Reports on phone number 01482380680
6 monthsThey keep ringing me and leaving messages asking me to ring back. It’s been going on for a few days and honestly, feels like a total scam. I just don’t pick up because it’s getting a bit much - feels like they’re just pestering me!7 monthsThey had my address but used the wrong name. Asked me to ring a number and give a reference - felt dodgy, probably a scam.1 yearThese Westco folks are a total joke, seriously no juice behind them at all, best just to give them the cold shoulder.West Coast1 yearI got a robocall where some automated message asked me if I was Tracey Lopez Morino and wanted a yes or no. Seems like a phishing scam cause I've had a few calls just like this, all using the same voice but different phone numbers each time. I ended up blocking those numbers and just did the same with this latest one.Tracey Lopez Morino2 yearsGot calls from some debt collection place, proper harassment and just plain bullying them with their constant ringing.2 yearsTotal rip-off.2 yearsTotal scam, dont pick up the phone and just ignore those pesky blue envelopes. Best thing is to block all the numbers.2 yearsTotal scam, be careful!2 yearsI got a sealed letter claiming to be from Westcot Credit Services/2F, telling me to ring this number. Feels like a total scam to me.Westcot Credit Services2F2 yearsGot calls from a new number but it’s the same lot asking for Leon Gordon. I reached out to Marston Holdings through their site and reported plus blocked the number, but they just switch to another one. Definitely a scam. I’m well fed up with it now.Leon GordonMarston Holdings2 yearsGot a dodgy call from a scammer here in Glasgow, UK.GlasgowUK2 yearsGot a call today from this Hull number, saying they were doing a survey for Devon and Cornwall Police?? Seems a bit suspicious to me.HullDevon and Cornwall Police3 yearsI received a dodgy phone call from someone claiming to be from the police, saying it was regarding an incident from October. To be honest, I didn’t have anything to share since I’m nowhere near Hull. I told him I was a bit busy and asked if he could ring back later, but really, I just said I had no remarks to make and ended the call.Hull3 yearsGot a scam call, have blocked the number now.3 yearsGot a call from this number, didn’t answer and checked it here on this handy site. Decided to block it after reading the reviews. I usually silence all unknown callers and send them straight to voicemail. Since doing that, I've noticed way less annoying calls and most of the dodgy ones don’t get through at all.3 yearsThis was a scam, they claimed to be from Durham police but the call came from a Hull area code???DurhamHull3 yearsIt says it’s a Hull number but it’s definitely NOT from Hull! It’s some dodgy call centre overseas trying to con you out of money. I told them I worked for the UK police and asked who she was and what her job was. She ended the call straight away!HullUK3 yearsGot calls nonstop at all hours. It’s some robotic voice asking if I’m Samantha Taylor. You gotta press random keys to say yes or no. So annoying!Samantha Taylor3 yearsReceived a letter in the mail telling me to ring this number.3 yearsNah, not at all.3 yearsThey’re not just ringing with scams anymore, they’ve started sending letters too, all sealed up and marked Private and Confidential. So be careful if you get anything in the post from PO Box 189 Huddersfield HD8 1DY.Huddersfield3 yearsErm, it’s defo not a scam. There’s a record showing money’s owed. Either pay what you owe to the right person, or declare bankruptcy. If you reckon you don’t owe anything, then there’s a serious issue. It might be identity theft or maybe the address or phone number was used by someone else before you and they racked up the bills. You really need to deal with this or your credit score will be trashed.3 yearsJust got hit with one of those dodgy debt scams. Be careful out there!4 yearsI got a letter telling me to ring them, but it was sent to my old name. Wescot/2F seems like some debt collection firm. I don’t owe anything, they said they just wanted to update info for Barclaycard. They already knew my new name and address though. Whether it was right or not, I gave them my birthdate but nothing else about money. Since then, I’ve emailed them with small questions just to see how they respond.Wescot2FBarclaycard4 yearsKept bothering me and wouldn’t take no for an answer.4 yearsNo idea who was callin but it just won't stop.4 yearsGot a letter that looked proper official telling me to ring the number. Pretty quick I figured out it was a scam!4 yearsThey’ve been ringing since yesterday, so I blocked the number. Got a voicemail this morning while my phone was charging. I’m certain I don’t owe anything, so it’s gotta be a scam.4 yearsI normally don’t pick up if I don’t know the number but answered this time. Pretty sure it was a scam, never heard of them before.4 yearsThis number isnt a scam, its actually a debt collection firm. Wescot Credit Services is a legit credit company and 2F is just one of their trading names. I was getting letters about debts for my ex addressed to me, so I opened one up and called them to give details of her new place.Wescot Credit Services4 yearsThis number isnt trying to scam you. Its a debt collection agency. Wescot Credit Services deal with debts and 2F is just another name they trade under. I was getting some debt letters for someone who used to live with me, so i finally opened one and called them to give them her updated address.Wescot Credit Services4 yearsThey sent a letter that looked just like the others, but if you look carefully the name says WESCOT not WESTCOT. I spoke to Westcot and the reference number they had wasn’t theirs at all, the phone number didn’t match, and they didn’t have any record of me. The name on the letter was actually an old surname I stopped using years ago.Westcot4 yearsDidn’t pick up both times within a day.5 yearsI've been getting loads of calls from this number every day, on both my landline and mobile. I blocked it on my mobile but apparently have to pay my phone company to block it on my landline. When I pick up, there's no one there, and if I let it go to voicemail, it asks me to press 1 or 2, which I never do. It's really annoying and a bit worrying since I have no idea who's behind the calls.5 yearsWon’t stop ringing, I’m not picking up Essex area.Essex5 yearsThey posted me a letter with a quote included.5 yearsCompletely baffled !!!!!!!!5 yearsThis number has been ringing me at work for ages. When I pick up, there’s a recorded female voice saying "This is an important message for Raymond Mattagar." It then tells you to press 1 if you are him, or 2 if you’re not. We’ve got no one here by that name. I’ve been just hanging up for weeks, but today I pressed 2 to see if it would end the calls. The recorded reply was just "Thank you, please have Raymond Mattagar ring us back." Honestly, I’m so annoyed!Raymond Mattagar5 yearsRang my landline today but all I got was silence. Ended up hanging up and blocked the number!5 yearsGot a letter just like others mentioned, with perforated edges to tear off. I got in touch with Westcot, asking them to explain properly what it's about. They emailed back asking for loads of personal info. I just sent them a screenshot of the letter without sharing my date of birth or any other personal stuff they wanted.Westcot5 yearsThey didn’t leave a message.5 yearsThese lot have phoned me before, so I’ve blocked their number. Today I got a letter that looked really official, like those tear-off kind, saying to call this number and ask for someone named ‘Angie.’ Turns out it’s F2, which is just another name for Wescot Credit Services. They try to make it sound all formal and serious, but it’s just a scare tactic to get people to ring them. Don’t fall for it, it’s all about squeezing you for money. I don’t owe them a penny. They’re just after your info, it’s nasty. Best to ignore, block and report ‘em!Wescot Credit Services5 yearsGot this recorded message calling me every single day saying it's f2!!! Never heard of them before so I just blocked their number on my home phone.5 yearsGot a voicemail from this number a moment ago, they mentioned my name and told me to call “2F”, gave me a phone number and a long reference code to use when I phoned them back. Never heard of this company before, so I looked it up online. Turns out “2F” supposedly went into liquidation back in 2017, and loads of people are saying it’s some kinda debt scam. Watch out folks!Google2F5 yearsThey ring me minimum two times every single day.5 yearsGot a message saying 2F wants me to ring this number 01482380680. I did a quick credit check myself and surprisingly, I’m clear of any debts or loans. No letters or anything from companies about money I owe. So before freaking out, my advice is DON'T RING THEM, that’s how they figure out you’re an actual person. If you do call, make sure to hide your number and address. I’d hold off until someone actually shows up at your door or it’s from one of your old loans or cards.5 yearsF2? They asked for me by name? Nah, blocked straight away.5 yearsEvery day the phone just keeps ringing and we cant even pick up in time.6 yearsThat 01482 380680 number somehow sneaks past my spam filter, which it really ought not to. They’re annoying and so pushy!6 yearsSo this firm named Wescot keeps ringing, they're a debt collection agency chasing debts for places like PayPal credit. Even after my lawyers got in touch explaining my situation - I got paralysed last year and am still trying to cope, knowing I’ll never walk and in constant pain - they just don’t care. Guess they’re only after their money, no matter what. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.Wescot6 yearsDefinitely some sort of scam or dodgy lot ringing about debts or loans. When you answer, just don’t say a word and leave the phone down for about 10 minutes. I’ve tried this 5 or 6 times in the past week and they never call again, guessing they realise you’re not gonna react.6 yearsPicked up and told em to call this number back. Then some bloke asked for a reference? I just told him to piss off.. 😂6 yearsI've been receiving calls from Hull that keep coming through but they never bother to leave a message. Interestingly, I got another one from a similar area with the same lack of voicemail. Quite baffling, really, as I don't have any acquaintances in Hull whatsoever.Hull6 yearsGot a robocall pretending to be from a legit company, told me to press a button to talk to someone. The person on the other end was trying to get cash for a debt I don’t owe. I just ended the call straight away. Totally a con.6 yearsGot a recorded voice saying they were 2F. Asked me to press 1 if I was (name), or press 2 if not. Just ended the call straight away!2F6 yearsI got a letter meant for someone who hasn't lived here in over a decade. They wouldn't tell me what it was regarding.6 yearsReally irritating calls - they say stuff like "this is an important call. If you are 'any name'..." and I just hang up straight away. They’ve got the wrong person and it's nothing to do with me. I never click on links from my phone because I reckon it just lets them know the number’s active. Honestly, this sort of pestering should be illegal and these firms ought to be fined for it!7 yearsIts westcott, theyre debt collectors.Westcott7 yearsLike some others, my daughter got a letter too.7 yearsIt was defo a scam! They called me earlier but when I picked up, it was dead quiet on the other end. Tried looking up the number but couldn’t find anything about it anywhere?7 yearsGot a letter today with those 'tear-off bits' again, but the address was definitely wrong - looked like one from some mailing list, not mine. Only had a reference number and nothing else, just asking for a 'Charlotte'. I’m not planning to reply, feels really dodgy to me.Charlotte7 yearsGot calls from 01482380680 then 01482590500, total scam trying to pull a fast one on me. I informed the police straight away about their scammy tactics. Impersonating people is illegal and if no one speaks up, these cheats just keep going. Best to report them to the authorities.7 yearsSimilar to someone else’s experience, I got a letter that looked official (with those tear-off bits) telling me to ring this number, saying it was from 2F (Wescot Credit), but all it gave was a reference number with no explanation. I also had a missed call before from another number (01482 590500), which I noticed others have mentioned here as well. Since I don’t owe anything, I was a bit suspicious and decided not to call back.7 yearsThey claimed to be from the bank and began asking loads of personal info. Their excuse was that someone had hacked into my account and nicked 600 quid.7 yearsGot a call from this number today but they didn’t leave any message, so I guess it wasn’t anything urgent. I don’t know who they are, so it’s probably just one of those annoying sales calls or maybe a scam. I’ve blocked the number now.7 yearsGot a call from 01482380680 claiming to be Barclays bank, but ive shut my account years back and i dont owe anyone anything.Barclays Bank7 yearsExactly what everyone else said here. I always have no clue who's calling.7 yearsIf you happen to be up to no good, one might wonder why you wouldn’t anticipate receiving multiple calls each day. On the flip side, if you’re absolutely innocent and have made your stance clear to the caller, any attempts to contact you-whether it’s daily, weekly, or even monthly-could easily be deemed harassment. And let’s be clear, harassment is a criminal offence in its own right.7 yearsGot an automated reply, so I just blocked the number.7 yearsReceived what appeared to be a payslip in the post today, complete with a reference asking me to ring and chat with an individual named Alex. However, I'm rather hesitant to make that call as it all seems rather dubious.Alex7 yearsThis number has been calling me no less than a couple of times each day for several weeks now.7 yearsThey claimed to be collecting money for a customer but wouldn’t say any more about it. Asked for personal info - I wouldn’t share anything, felt pretty dodgy and unclear.7 yearsThe call went straight to my voicemail but they just hung up without leaving anything!7 yearsCalled loads from Hull on 29th May, keeps ringing even tho I blocked it on my home phone. Seen it flagged as ‘risky’ somewhere else.Hull7 yearsFinally picked up after dodging the call for days, but there was absolutely no one there.7 yearsThis particular number has been pestering us with calls a minimum of twice daily. Every time, it’s some sort of automated message inquiring if we happen to be Gemma Watson, urging us to get in touch. At that stage, we simply hang up. Unfortunately, the incessant ringing doesn’t seem to let up.Gemma Watson7 yearsWescott, yeah? Never heard of them before, so I’m just ignoring their calls and texts. Not bothering to get back.Wescott7 yearsA bit different from the usual scam calls - I got this official looking envelope, like the ones banks send with pins. It even had those tear-off bits and a plain blue back. The twist was they wanted me to call them on the number provided. The fine print said '2f is a trading name of wescot credit services'. Oddly, the Saltcoats office listed had a phone number that was actually from the Hull region (didn't bother ringing, though).Wescot Credit ServicesSaltcoatsHull7 yearsGot a call from some Indian call centre pretending to be BT, saying my internet was hacked, total nonsense. They kept pressing me for my account info, so I mess around with them for a bit then ended it with a loud whistle right into the phone. Bet that cleared their ear or two!BT8 yearsSays it's an automated 2f message. Tried calling them back but couldn't get through. No clue what they want so I'm not bothering to ring them again.8 yearsGets calls every day, some robot voice leaves a number and says to ring them back, fingers crossed they give up soon.8 yearsWestcot appears to be contacting me from a different number now.Westcot8 yearsFor the past three weeks or so, ive been getting these automated calls on my landline every single day from this number. the message never changes, they mention some reference number, ask if theyve got the right contact for someone ive never heard of, and say its about an account with Wescott (which ive never had). honestly, im just waiting for them to give up cause im not picking up.Wescott8 yearsGot a call from this number today, I didn’t pick up but they dropped a voicemail. They used my name and said they were with 2f, asking me to ring back with a reference number.9 yearsloads of scam calls lately, really annoying!9 yearsi wouldnt trust that number one bit honestly9 yearsSomeone said they were from BT and that my router had been compromised. I played along for a bit but lost interest when they couldn’t say exactly who they were or where they were calling from. Clearly an Indian call centre and a total scam.BT9 yearsthis has gotta be a scam, some firm called 2f or summat. Pretty sure we all know what the f really means. wouldnt trust them at all.10 yearsReceived a strange postcard this afternoon and thought it was rather odd. It had the same details as a previous call I made to Emma, including her number and a reference code. After seeing the comments above, everything clicked into place. Many thanks for the clarification!Emma10 yearsEarlier today, we received the exact same piece of mail addressed simply to "the occupier," listing a phone number for Bob-01482380680. It struck me as rather odd, so it ended up in the bin without a second thought. I suspect it was just another advertising leaflet, as is typically the case with such things. Huge appreciation to those who have clarified who this mysterious number belongs to! Cheers!Bob10 yearsI received a call earlier today. If you could, please get in touch with Claire at 01482380680. I did a quick search for PO BOX 137 and this seemed to check out. After we rang them, it turned out they were after someone who hasn't resided here for more than five years. They assured us they'd remove our address from their records.Claire10 yearsI recently received a rather intriguing postcard featuring the number 01482 380680, which seems to be on the hunt for the former occupant of our residence. So, we decided to give 'Westcot' a bell using that number to inform them. They assured us that they would remove our address from their records. The person I spoke to was incredibly polite and helpful - a real pleasure to converse with!Westcot10 yearsWe've received one of those cards as well! It turns out it was from a debt collection agency. However, it wasn't addressed to us, but rather to the former owners of the property.10 yearsWe received a postcard prompting us to contact Danielle.Danielle10 yearsI keep receiving a whole lot of silent calls lately. As a young woman living by myself, it makes me quite anxious.10 yearsReceived a card sent to 'the occupier' that instructed to call Lynsey on the exact number provided, along with a reference number. We attempted to make the call, but there was no answer. It's quite puzzling, as we were curious and felt that this situation was rather strange.Lynsey10 yearsI recently received a postcard addressed to "The Occupier", which had Sally’s name on it. As someone who's elderly and lives by themselves, it’s left me quite unsettled. My daughter reached out to these folks, and they assured her they would remove us from their records.Sally10 yearsThe number 01482 380680 belongs to Wescott Credit Services Ltd., a debt collection agency situated in Hull.

Curious about the number (01482 380680), I decided to investigate, and it turns out it belongs to Wescott Credit Services Ltd in Hull. I wouldn't recommend calling them!
