10 monthsI got a message from Equita saying I owed money for a parking fine, but the funny thing is, I’ve never even set foot in Northampton nor do I have a car. Seems strange how they came up with that! I’ve read that others have fallen for this too, so honestly, just don’t respond to their calls or texts - it’s definitely a con!EquitaNorthampton11 monthsAbsolute rip off. Couple years back, I got caught out by these lot about council tax debts. I went online and paid up using info from an Equita letter. Then my council got in touch saying they never got a penny and sent me another debt notice! I’d rang them first cause I was stressed and fed up, just to check. Watch yourselves, folks. If you’re not waiting on any financial updates or payments, just let unknown numbers ring off. Don’t fall for this SCAM number.Equita1 yearBe careful of these numbers 01604 628360 and +44 7507 236617, they’re sending scam texts. I live miles away and have never even been to the place they’re talking about, some council debt from a city I don't know. Proper fraudsters trying to trick folks. Keep your eyes open if you get messages from these numbers!1 yearWatch out everyone, I didn’t pick up the phone and later got a voicemail from what sounded like Northampton council - definitely feels like a scam.Northampton Council2 yearsGot a text supposedly from Equita Ltd claiming I owe £279 for an unpaid Penalty Charge Notice linked to the London Borough of Camden. Problem is, I’m based in the Midlands and have never owned a car or been anywhere near Camden. Felt a bit dodgy to me.Equita LtdCamden BoroughMidlandsCamden2 yearsLooks like a total scam. Someone used my dad’s name and our address for some fake unpaid council tax claim. When he tried calling them back to sort it out, they got really rude and started shouting. My dad’s quite old and just didn’t want me to get into any trouble over something dodgy linked to our home. It was completely unnecessary. Eventually, they just hung up on him and never picked up when he rang again. I’m just going to bin the letter and not bother with any more stuff that turns up in the post!2 yearsI received a rather surprising phone call demanding payment for a fine linked to a vehicle I'd parted ways with over a month ago. It appears they had all the details regarding a CCTV incident where that very car was seen navigating a bus lane. Quite the coincidence, wouldn’t you say?CCTV2 yearsGot a text telling me to ring this number about clearing a debt of £1475.88. Problem is, I don’t owe anyone that amount. I’m definitely not phoning back and I’ll be reporting it straight away.3 yearsThis is a scam number 0160462836, watch out!3 yearsEquita just purchases the debt, so once they have it, the debt is paid off. You dont have any agreement with them and dont owe them a penny. Its simple contract law. Look into sites like beat the bailiffs for advice on dealing with them. Councils really shouldn't be sharing personal info, its a clear GDPR violation.EquitaBeat the Bailiffs3 yearsFrom what I understand, Equita just purchases the debt, so technically, once they've bought it, the debt is cleared. You don’t actually have any agreement with Equita themselves, so you don’t owe them anything. This is just basic stuff about contracts. You might want to look into websites like Beat the Bailiffs for advice on dealing with situations like this. Also, I reckon councils probably shouldn’t be sharing your information in the first place - that might be a breach of GDPR rules.EquitaBeat the Bailiffs4 yearsGot a text saying a bailiff was gonna contact me, telling me to ring 07956 048284 or 'Michael Furlonger' and mention reference 2318021. Looks like the number is linked to Equita, some firm based in a scruffy looking place down a private street in Northampton. People have been talking about them on here since at least 2015. How come nobody ever takes action against these dodgy companies?Michael FurlongerEquitaNorthampton4 yearsI got caught out by these lot before and now they’ve sent me a dodgy penalty letter, using this number and pretending to be ‘Equita’ debt collectors. Totally a con.4 yearsPeople keep calling me about debts I dont owe. Its so annoying!4 yearsIts Equita, one of those debt collecting companies. I missed their call and when I tried to ring them back, it just kept ringing and then disconnected. Really charming behaviour (not).Equita5 yearsThis phone number is real. It belongs to Equita Ltd, a company often used by local councils for chasing debts. On their site, they say they focus on collecting council tax, business rates and traffic fines, plus they provide various commercial services and debt recovery options like sundry debts, housing benefit repayments and even High Court enforcement.Equita LtdHigh Court5 yearsjust got a call and a text again, i thought bailiffs never gave you a heads up before they showed up, usually they just rock up out of the blue like a surprise visit or something5 yearsThey keep harassing me out of nowhere, saying I owe them money.5 yearssaying dept too5 yearsEquita is a dodgy company. I sorted out my council tax dispute back in January. The Tribunal isn’t until August. These so-called ‘debt collectors’ started bothering me over 7 weeks after I’d paid everything off. Now I’m taking legal action against them. They keep pestering me and I’ve told the judge this counts as contempt of court. The calls and texts just keep coming nonstop.5 yearsEquita It appears this lot resembles a bunch of despicable cowboys. Back in January, I settled what they called a ‘debt’ regarding my council tax. Now, with the Tribunal set for August, I've taken the so-called ‘debt collectors’ to court since they've started their relentless harassment more than seven weeks after I cleared the whole thing up. Despite them being well aware of the resolution, they persist in their calls and messages. I've even brought this ongoing harassment to the attention of the judge, citing it as an act of contempt. The nuisance just won’t quit!Tribunal5 yearsI've had quite the ordeal with this shoddy cowboy outfit. Back in January, I addressed the whole saga about my council tax 'debt' that I disputed. Can you believe the tribunal meeting isn’t until August? Meanwhile, I've decided to take these so-called 'debt collectors' to court since they began their relentless harassment over seven weeks after I resolved the so-called 'debt'. They just won’t let up! I've raised the issue of their constant pestering with the judge, as it feels very much like contempt of court. Regrettably, the phone calls and texts keep flooding in. It's a right mess!5 yearsgot a message saying someone plans to come round my place soon5 yearsI haven't a clue who this is or how they managed to get hold of my number!5 yearsGot a message from enforcement egle Cross saying some agent will come round, but it’s a total scam. I don’t owe money to anyone.Enforcement Eagle Cross7 yearsI won't engage in conversation unless you can provide a specific name. Moreover, I'm unable to disclose the balance due as that's against policy! The caller abruptly ended the call. We've been requesting receipts for our payments, yet none have been issued, and I would like a detailed explanation of the outstanding debt.7 yearsI've been getting letters about owing money for some penalty but they dont say what its for or the amount owed. Tried calling the number but no one answers and it just cuts me off. Definitely feels like a scam, better block this company quick before they scam more people.7 yearsToday I got a letter from Equita like the ones other people have mentioned, saying I was in London on 8th Jan 2019 and owe a motoring fine. I wasnt even in London at that time. This has got to be a scam. If they’ve been doing this for years, why hasn’t anything been done to stop them?EquitaLondon7 yearsReceived a letter saying I parked in a residential spot in Chelmsford back on 7/1/2019. Thing is, I've never even been to Chelmsford and I live up in Scotland. Plus, I had family visiting just before Christmas, they only left mid-January. No car registration mentioned either, so this has got to be a scam. Don't call them, report it to both the police and council straight away!ChelmsfordScotland7 yearsdoes anyone have any idea how to handle equita??Equita7 yearsReceived a letter from this number claiming to be from "EQUITA". I do have some debts but the notice doesnt mention any amounts or details. The letter looked dodgy, like the printer ran out of ink mid-way. It came in a handwritten envelope with the address taped on. When I called, they said I'd talked to them before, but I honestly never have. Feels like a scam to me. Do yourself a favour and dont respond to their letter or answer their calls!EQUITA7 yearsI've received some dodgy letters from them without any specifics regarding the supposed violation, like the car registration or the location of this alleged incident. What's more, the letter landed on my doorstep well after I could have responded to it. To make matters worse, the alleged offence took place on a day when I had actually been sent home from work ill, leaving me bedridden for three days following that. It's all rather baffling, to say the least!7 yearsRobocall, no thanks.7 yearsI've received messages regarding some outstanding debt, and they’ve provided a dubious number for Val: +447712390964. Seems rather fishy to me!8 yearsThey keep ringing me but the debt is under someone else's name - somebody I ain't familiar with. Now they’re texting me saying they’ll show up to collect the debt from this person I don’t even know.8 yearsGot a text saying my case was sent to Equita Enforcement Agents and to ring the number to make a payment. Total scam. I don’t owe anything at all.Equita Enforcement Agents8 yearsIt's so frustrating, they keep ringing an elderly person nonstop even after being told they're vulnerable. When told, they just said 'we don’t care'. I had to block the number. EQUITA just ignores all the complaint emails. The government really needs to step in and sort these awful companies out.Equita8 yearsgot two messages about a month apart, first one said theyd sent my case to equity enforcement and just got another today saying a law enforcement officer might come by. ive never had an actual phone call about this and i honestly dont think i owe any money or tickets since ive never gotten any letters about it. feeling a bit worried about whats going on.8 yearsReceived a text saying they’d been passed my case about some unpaid debt. They wanna me to ring a number and sort it out. I’m sure I don’t owe anything, sounds like a dodgy scam to me.8 yearsI got a letter delivered to my house and decided to call the number on it. The first time I called, they just cut me off. On the second call, they asked for loads of personal details, which I didn’t feel comfortable giving, and wouldn’t say what the call was about either. I accused them of trying to phish info, and they just said "right" and hung up. From the dial tones, it sounded like the people answering were English and based in the UK. I also told them I was recording the call because of the new data protection rules, they acknowledged it but still ended the call!UK8 yearsdefinitely a scam, watch out!8 yearsGot a call from Equita Limited about debts they say I owe. Bit odd since I’ve only been here a week and just got this phone number.Equita Limited9 yearsSomebody rang me about a parking fine in London, but ive never even set foot there! They keep warning they’ll tow my car away, which is mad. How on earth did they get my home details and my car info? Pretty sure it’s a proper scam!London9 yearsThis number popped up on a fake letter saying I owed £173 for driving in a bus lane. Problem is, I don’t have a car registered to me and the address was my parents’ place, which isn’t on my driving licence either. Definitely a scam. Don’t waste your time calling. I’ve reported it to my local council as well.9 yearsGot a letter with this number saying it was Equita after me for some dodgy parking fine. Total scam, felt pretty threatening too. Definitely a fraud.Equita9 yearsdodgy call, best not to pick up!9 yearsThey were super rude and clueless, really had no idea what they were doing. They called the wrong person (me), on the wrong number (mine), and had zero clue who I was. The funny part is the government actually allows them to work as debt collectors haha unbelievable!9 yearsThese so-called debt collectors are not even registered or authorised. They’ve got no legal backing or court papers. Just dodgy people trying their luck. Best thing is to block the number and don’t answer. If you reply, it just proves your number is live.10 yearsannoying phone call11 yearsEquita Limited keep ringin me from loads of different numbers, sayin I owe money but calling me by the wrong name - makes no sense at all!Equita LimitedSubmit Your Own Report (01604 628360)
