Reports on phone number 01618202476
7 yearsI recently got a call from the number mentioned above, claiming to represent the Free Money Advice Centre located at 23 New Mount Street in Manchester. They said my details had been forwarded to them by Citizens Advice. While they did provide some convincing information over WhatsApp during the call, I couldn't find any record of their business at that address when I looked it up. I'm quite certain this is a scam!Free Money Advice CentreNew Mount StreetManchesterCitizens AdviceWhatsApp7 yearsGot a call from HMRC about some tax fraud. The automated voice was telling me there was suspicious activity on my account and I had to press 1 or face arrest. Didn’t seem right at all, so I’ve blocked the number now.HMRC7 yearsSome fake HMRC person called me saying the police are gonna arrest me if I don't pay my "overdue taxes" right away. I just put the phone down straight away!HMRC7 yearsTotal scam! Just block the number. Don’t pick up or they’ll realise it’s active and sell it to telemarketers or scammers. Stay safe!7 yearsTotal scam!! Never pick up - if you do, they know the number is active and then pass it on to telemarketers and other scammers.Avoid7 yearsDo not pick up, its just a spam caller.7 yearsI was shocked at how impolite this guy with an Asian accent was after I said I wasn’t interested in whatever he was trying to push! He called me a proper d#### c#$t and said I should be stoned to d####!! Apart from that, he seemed alright, but honestly, hope something nasty happens to him ??Asia7 yearsGot a random call from a number I don't recognise. I picked up and left the phone down without saying anything. A bloke with an Indian accent asked for someone kinda like me, but he got the first letter of my last name wrong on purpose, I reckon, sounded a bit cheeky. When I stayed silent, he muttered something in his language and hung up after about 16 seconds. Lovely fellow, hope he trips over a pavement stone on his way back or something.7 yearsWhy is this bloke from India always calling me? I've got no debts or anything, honestly.India7 yearsNot sure if these lot will ever read this but seriously, stop ringing me. They claimed to be from some investigation team about a debt. When I asked which department or authority they were from, the bloke started swearing and getting all rude. Honestly, they're just trying to pressure you into admitting you owe money and sorting it out quick. They kept saying it was 'flagged on my credit report' but I've never had any debt. Don’t trust anyone who says that it's on your credit report - I really doubt they can even see it.7 yearsI keep receiving calls from this number, claiming they're looking into some sort of tax evasion. They insist that if I part with £2000, they'll resolve the matter for me. It all sounds incredibly dodgy!7 yearsHad a couple of calls from this number, and when I said I was busy with something else, the bloke started shouting in Hindi like I wouldn’t get it. Proper rude behaviour. Hope I can find out which firm employs him, his name was Nawaz. Got seven calls in total.Nawaz7 yearsI received a rather unpleasant call where the cheeky blighter on the other end told me I was a right muppet and suggested I should just do one. Quite ridiculous, I must say!7 yearsRude bloke looking after goats.7 yearsGot a call off this number but when I picked up, no one said anything. Then the call just ended.7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they could sort out my debts! I said no thanks, I’ve got none. Then the bloke told me to shove off and just ended the call. Sounded like he was from India.India7 yearsGot a call from this number but when I picked up, there was just silence, no one spoke. Tried looking it up but couldn't find anything about it anywhere.7 yearsTotal rip off, watch out!7 yearsGot a call from an Indian bloke claiming he could sort out my debts? Said he was from citizens advice but what a load of rubbish. Then he goes and calls me a motherf##ker! If you get calls saying you owe money, ignore it - I don’t even have a credit card????? Total scam. Definitely not from Manchester, the 0161 number was just a front, safe to say they’re based in India. Don't trust this number at all.Citizens AdviceManchesterIndia7 yearsMy 90 year old grandad got a call saying he owed money. I grabbed the phone off him and when I asked where they got his number from, the guy started swearing at me and then just hung up. It was an Indian bloke on the line. The call came from a Manchester based number. Now my grandad is really shaken up. Honestly, avoid picking up these scammers at all costs!Manchester7 yearsCalled me once then just dropped the call. After reading these reviews, imma block for sure. Tried calling back but no one answered, number seems dodgy for sure.7 yearsCalled me once then just got cut off. After reading everyones reviews, I’m for sure blocking the number. Tried to ring back and it’s just dead, so not someone I’d trust.7 yearsSCAM ALERT SCAM ALERT CAN'T YOU JUST STOP CALLING ME ALREADY!!!7 yearsI've been getting loads of calls from this firm every day and it's really getting on my nerves. When I asked them how they got my number, one of them just said "I will #### you hard" and then ended the call.7 yearsThis number keeps ringing me but I have no idea who it is! I've just blocked it now!7 yearsDefinitely a scam, don’t share any personal info with them. When I told them I didn’t owe anything, they told me to bugger off.7 yearsGot a call from these annoying people today and honestly, I was shocked by how rude and nasty they were. I won’t even bother repeating the insults, they were pretty awful. Definitely steer clear of them if you can.7 yearsGot a ring once, then they just hung up. Been reading through the comments and some of them sound way too wordy and sketchy, like the callers themselves wrote them. Seems like the same lot who rang my mobile (07547 282609) about half an hour ago and got quite rude when I nicely told them to stop calling. Watch out, people.7 yearsRicky Roger? He’s meant to be Indian? Yeah, right...Ricky RogerBlimey7 yearsGot calls from some Indian guy asking about my 15 year old son, saying he owed money or something. I told them it was rubbish and then they went on to call me a damn basterd. What’s wrong with people?7 yearsGot a call from an 0161 number just now, but it was clear they weren’t actually in England if you catch my drift... sounded like an Indian bloke. Do us all a favour and piss off.EnglandIndia7 yearsHe said he was with credit investigations, but after seeing all the other excuses folks have used with this number, it's pretty obvious they’re scammers. It even looks like they’re posting fake reviews themselves on here now.7 yearsEveryone who helped me begin and complete the enrolment process was really kind and knew their stuff… Big thanks to National Debt Relief for supporting me through this stressful and challenging period. Cheers, KodiNational Debt ReliefKodi7 yearsI found it pretty simple to reach someone. I never felt like I was being left hanging for no reason. Whenever I rang, I got to speak to a real person straight away. It wasn’t like when I’ve dealt with others and just ended up with some robot or endless delays. They took the time to explain everything multiple times. They showed real understanding and even acknowledged the debt seasoning situation.7 yearsRaggz convinced me this was the right move, even though I was a bit hesitant at first. He explained things clearly enough so I could see it made sense. The creditors were about to drag me to court and the constant annoying calls were wearing me down. All I had to do was give them the MONEY ADVICE SERVICE CENTRE’s phone and address. Really grateful for the help. Definitely recommend. Brian O GradyRaggzBrian O ’ Grady7 yearsI was really drowning in debt and felt like I wasn’t making any progress despite paying regularly. It was just going back and forth, no real improvement. Then, I caught a mention of the Money Advice Service on the radio. I called them up and spoke with a guy named Ricky Rodgers for about 45 minutes. He was really helpful and clear about how everything works. I chose to go ahead with it because I realised I wouldn’t be able to use my credit cards anymore since the programme closes all the accounts. It’s definitely made managing my finances much simpler now. Rochel RafulMoney Advice ServiceRicky RodgersRochel Raful7 yearsIt seemed to be an Indian lady. She just said "bye" in this really quiet and kinda creepy tone. Watch out.7 yearsI’m pretty happy with this service so far and the support I’ve had from them. Can’t wait to finally be free from all this debt. It’s been really weighing me down, those bills are a nightmare. Debt relief was defo what I needed, so cheers for all the assistance. The IVA team have been really helpful - Ricky especially, he’s great. Would give them 6 stars if I could!IVARicky7 yearsReally happy with the service and the support team knew their stuff well. So pleased I decided to join up. I’ll definitely tell my mates who are struggling with debt about this company. Ricky Rogers ## was super professional, thorough, and very supportive. He’s a real credit to your team. Massie WilliamsonRicky RogersMassie Williamson7 yearsI reckon they must be a call centre based in the UK but really helpful. Both Ricky and Ragzz, if I got their names right, seemed like the people greeting me and they gave loads of info and answered all my questions really well. They were super friendly and patient. Thanks a lot! DebbieUKRickyRagzzBestDebbie7 yearsSome folks act on your behalf when the debt collectors ring up, making the whole process so much simpler. They handle all the calls and speak on your behalf with professionalism. Often, people struggle to talk to creditors or just dont know the right way to do it. Using Debt Relief takes that weight off your shoulders. Ricky's brilliant at what he does!ReliefRicky7 yearsThey really helped me out. I’m feeling more hopeful about what’s ahead. Can’t wait to finally be rid of all this debt. I’ve got a plan that actually works for me now. Without their support, I don’t think I’d have managed to sort my debts - I was honestly quite worried. They set up a payment scheme I could comfortably manage. At first, I was worried it might be a scam after reading some reviews, but turns out they’re legit and genuinely helpful.7 yearsI just wanna say thanks for making me feel better and showing that you're here to support me, not cause trouble. Really kind and thoughtful of you. I'm a bit nervous but they promised to stick with me throughout and give me a hand whenever I need it.7 yearsReally appreciated all the help I got during this whole thing. The folks there were really kind and got where I was coming from, they came up with a plan that suited me and helped me keep some cash in my pocket. Definitely would suggest this company to anyone struggling with credit issues.7 yearsReally helpful folks here.7 yearsI chose not to pick up and just looked up the number instead. Absolutely not gonna call back.7 yearsTotal rip off, be careful!7 yearsDodgy guy with an Asian accent claimed he was calling from the credit investigations team, but when I asked who exactly was calling, he just ended the call. I've blocked the number now.Credit Investigations Department7 yearsGot a call from this number and quickly ended it. Looked it up here and decided to block it straight away.7 yearsI just ignored it.7 yearsBeen getting nonstop calls from loads of 0161 numbers, had to block every single one now.7 yearsNo idea who that was, but the language was awful, swearing like crazy and all that rubbish.7 years01618202476 lucky i seen the reviews here before answering the phone wouldnt have been a good call i guess7 yearsSaw a missed call, decided to look it up here first. Happy I did. Blocked straight away!7 years01618202476 keeps ringing me like once every few days. I just dont pick up anymore. Loads of other 0161 numbers have also been calling so ive gone ahead and blocked every one of them!7 yearsI just dont bother picking up these annoying lot!!!

Now I find myself facing threats of bailiffs knocking at my door!7 yearsGot a call, could hear some noise in the background when I picked up and then they just cut off - after seeing what others have said, I think I’ll just block the number now.7 years01618202476 Just wanted to ask everyone to please report any scam calls like this asap. It only takes a minute and can really help crack down on these awful scammers! I’ve already reported this number, so please do it too!7 yearsHonestly, they should just stop already. So rude, making creepy comments, shouting insults, and throwing names around. They called me, so why isnt it me yelling back at them?!7 yearsJunk call.7 yearsI picked up the call from this number. The bloke started chatting about some debt and claimed he could assist. Straight away I asked how he even got my number since I’m on the TPS, and he just told me to f*** off and hung up. Proper rude tosser!TPS7 yearsTotally a scam, be careful!7 yearsGot a call off someone called 'Gary' claiming he’s from credit investigations about some debts of mine. I was pretty straightforward since I was waiting for an important phone call, but he just kept going on. I asked him if he can actually hear me, and said it again. These people must be so used to just talking over others without caring.Gary7 yearsGot a call from someone saying he was “Kevin” from Citizens Advice, claiming he could sort out my unsecured debts (which I don’t even have!!) and assist with payments. When I asked where he got that wrong info from, he just hung up on me! What a shocker. Instant BLOCKED!KevinCitizens Advice7 yearsAfter seeing what everyone’s saying here, I’ve made up my mind not to block this nasty weirdo. Instead, I’m gonna have a bit of a laugh with him. As a mum of four, people can talk all the rubbish they like, but I’m well tough enough to handle it. But contacting or chatting to a kid like that? Absolutely not on. Fingers crossed he rings back soon, I’m ready for a bit of fun lol!Girl7 yearsThis number keeps ringing me non stop, so I’m about to just block it after reading the reviews here. I don’t really trust those who claim they’re decent folks, anyone can write a positive review like “awesome company sorted my 50k debt and cut it in half” - yeah right, just messing!7 yearsThis number has called me a few times now but never drops a message, definitely seems like some kind of scam!7 yearsGot a call from this number recently but didn’t pick up.

When I told them that wasn’t right, the person just snapped, “So you want the bailiffs then?” I replied, “No way that’s happening,” and they hung up on me saying, “The fuckin phone, you slag.” Absolutely delightful, as you can imagine.Citizen ' s Advice7 yearsGot a call from some debt collection folks looking for my 14 year old lad. Then they said the debt was actually mine. I asked them what my name was and when they realised I knew it was dodgy, the bloke just swore at me and hung up.

He went on about wiping off half my debt and said I owed more than £4,000. I told him my debt isn’t anywhere near that amount and asked how the government could know all that. Felt really fishy to me. Blocked the number straight away.7 yearsGot a call from some guy from India asking for Naomi. Told him he’s got the wrong person and to quit calling me. Then he goes on saying he knows what I want - no commitment, just sex. Said I want to suck him off or something. Honestly, some of these people are just vile and really ought to be blocked for good.IndiaNaomi7 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from the credit investigation department. When I asked which firm he was with, he just let out a sigh and cut me off!7 yearsSome bloke rang me from Manchester, told me I owed money, right? When I asked him to stop calling me, he went on and started saying some proper nasty stuff, like he wanted to mess me about or something. He spoke with an Indian accent too. Bit of a shocking call, honestly.Manchester7 yearsFor years now, I've been getting weekly calls from some debt collectors looking for a Kevin Thornhill. I really have no idea who this guy is and it’s been going on for about six years! Such a pain!Kevin Thornhill7 yearsI’ve just ended the call, but cheers to everyone here - now I’m sure that number’s dodgy!7 yearsThey rang up saying it was about some debts I supposedly owe. I told them I don’t owe a penny. Then they claimed to have checked my credit report or something. I cut them off right away, told them under GDPR, who allowed you to view my info?

Best to just ignore these muppets!FCA7 yearsI keep getting calls from scammers that my phone automatically blocks.

I sincerely hope they take the hint and go after someone a bit more naive than me!7 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from some “credit department” and that I supposedly owe money. When I told them to stop calling me, they said they couldn’t do that. I asked which company they represented, and they said it was the UK Financial Conduct Authority.

Proper dodgy if you ask me.UK Financial Conduct Authority7 yearsI wasnt expecting the call at all, they rang me completely out of nowhere and asked some questions. At first I was a bit on edge, but it turned out they really do represent the Insolvency Practice. I reckon they act like mediators or something. Definitely no scam here - they seem legit. Props to them, trustworthy for sure!7 yearsHad some help from those Money Advice folks - definitely deserves 5 stars from me!Money Advice7 yearsChecked out the comments, then just blocked the number - didn’t bother leaving any message.7 yearsScam calls keep coming, so best thing to do is just block those numbers.
