01563503838 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01563503838 👆 is reported as a persistently annoying and unsolicited caller, often leaving automated voicemail messages seeking individuals who do not reside at the numbers called. Many reports describe frequent calls to both personal and business lines, sometimes multiple times daily, causing significant frustration and concern. The calls are linked to debt collection agencies, particularly McKenzie Hall posing as PRA UK or related entities, though targets often deny any debt or association. The origin of the phone numbers used is unclear, with some users suggesting their numbers may have been improperly obtained or sold. Callbacks reveal poor record-keeping and inconsistent information, leading to doubts about legitimacy. This practice is widely viewed as intrusive, unprofessional, and potentially unlawful, with recommendations for strong regulatory action and caution advised for recipients.

I've been getting calls from this number like 5 or 6 times daily, which is sooo frustrating since I don't owe anyone money.

Seriously, I’m getting so tired of these idiots ringing me all the time... can’t they just take a hint and stop pissing people off? Get lost for good!

This number has been ringing me almost every single day now, and it’s getting really annoying. It feels like pure harassment, and honestly, there should be some serious penalties slapped on whoever’s behind it. Also, I keep wondering, where are they getting all these phone numbers from? The people selling or sharing numbers like that deserve heavy fines as well. It’s just not on.

I keep getting these robotic voicemails almost every couple of days, never an actual call, telling me someone named 'Durga Durga Gallacher' should ring them back on a certain number. The company behind these calls is PRE UK ltd. It’s so frustrating and I have no idea how to make them stop.

I received a voicemail from a robot regarding the number 01159713312, but it looks like they were actually trying to reach me on 01563503838. We're a reputable business that always settles our bills, so it's hard to trust this one.

For months now, I've been getting daily calls from someone named Ben Bengi, telling me to ring back a certain number. It's honestly driving me mad. I've signed up for the Preference Service, but somehow these calls keep slipping through all the same.

About five times a week I get voicemails from someone called Mathew Bartlet - whom I’ve never heard of - claiming to be from Portfolio Recovery Limited. I’ve no connection to them or any debts they might be after. I’ve rang them a few times to sort it out, but they insist my number isn’t in their system. Still, the calls keep coming. Plus, they leave me on hold for ages, which makes me suspicious like it could be one of those high-rate numbers. Really frustrating!

I’m not sure how they got hold of my number since it’s meant to be unlisted. I’ve got no debts or loans or anything like that. Anyway, it was just one of those automated calls.

I keep receiving messages meant for someone called John Henkinson. I called back once to tell them they had the wrong number, and they said I’d been removed from their list. Yet, the calls just don’t stop. Honestly, companies like these are such a nuisance and really ought to be stopped. It’s so frustrating!

Our business voicemail gets these annoying messages almost every other day. First there’s a recorded message, then some random person says a name no one recognises here. It’s always the same name too, which is just weird! If they’re supposed to be solicitors, they come across as really unprofessional. Best steer clear and don’t get involved with them, that’s my tip.

Been getting loads of automated calls on my phone recently, and after a while I got fed up. So I rang the number back and told them to take my number off their list. They said my number wasn’t even on their records, but I still asked them to delete it just in case.

After hours at our business, we keep getting voicemail from some Steven Woodhead. It’s super irritating - just an automated voice going over and over, saying Steven Woodhead tried to get in touch. Such a nuisance!

I’ve only been living here a couple of weeks and got a new number just over a week ago, yet I’ve already had two calls. I’m not in any debt, so I’m baffled how these people got hold of my contact - bit suspicious, maybe BT passed my details on or something!

Got a call at the office today, someone asking for a couple of our employees and then another name we’ve never heard before. When we asked what it was about, they wouldn’t say a thing. Feels a bit fishy if you ask me.

This number called me and left a voicemail. I've no clue who they are, but the caller said her name was Julie Owen from Mckenzie Hall. Can someone help me get them off my list?

I got a call from Pra Dept Collections (Halls) saying they bought some debts from Wonga.com or something like that. Now they're chasing me to pay up money I supposedly owe. It's a bit stressful!

This morning I got a call from this number, and when I picked up there was a voicemail asking for someone else and claiming it was from PRA. But when I called the number back without giving my info, I found out it’s actually McKenzie Hall, a debt collection/legal firm. So they're pretending to be PRA to get in touch with people about debts. I’m not sure if that’s allowed or not. No clue how they managed to get my number in the first place. Just thought I'd share in case it helps anyone else.

I had a call on my work number too, and we've got loads of extensions (mine’s the first one after the reception that's usually busy), so I’m not really sure who they were trying to reach or if it was even from the company? I can't imagine a debt collector would ring you at work where anyone can pick up, so it probably was the company itself?

Just a heads up, I got a call from McKenzie Hall who are pretending to be PRA Serving Ltd. Funny thing is, PRA Serving Ltd appears as a Bureau De Change in Kilmarnock, the same spot where McKenzie Hall operates from. Honestly, don't bother talking to these lot, they're just debt collectors trying to pull a fast one!

Got a missed call from this lot just the other day. When I rang back, they couldn’t get my last name right, which felt dodgy right from the start. So, when they asked me to verify any info I just said no because they had it wrong. They did warn me that I might get something through the post. I’ll update here if anything turns up in the post.

Got a call missed from this number earlier today, roughly 3:30 in the afternoon. Every time they tried, there was a voicemail waiting - sounded like one of those automated messages from PRA UK, some company I’ve never come across before. Bit strange, honestly. Just like someone else mentioned, it’s pretty odd that nobody seemed to have any contact from them before just today.

Got a call on my mum’s landline just now. They knew my name and wanted me to ring them back, but I’ve no clue who they are. Said something about Nationwide, but I’ve never been a customer there. Bit odd if you ask me! Might give them a bell tomorrow and share what I find out!

I got a call from a number that left a voicemail asking me to get in touch. They kept saying something like PRA UK? Not really sure what that’s about. If it’s some bank called PRA UK, I really don’t get why they’re ringin me up since I’ve never had an account with them or anything like that. Confused, honestly.
