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 bombarded with calls around five or six times daily, and it’s utterly infuriating since I don’t have any outstanding debts!

I’m absolutely exasperated with this number ringing me almost daily. It feels like harassment at this point, and I reckon there ought to be some serious penalties slapped on them for their incessant calls. And honestly, who on earth is passing around my number? They should face hefty fines too for their role in this nuisance!

I keep receiving these automated messages every couple of days, always requesting a certain 'Durga Durga Gallacher' to return the call to this number. They're representing PRE UK Ltd, apparently. It's rather irritating, to be honest, and I feel hopeless in trying to put an end to it!

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.

This number keeps ringing my office, often as many as three times a day! I don’t have any outstanding payments or debts, so it’s maddening. What's worse is that it’s not me who answers-it’s the receptionist who has to field these calls. Quite frustrating, really!

I've been receiving daily calls from someone named Ben Bengi, urging me to ring a particular number. This has been happening for months now, and it's really starting to irritate me. Despite registering with the preference service, this number somehow still manages to get through to me. Quite frustrating, to say the least!

Each week, I seem to receive about five voicemails from a chap named Mathew Bartlet-someone I've never heard of before. These messages are all from Portfolio Recovery Limited, a company that’s completely unfamiliar to me, and to be honest, I don’t have any debts to their name. I've reached out to them multiple times, only to be told they cannot find any record linked to my phone number. Yet, the calls persist! It’s incredibly frustrating, and the lengthy time I’m left hanging on hold raises suspicions that it might be some sort of expensive hotline. Such an annoyance!

I've been inundated with messages intended for a chap named John Henkinson. After attempting to return the call to clarify their mistake, I was assured that my number had been removed from their list. Yet, to my annoyance, the calls persist unabated. It's incredibly frustrating, and folks like them truly ought to be put in their place; they’re a right nuisance!

Our business answerphone receives these strange messages roughly twice a week. Each time, it starts with a recorded spiel, followed by a different voice mentioning some random name! It’s always the same name, and I can assure you, no one in the office has a clue who this person is. What a right bother! It’s incredibly unprofessional, particularly if it’s from solicitors. My suggestion? Steer well clear of them!

After enduring a barrage of automated calls on my mobile in recent months, I finally reached my breaking point. I decided to dial the number that kept popping up and demanded that they take my details off their records. They insisted that my number wasn't listed, but I still pressed them to erase it just to be on the safe side.

We've been receiving voicemails outside of our operating hours from a chap named Steven Woodhead. It's rather infuriating, to say the least! The automated voice chimes in repeatedly, merely stating that Steven Woodhead has attempted to reach us. Quite irritating indeed!

In the brief fortnight that I've been residing here, I've received two phone calls, which is quite puzzling. To add to the conundrum, I've only just activated this new phone number a week ago. I’m in the clear financially, so I can’t fathom how they stumbled upon my digits-could it be that BT has offloaded my information? It’s rather unsettling to think about!

This morning I received a call from the number in question. Upon picking up, I found a voicemail asking for another individual's name and claiming to be from PRA. Nonetheless, out of curiosity, I decided to ring the number back anonymously, only to discover that it was actually a firm known as Mckenzie Hall, a debt recovery agency and legal service. It seems they might be employing a deceptive alias (PRA) to reach out to those indebted. Whether this practice is within the bounds of the law remains uncertain. I am puzzled as to how they obtained my number in the first place. I trust this information proves to be useful.

I experienced something similar, as they rang my workplace number, which has a variety of extensions (mine being the first one after the reception, but it's not available at the moment). I'm uncertain whom the call was intended for or even whether it's genuinely from that company. I find it hard to believe that a debt collection agency would reach out to someone at work on a public line, so it’s likely to be the actual organisation, isn’t it?

Beware of McKenzie Hall, the debt collection agency masquerading as PRA Serving Ltd! They’re supposedly linked to a currency exchange in Kilmarnock where they operate from. Avoid engaging with these unscrupulous individuals at all costs!

I received a missed call from this number yesterday as well. When I rang them back, they got my last name completely wrong. I was asked to verify some information, but I wasn’t comfortable doing that since they couldn’t even get my surname right. They mentioned I should be on the lookout for a letter in the post. I’ll make sure to update everyone if I get anything delivered.

I received a call from this number earlier today at about half past three. They left a voicemail on each occasion, and it turned out to be an automated message from PRA UK-definitely not a company I'm familiar with. Quite peculiar, if you ask me... as someone else pointed out, it's strange that nobody seemed to have any prior experience with them until just a few hours back.

I just received a rather curious call on my mum's landline! The individual on the other end mentioned my name specifically and requested that I return the call. The company, it seems, is connected with Nationwide, which is odd since I’ve never held an account with them. Quite the peculiar situation, I must say! I’m contemplating giving them a ring tomorrow, so I’ll be sure to share the details of our conversation!

I've just received a similar call myself. They left a voicemail addressed to me, asking for a callback. It sounded like they mentioned PRA UK? I can’t be certain, but if it’s indeed PRA UK Bank, I’m at a loss as to why they’d get in touch with me-I've never had an account or even shown interest in banking with them! It’s all rather baffling, to be honest.
