Received an unexpected call on my mobile from this number, but they didn’t leave a message. I decided to ring back from a different phone, to find out who was on the other end, yet they hung up before revealing anything. As it turns out, it’s MACKENZIE HALL, a company known for pursuing outstanding debts. Remarkable how these things work!

Received a call earlier from this number. The message was quite garbled; it prompted me to press 1 to chat with someone, 2 for a return call, and 3 if I didn't know the caller. But who on earth were they? No names were provided at all. Fingers crossed they’re just trying to reach someone with the same name, and before long they’ll get the right person and stop pestering us!

A young lady contacted us from this number, inquiring about our payment history for a web service through Telewest. The confusion arose because we are actually using BT for our internet services. Unfortunately, she didn’t seem to acknowledge that fact.

We've been inundated with messages on my mother's phone from these individuals! At 88 years old and residing in a care home, she hardly needs this hassle. I spoke to one of their representatives, and they seemed to think that contacting Trading Standards was out of the question. It’s absolutely disgraceful! These folks are a nuisance and specifically target those who are most at risk.

This number keeps ringing our house, and we have no clue who the caller might be.

I’ve been bombarded by incessant calls from these folks at all hours-morning, afternoon, and well into the evening, even as late as 9 in the evening. It’s wearing me down, to say the least! Yes, I do have an outstanding debt of £200, and I’m already repaying at a rate of £20 a week. Yet, they refuse to relent and continuously pestering me for additional payments. Honestly, we’ve stopped answering their calls altogether!

It appears to be an agency that specialises in recovering outstanding debts.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that the ongoing credit crisis stems from individuals neglecting to settle their bills for an extended period. While we do acknowledge that the tactics employed might be rather forceful, at the end of the day, if you take out a loan, it’s only proper to repay it. That’s simply the right thing to do, isn’t it?

We wholeheartedly echo Bob's sentiments. It seems that some individuals would prefer to jump through hoops, switching phones and numbers, instead of addressing their actual debts. Meanwhile, genuine folks are bearing the brunt of the credit crunch because a few seem to evade their financial responsibilities! Rather than tarnishing the reputation of a company, why not consider settling your debts instead?

What a scam this turned out to be!

Certainly, we received a call where the caller insisted that we confirm our address details prior to divulging the business name. We were quite unwilling to comply, and as a result, he mentioned that a letter would be sent to us. We ended the conversation abruptly. Let's wait and see what unfolds.

This number keeps phoning me about a debt I supposedly owe from years ago. I've already sorted things out with a Debt Relief Order through Christians Against Poverty, but despite that, they won’t stop pestering me for all sorts of personal details. They've been asking about my health, my kids, benefits, whether I have a contract phone, and even if I regularly donate to charities. They really dig deep into your private life. At one point, they wanted me to prove my illness with a doctor’s note - which would cost me £22 to get, and I’m only living on £72 a week. The callers were incredibly rude and intrusive. Honestly, I just ended up hanging up because the questions dragged on forever and it was pointless. I’m trying to sort out my debt, I shouldn’t have to deal with this nonsense anymore. It feels like harassment, and I’m definitely going to report them.

We got a letter with this number on it, claiming we owed over £700 for a gas bill linked to a company that doesn't even live here. We only bought this place about a year and a half ago, so I called them to explain the company isn’t at this address anymore. They said that would sort things out. But then today, they phoned me again asking for someone from that business. Somehow they still had my private number from when I called them earlier, and the woman on the phone just lied straight up, saying my number was connected to that company. I called her out and told her if they didn’t delete my details from their system, I’d consider legal options. Absolutely shocking behaviour.

This is regarding Mackenzie Hall, a debt recovery firm based in Kilmarnock. They are relentless, it seems. The numbers they often utilise include 08009 1772 225 and 01563 354 785, although they do sometimes obscure their caller ID. I'd recommend getting a Calling-ID phone and, if you've got BT, consider their complimentary call screening service. This typically limits the number of times they try to contact you, and they do leave a message for which you incur a charge. You can then review the message they left afterwards.

Honestly, these folks are absolutely bonkers! They keep calling our parents' place, sharing sensitive information with family members, and are relentless when it comes to harassing people. It's quite distressing!

If you ever receive a call from someone probing for your address or any personal information, do yourself a favour and don't divulge a thing! I’ve been trying to find out who these callers are, and they’ve dodged my questions completely, spouting some nonsense about the Data Protection Act. Absolute nonsense! They come across as a debt collection agency, yet in a legitimate business scenario, they would have the courtesy to introduce themselves without any fuss. Stay vigilant, mates!

We received a call from these individuals, and it appeared they were merely interested in helping us tidy up our overdue Argos catalogue payments. To be frank, they didn’t come off as dodgy or anything of the sort. It might be wise for everyone to keep their debts in check; that way, folks like this wouldn’t feel the need to reach out in the first place!

I'm really grateful for this website; it’s given us a sense of security. We kept receiving incessant calls, and these callers refuse to disclose any information unless we verify our details first. I appreciate the insights shared by others here - it's genuinely comforting to know we're not alone in this. Cheers to you all!

My mother has been getting calls from this number, and the callers keep asking her to confirm our address. The strange part is, they refuse to explain what the problem is or why they’re requesting such information. It seems to involve some sort of legal matter, so we decided to reach out to them ourselves, but they were just as unhelpful. We're completely in the dark about what’s going on and why we’re being contacted like this. It’s all rather baffling!

I received a call from a company regarding a car we scrapped ages ago, but it seems we neglected to notify the DVLA. We’ve been inundated with letters, despite having informed the DVLA about the situation. The issue is, the address they've got is actually a forwarding address, yet they seem relentless in their correspondence. It’s becoming quite a nuisance!

Exercise caution with this caller; the person we've been dealing with, a Mr White, has been downright unpleasant. We're utterly unsettled as we fear he might take our belongings away. It seems he has no intention of accepting a fair offer, despite it being perfectly reasonable and within our means.

Today my phone rang from 01563554540 but it went straight to voicemail. A woman’s voice asked me to ring back on 01563503847, which appears linked to Mackenzie Hall. Since I didn’t recognise either the number or the company, I searched online and stumbled across this blog. I’ve now added the number to my phone’s block list, so fingers crossed they won’t bother me again.

They ring me daily but I just dont answer. Once I heard a bloke say a name, sounded like 'Ryan Rob' or something, then a recorded lady says 'Mackenzie Hall is trying to get through to you, press 1 for an agent or call back on 01563554540'. The last time was about 8 in the evening. I've never owed anyone a penny!!! My number is registered with the telephone preference service but they keep ringing anyway.

I keep getting this automated call nearly every day from a woman's voice saying something like, "You've got a message from Mackenzie Hall, press 1 to talk to an agent or call 01563 554540." Then a man's voice comes on, saying a womans name, and then the whole thing repeats. I honestly haven't a clue why they’re bothering me so much.

Got a voicemail from them about my late partner, who passed away 6 years ago and hasn’t lived here for about 8 years. How on earth did they find my number? Really puzzled by this.

Over the past week, my unpublished work mobile has been flooded with texts and voicemails from this number, something totally new to me. They keep asking to speak with Joan at Mackenzie Hall, giving some reference number ******, from 01563554540. I tried replying with a cease and desist message, but keep getting “network out of order” errors, so it’s clear they don't wanna hear any complaints. There’s no way I’m handing over my personal info to them. A quick search online reveals they're debt collectors using sly phishing tactics to rope people in. I don't owe any debts, and if they really knew me, they’d have my address. The whole thing just seems dodgy to me.
