Just got a call from someone saying they were from Wescot, kept mentioning HF, but wasn’t too clear what it was about. Sounded a bit dodgy to me!

I keep getting calls from these debt collectors, I think they're with Wescot doing the rounds for Lloyd’s TSB bank or something. They ring me up all the time but I just don't pick up, proper nuisance they are.

Got a call from someone claiming to be a debt collection agency. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.

This number seems to be incessantly calling, at all hours, both day and night!

It's been quite overwhelming with numerous calls coming in.

I had a rather peculiar interaction with this outfit recently. They already had my address and wanted me to verify it. Then, they mentioned reaching out to someone who lives near me and inquired if I was acquainted with them. Naturally, I probed how they had obtained my details, but rather than addressing my query, they kept pressing me for information about the neighbour instead. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

It seems that these individuals have previously called us inquiring about some obscure business that I’ve never come across before. Now, to our annoyance, we receive two or three calls daily where no one speaks a word.

This afternoon at half eight, I received a call from these individuals. I’m currently on tenterhooks, anxiously anticipating some test results for my partner, so when the phone rang at that hour, my mind jumped straight to the worst possible scenarios. It turns out the callers were looking for someone who lives three doors down from us! We haven’t got a clue about that neighbour, so we couldn’t provide any help. The callers ended the conversation rather abruptly without revealing who they were. Quite baffling, really!

I was rather surprised when our next-door neighbour decided to give us a bell, seemingly to dig up some information about us. Quite the shameless move, if you ask me. Thankfully, those folks held their cards close to their chest and didn't spill the beans.

Absolutely, Dawn. You’ve got the likes of the Office of Fair Trading, local Trading Standards, and the Financial Ombudsman Service at your disposal. While they often seem somewhat ineffective when dealing with isolated issues, it's important to note that if enough complaints stack up, they may actually take action.

I received a call from my neighbours who mentioned they contacted Wescot Direct at 0844241155. The individuals on the line claimed to be part of their tracing team. They suggested that if I spoke to their managers, they might cease these persistent calls. It seems the situation could improve if we collaborate. It's a bit convoluted, but I’m keen to see some resolution, and apparently, a little dialogue could work in our favour.

She called inquiring about some details regarding our neighbour!

Take a gander at the search engine for 'Beryl Brazier Westcot.' You’ll discover some rather alarming details. It seems Westcot have quite the notorious reputation. Is it really wise to trust a company that conducts itself in such a shameful manner? Surely, it’s not worth parting with your hard-earned cash to support such behaviour!

We recently received a phone call from some individuals inquiring about our neighbours who live a couple of doors down. Since that house is divided into multiple rented rooms, we were quite unable to assist them. We recommended that they drop a note through the letterbox, although they mentioned they’d already done that. After some thought, we advised them to reach out to the landlord for any forwarding information.

In the span of just three days, I’ve received a call from these individuals on four separate occasions, all inquiring about a neighbour of mine. Each time, I've firmly informed them that it’s not my concern and asked how they obtained my number. I've also requested quite firmly that they cease calling me. Now I’m left wondering-can I take legal action against them for this constant nuisance? It's quite maddening!

I gave the number a ring again, and it turned out to be a response service. The trace team number mentioned earlier doesn’t seem to be valid for us; it just comes back as ‘not recognised’. I’ve tried 0141 300 5300, which is linked to 118 118, and it looks like that’s the direct line to the office if anyone needs to lodge a complaint.

Identified as Westcot Credit Services.

Received a call earlier from someone asking, “Is this <my address>?” We didn’t respond and asked for the caller’s identity instead. A lady on the line replied, “I’m from Westcot Services. Can you tell me if Miss Mulgavie still resides at number 86?” We replied that we had no clue, and she quickly said, “Apologies for the disturbance,” before hanging up. Quite the curious encounter!

01482483251 belongs to Westcot Credit Services Ltd. Be wary of these individuals, as they operate as debt collectors and often resort to questionable tactics to retrieve information about those in debt. It’s quite alarming how they flout the law in their quest to gather details. If you find that they are pestering you about your neighbours or anyone else unrelated to you, I strongly recommend reaching out to the Office for Fair Trading or the Information Commissioner. Do not let them intimidate you!

I had someone ring me up seeking information about my neighbours, even after I explicitly asked them not to. It's rather intrusive, don’t you think?

I've been bombarded with calls from 01482483251 at all sorts of hours, so I decided to give Wescot Direct a ring on 0844241155. The individuals I spoke to claimed they were unaware of any such calls. I asked them to identify themselves, insisting they ought to know who they were trying to reach. They promptly hung up on me!

I just received a rather bothersome call from these leeches inquiring about our next-door neighbour. Honestly, it’s quite absurd that they think it’s acceptable to harass strangers who have no affiliation with the individual they’re pursuing. Can you imagine how mortifying it must be for our neighbour to find out they’re being hunted down by some debt collection agency? It’s really not on, if you ask me!

Utterly disgraceful! These pompous charlatans are a complete nuisance. How on earth are they permitted to operate? Constantly pestering people-it’s simply outrageous! I'm fed up with receiving calls meant for someone completely different. This ridiculous company needs to be put out of its misery. Is there anyone I can report this to?

Our elderly parents were quite upset due to repeated calls from this number. Initially, there was just a recorded message that left them feeling confused, as if no one was there. Afterward, they received more calls with the caller trying to inquire about a neighbour they were apparently trying to reach. It seems they've been looking up phone numbers of people in the vicinity, which is rather unsettling.

This company has been calling one of our neighbours regarding a debt that our brother owes! We're planning to ring them tomorrow to sort this out!

I recently called the number mentioned above to request the removal of my details from their database. A lady named Becky informed me that there wasn't a definite timeline for this to happen, which was frustrating. We asked to speak with a supervisor, but none were around at the time. However, I did catch the name 'Emma,' though she wouldn't provide her surname due to what she claimed were company policies. If anyone's looking to lodge a complaint, you might want to note the extension 30192 for the supervisor. Just thought I’d share! Cheers! xxx

Received a call at home today from someone looking for a chap who used to live a bit further down the street. The thing is, he moved out over a year ago! It really gets on our nerves when we get these chilly calls about matters that don't concern us at all.

Our phone line is quite private, and only a select few are permitted access. It seems this company has managed to trace our number and obtained it without consent.

I just had a rather unsettling experience with a call that came through on my mum's landline from the number 01482 483251, claiming to be from Wescot Credit Services based in Glasgow. They were looking to chat with me about a "private matter." When my mum mentioned that I no longer reside there, she asked for a contact number to pass on to me. However, the representative outright refused to provide one. It blew my mind that a debt collection agency was reaching out, especially since I’m quite certain I have no debts myself-considering I work for a debt collection agency too, any outstanding balance could jeopardise my job. After my mum did a 1471 and got the Wescot number, I attempted to ring them back. However, I was met by an automated message stating that if they wished to speak with me, they would call back. A quick visit to Wescot's website led me to their collections line, where I was told there were no accounts under my name in their database. This left me utterly baffled, so I decided to look up the number online and found this site. It turns out that Wescot is trying to contact my mum's next-door neighbours, and because I had once lived with my parents, they mistakenly thought I would be relevant to their inquiry. My mum recalled that a few weeks back, an agency had indeed called with questions regarding the neighbours, which puts everything into perspective. This whole situation has caused me a fair bit of distress, particularly as I deal with clinical depression and was fretting about potentially risking my job over something I’m sure I’m not involved in. I can’t help but feel quite annoyed that I was subjected to this unnecessary stress, particularly given that my employer's tracing department operates much more professionally. If you happen to receive a call from this number, I suggest not to lose your head over it-chances are it’s all a bit of a misunderstanding and truly harmless!

I'm quite fed up with these Wescott folks; they're on the hunt for a bloke I've never heard of in my life. It’s been dragging on for at least a year now! They seem convinced that there's an outstanding bill tied to my address, but I've been living here for seven years and I can assure you, I've never heard of this chap! What on earth is going on?

That's a number from Hull, isn't it?

Honestly, this marks the fifth time my phone's rung today with the same number. Enough is enough! If it carries on like this, I might have to raise a formal complaint.
