3 yearsDropped by a elderly lady nearby. She was really shaken up about a voicemail from this number, meant for someone with a similar surname about some unpaid debt. I told her I'd report it and helped her block the caller. It’s awful. This so-called legit firm is mixing up people just because their names sound alike? Imagine if the debtor’s name was something common like Smith or Jones! Honestly, the fraud squad should definitely investigate these lot.SmithJones3 yearsGot a call from an unknown number but no voicemail left. If this is some debt collection company, they’re definitely not genuine because I’m sure the person they rang up doesn’t owe any money.3 yearsBetter not pick up, could be risky.3 yearsOh, it’s Wescot calling.Wescot3 yearsJust hang up, they’re scammers.3 yearsThese people are just debt collectors.3 yearsGot a call from Westcott debt collectors. Seems like a proper company. They said I owe money and wanted some personal details to verify my account. I told them no way until I get a proper letter. Few days later, I actually got an official letter from them with all their details and the same phone number. So yeah, if you’ve got debt, this number’s real.Westcott4 yearsGot a call from a woman saying she was from Westcot but it was to my holiday home number? She asked for personal details like dob and no phone number given. I told her their number gets flagged for scams a lot. I told her to just send me a letter instead. She said yes, but it all felt kinda rushed and suspicious. Pretty sure this is some kind of scam so watch out. I'll wait and see if I get anything in the post and will update here for everyone. Stay cautious!Westcot6 yearsi keep getting calls from a woman who always wants to speak to someone, this time it was Simon but before it was other names. its a bit confusing coz she changes the name every time she rings.Simon7 yearsI've gotten calls from this number a couple of times, and every time I pick up, they just drop the call right away.8 yearsI've had some rather unpleasant dealings with debt collectors from Wescott Credit. These chaps, representing Lloyds Bank, were just excessively forceful and rather impolite in their approach. Quite off-putting, to say the least!Wescott CreditLloyds Bank10 yearsThese individuals can be quite menacing and aggressive, especially with their threats of doorstep collections, even when a business lacks a county court judgment. It's important to remember that they lack the legal right to enter your premises. If they do come knocking, it’s best not to let them through the door. They truly are a nuisance, but don’t let them get the better of you. However, I strongly recommend seeking advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau - they can provide valuable assistance.Citizens Advice Bureau10 yearsI found it rather concerning that they seemed to recognise my name and asked for my address. I inquired why they were reaching out, but they insisted on keeping their client under wraps unless I provided my address, claiming it was all in the name of "data protection." Quite frankly, that strikes me as utter nonsense. It has the whiff of a collection agency for companies like RBS, Mint, British Gas, and the like.RBSMintBritish Gas10 yearsI just got a call from Wescott Credit Services, and they said they collect debts for a bunch of different firms.Wescott Credit Services11 yearsIt turned out to be Wescott Credit Services.Wescott Credit Services11 yearsI've come across some deeply troubling information regarding a company tied to the tragic case of Beryl Brazier (do a quick search on her name). I urge you not to part with a single penny to this firm, as it could very well enable them to create further heartache. But don't just rely on my perspective-head over to the Consumer Action Group's forums and read the thread dedicated to the debt collection sector. You'll find firsthand accounts of what Wescot is truly like. It's eye-opening, to say the least.Beryl BrazierConsumer Action GroupWescot12 yearsReceived a call from this number, but when I picked up, there was complete silence on the line.12 yearsI can't shake the feeling that this caller was already familiar with our name and promptly asked for our address. The moment we inquired about who they were representing, they dodged the question entirely. When we provided our address, they cited "data protection" as a reason for not revealing their clients, which frankly seems utterly ridiculous. It gives off the impression that they might be gathering information for companies like RBS, Mint, or British Gas, among others.RBSMintBritish Gas12 yearsI received a call from Wescott Credit Services regarding a debt associated with Lloyds TSB.Wescott Credit ServicesLloyds TSBSubmit Your Own Report (01294 475341)
