Got hit with that exact scam earlier today!

Got a slip that looked like a payslip with just an address in Saltcoats, Scotland and a number to ring. Kinda odd since the call came from Hull, so not sure what’s going on here. No other details given at all.

Wescott debt recovery, they keep ringing but I just block and ignore like all the other annoying calls I get nonstop.

I received a call from an individual named Alex Anderson, who left behind a phone number along with a reference number. He requested that someone return the call.

I received a call from someone saying they were from Barclays, telling me I had an unpaid commercial loan. Thing is, I’ve never had a commercial loan with them at all. When I asked for more info, the caller admitted they didn’t have any details on hand - which made me suspicious straight away, why bother calling if you can’t back it up? They then said they’d pass it back to Barclays for review. I’m planning to visit the bank later today to sort this out. Feels pretty dodgy to me.

Got a message pretending to be a payslip, but it was actually some sort of demand. Said it was from a firm linked to the beryl brazier case, or so they claimed. Bit dodgy if you ask me.

I received a card in the post addressed simply to "THE OCCUPIER." It immediately raised my suspicions due to the complete lack of a name. We've tossed it out, as it seemed like a rather costly errand for someone to send. Very thankful we stumbled upon this site-it's been a real help!

Earlier today, I received a postcard similar to the one mentioned, so I decided to give them a ring. A polite chap answered the phone and clarified that these folks were looking to get in touch with our daughter. He assured me that our address would be removed from their records, and we advised her to reach out to them directly. To be honest, it didn’t strike me as anything dodgy. I thought it was quite a clever approach with the postcard. At the end of the day, when you've racked up debts, it's really up to you to make good on them, isn't it?

Had one of those calls earlier today. It left me scratching my head. I had to squint to decipher the company name as it's so tiny - like, where's my magnifying glass? Ugh! But seriously, who's the intended recipient? Am I the target, or is it meant for the previous owners?

This morning, I had a phone call from this particular number, so I thought it would be a good idea to report it here.

Received a rather odd postcard with a second-class stamp, addressed simply to "the occupier." Flipping it over reveals a request to "please ring Alex on 01482 380689," followed by a reference number: ref:126203090 ALA. It strikes me as a bit dodgy-perhaps a ruse to rack up an exorbitant phone bill or something similarly underhanded. Best to steer clear, I reckon!

I too had a ring from someone called 'ALEX' using this number, who referred to themselves as 2F and inquired about my son’s details. I’m really grateful for this site as it’s made us more vigilant, and we’ll be reporting this to Trading Standards.

We too received a rather peculiar handwritten postcard, urging us to contact a certain Alice Roberts at 01482 380689. Oddly, the address simply stated "The Occupier" rather than our actual name-how bizarre! It turns out this was from Westcot Debt Collectors, and honestly, they're just a bunch of opportunists. We've chosen to entirely disregard their attempts. The postcard did include a return address: PO Box 137, HULL, HU2 8HF. They've also attempted to ring us from 01482 590500, but we've configured our Truecall system to reject those calls outright. What a nuisance!

We received a rather dubious postcard and, after perusing the comments here, promptly decided to tear it up. It was addressed to "The Occupier," which makes it all the more suspicious. If the senders actually knew who they were targeting, they would surely have included a proper name!

This firm, one of the quartet implicated in the tragic demise of Beryl Brazier (you might want to search her name), should not receive a single penny from you. The last thing we need is for them to have a chance to cause even more heartache. Don't merely rely on our words-head over to the Consumer Action Group's debt collection industry forum thread and witness for yourself what kind of practices Wescot is involved in.

Absolutely, I can vouch for that too. We gave them a ring and it turns out these folks have moved on from this residence. Just thought I'd share that in case it's of any assistance!

Received one of those annoying little postcards today; apparently, their offices are up in Scotland. We certainly won’t be ringing them up-don’t want to give them the satisfaction!

Received one of those dodgy phishing letters. They send out postcards addressed to 'The Occupier' - very suspicious! You know, if you actually have a legitimate debt, your creditor would certainly address their correspondence directly to you. Wescot is known for scooping up bad debts and profiting off repayments. The clever thing is, if you choose to ignore these folks, they really have no leverage over you.

Indeed, it seems this is from Westcot Debt Collectors. I picked up a repossessed property not long ago, and now I keep getting these rather suspicious handwritten postcards urging me to contact a chap named Chris. Quite the underhanded approach, if you ask me.

I've received a rather dodgy card that I've got to fork out for just to send something across the UK. It hilariously addressed it to "the occupier". It’s going straight in the bin, that’s for sure!

A right bunch of pesky little nuisances, those Wescot debt collectors. Honestly, avoid their calls like the plague! Don’t pick up, don’t engage, and whatever you do, don’t give them the time of day. Just steer clear of these chaps!

Absolutely! We received one of those postcard things as well. At first glance, it appears handwritten, but if you take a closer look, you'll see it's all printed. It’s addressed to "the occupier" with a note saying, "Kindly ring Claire" at 01482 380689, reference number ---------. Honestly, don't bother wasting your cash on that call; it's just another dodgy scam. If by any chance you do end up dialling them, make sure you don’t divulge any personal information. Honestly, it’s only fit for the bin!

Hello there! We received a correspondence suggesting we should get in touch with Andy at 01482 380689, referencing 345156020. Thankfully, we were able to spot a dodgy card right away, particularly one linked to Wescot Credit Services. I'm now pondering whether to approach Trading Standards or perhaps seek guidance elsewhere. We're situated close to the Scottish border, so any advice would be appreciated!
