these kinds of persistent calls so I don't get bothered by them anymore.

This 01273 762 679 number kept bugging me, so I added it to my blacklist. Now it can’t ring through to my main phone anymore. Pretty relieved it’s finally stopped!

My spam folder is getting packed full lately.

I was asleep when my robot picked up the call. It didn’t leave any voicemail or anything.

Debt collectors keep blowing up my phone, texting and emailing me non-stop, even tho I've tried to clear up a debt with them. They've done nothing to fix it but keep harassing me anyway. It's so frustrating!

I'm facing the exact same issue; just let them know you’re eager for a day in court. Their incessant harassment is beyond the pale-surely that’s not permissible!

Received a call claiming I have an outstanding debt of £58 with italk. The funny thing is, I haven’t been with them for four years due to their shoddy service! I settled all my dues with them a year back, so I don't owe them a penny. It’s all very peculiar, to say the least!

So this number apparently is linked to someone called Howard Gemini Clarke. I reckon it's debt collectors or something similar. I don’t owe anything tho. They left a voicemail asking me to call them back, but I’ve ignored it.

Not sure, I just didn't answer, felt a bit dodgy you know?

I must express my utter frustration with these relentless callers pursuing me for a debt that simply doesn't exist. For the past five years, it’s been italk claiming I owe them £105, which they've now conveniently revised to £64. The twist? They can't even furnish me with an invoice to substantiate their claim, and to be honest, I’ve never knowingly engaged with italk at all-if I had, wouldn't it make sense for them to send a bill? These incessant calls have dragged on for half a decade, all over a measly £64. I've suggested they should take legal action, but they don't even possess my address! It’s becoming unbearable, and I can't help but notice that many others are caught in the same situation, echoing my sentiments. I kindly plead for these calls to cease. I've maintained a spotless record for the entirety of my 51 years, so this whole scenario is utterly alarming.

I've been receiving numerous texts and calls from H G Clarke, and it's evident they're after the wrong person. Despite my attempts to reach them and clarify that the debt in question has nothing to do with me, they continually apologise yet harass me again within a few days. The debt apparently involves iTalk, a business I've never dealt with in any capacity.

Got a call from this number saying they were from Italk, but they didn’t have any of my info. Pretty sure it’s a scam.

H.G. Clarke called me from 01273762679.

I really couldn’t make heads or tails of what the lady was saying in the voicemail - it was all a bit jumbled, to be honest. However, I did catch a bloke's voice in the background advising her to rethink that call. This piqued my curiosity, so I looked up the number and stumbled upon some other messages. Strangely enough, I’ve never come across this company before. Quite odd, isn’t it?

They keep ringing me and even left a voicemail about solicitors.

Got a call on my work mobile from someone asking for an individual I’ve never come across before. Seems like it’s the same story as others reporting a 'Howard Gemini Clark'. Quite baffling, really!

I had a lodger once who set up this broadband for us ages ago, and since then I’ve lost touch with them and have no clue where they’ve ended up. The account was in my middle names, just so you know. We had it for roughly a fortnight and it worked fine initially, but then the line issues began and it became a right nuisance. I tried ringing iTalk numerous times, and they kept promising an engineer would come out, but days went by and no one showed up. When I finally contacted them to inform them I was switching to EE broadband, they rudely ended the call. After moving to EE, I kept getting letters and bills that kept increasing, and out of nowhere, the amount shot up from around £60 to more than £300! Honestly, this company feels like a total scam, and the staff on the other end of the line seem bewildered. Steer clear of this company if you value your sanity!

This number's called me four times now, always asking for some Margarita Green. Bit suspicious, isn’t it? Feels like it could be a scam or something dodgy.

After just a week of being tied down to their contract, I attempted to sever the tie, yet they flatly refused my request. I've reached out to them countless times since, and now I'm faced with a hefty bill of over 200 pounds. There’s absolutely no way I’m handing over that money. I had every right to terminate the agreement within 14 days, and I made my intentions clear within the first week. It’s utterly infuriating!

Have you managed to sort this out? They’re demanding payment for a router that I’ve already returned. Honestly, this company keeps ringing me incessantly! 🤦‍♀️

I received a call from someone named Howard Gemini Clarke regarding a supposed debt that I supposedly owe to Italk. However, I had to cancel my contract with them fairly quickly-as soon as two months in-because they simply couldn't deliver on their promise of broadband, despite having taken direct debit payments from me. They assured me that an engineer would come out to sort things, but that never happened. After I ended the agreement, they even had the audacity to threaten legal action against me!

This number has been buzzing me non-stop. When I finally answered the first call, nobody said a word. The second time they rang, I ignored it because I generally don’t pick up if the number’s unfamiliar. Then, oddly, they called again just a couple of minutes later.

I find myself in a similar predicament where I’m being pursued for a payment that baffles me completely. It seems that a simple account with Italk has ballooned from £67 to an astonishing £300! Quite frankly, I refuse to part with a single penny for what was an atrocious service. Every time I reached out to voice my concerns, the representatives were shockingly unhelpful and quite rude, which only solidified my choice to sever ties with them. Now, they’re incessantly ringing me up and bombarding me with menacing letters threatening court action. What on earth should I do in this distressing situation?

I'll be disregarding any calls from this number and if it comes to it, I'll see them in court where I plan to seek compensation for all the inconvenience caused. It's abundantly clear to me that Howard Gemini Clarke is nothing short of a scam operation. I’ve never encountered this company or iTalk before, and quite frankly, I have no intention of engaging with them.

Absolutely dodgy characters. I’ve never had any dealings with ITalk, yet they stubbornly refuse to remove my number from their list of debtors. It seems this sort of conduct is quite the hallmark of ITalk, unfortunately.

I’ve been left utterly bewildered by this lot! They’re demanding payment for a service that was never delivered. Italk is just a chaotic farce of a company that offers no assistance whatsoever. Now, they're trying to squeeze me for a hundred quid for an engineer I didn’t even book! And if that’s not enough, they have the audacity to ask for £500, threatening legal action if I don’t cough up. Bring on the court - I’m ready for them! 👍🏻

I've gone ahead and reported this number to the authorities since I've been inundated with calls from it. It’s certainly no business of mine.

These individuals claim they're unable to take my name out of their database. Quite frankly, my name has no place in their records at all.

No point in trying to reply, they just hang up on me every time! Got quite a few calls from them today but they never actually talk or say anything.

This number rang me again but just cut off before I could say anything. Definitely dont pick up, it's a scam. If your phone has the option, block the caller straight away.

I had the misfortune of dealing with the debt recovery team at Italk, and I must say, the experience was dreadful. They refused to let me terminate my contract after attempting to slap me with unexpected “engineer fees.” Honestly, the engineer merely glanced at my router and line for a couple of minutes; charging me £50 for that is absolutely ludicrous, especially when I had already done most of the troubleshooting myself, bar the line examination. What’s more frustrating is the utter lack of prior notice about these charges. I even had to take two days off work because the engineer didn’t show up. Add to that the bank charges I incurred from going overdrawn, and the entire ordeal left me in a worse position than if they had just taken my £25 for the month’s broadband service, which I barely used, and let me cancel my contract without a fuss. I haven’t sent them a single penny since and have no intention of doing so, no matter who they send my way or what threats they make. They can have their £25 for the month since that’s more than what I actually benefited from, but as for those engineer fees or other additional costs like bailiffs? They can forget it. I’d rather endure anything than pay out more than I've received. If these people call you, my advice is to block them as I have. You can either make the payment and give in, or you stand your ground; the choice is yours.

The call I received was from Howard Gemini Clarke, based in Hove, representing a debt collection agency.

I've been contacted by Italk, claiming I owe them some money. The thing is, I've never used their services at all, which makes it quite clear this is a scam.
