Phone number ☎️ 01618540132 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance phone number linked to a so-called debt company that repeatedly calls people, often from different numbers. Callers claim recipients owe money, despite many asserting they have no debts, and sometimes become rude or refuse to provide clear company details. Several callers have a strong South Asian accent, and calls often cut off when questioned. Many report silent calls, hang-ups, or prank responses to frustrate the fraudsters. Users express suspicion about how the company got their personal info, warning this is likely a scam or cold call operation ignoring TPS rules. The consensus is to avoid, block, and report this number due to aggressive and misleading tactics.

Honestly, i wouldn’t pick up either. Why would anyone want to deal with a firm that has to catch clients like this?

Phone only rang once before I got to it (I like to mess with them) and then it just stopped. I said my (fake) hearing aid’s battery was dead, they tried to say something but I told them I couldn’t hear a thing, then they just hung up.

Someone rang me and i didnt recognise the number so i ended the call, but they kept ringing back like 3 times right after, asking for me and money i supposedly owe. I don’t owe anything so i just blocked the number.

Got a call from an Asian guy from "Debt Solutions" saying I owed money and they could sort it out. I told him I don't owe anything but he just kept going on and on. I even said I was gonna report the call and he went ahead and spelled out the company name loud and clear! So, does anyone know how I can lodge a complaint against these lot? :-)

Got a call from this number today but didnt really catch my phone ring as I was driving. I blocked it now after seeing all the comments. These numbers always ring at the worst times when you’re tied up.

Ignored a call from this number earlier today and have now blocked it. When will someone sort these callers out, especially since the number looks like it's from a landline?

This number has called me a bunch of times. At first it was just dead silence when I answered, but today (25th Oct 18) a bloke with what sounded like an Indian or Pakistani accent said he was from Debt Solutions and claimed I had a monthly debt to pay. When I asked what debt he meant, he quickly hung up!

Received multiple calls today from this number. I finally picked it up only to find myself speaking with Steve, who sounded like he was from India, representing a debt recovery firm. I ended the conversation abruptly.

Some bloke called Chris from 'Credit Council Bureau' rang me up, and I just hung up straight away. Honestly, what’s the use of being on the TPS if you’re still getting these annoying calls from muppets?

This number keeps ringing me but I never pick up unknown calls. Last night, almost 8pm, they called again. I finally called them back using 141 before the number and got an answerphone saying they'd return my call. After seeing all your comments and many thanks for them, I've decided I still won't be answering this number.

Some bloke kept saying I was paying off unsecured debts. I told him a few times that I don't owe anything, then asked if he actually thought I was daft. Told him to take me off their list and blocked the number!

Got a call from someone saying I owed money on an unsecured debt. Didn’t wanna hear me out when I told them I have no debts and asked how they got my number, then they just cut the call. I’ve had loads of calls from different 0161 numbers, I block every one but they just keep changing the number and calling again. What worries me is they already know my name, so it cant just be a random dialer. Where they found my details is the big question.

Reading these comments makes me really glad I didn’t pick up. I’m gonna block the number now.

Got a call on May Day when most places should be closed. They were asking about all the brands I've got at my home. Feels like they’re trying to figure out how much money I might have. Could be a set-up for a scam or even a break-in.

Picked up and told them to bugger off before slamming the phone down. Then they rang again saying they’d keep messaging me, so I told them I liked their accent and would fancy a cheeky chat, then hung up. They’ve called about 13 times since and I just ignore. Proper fed up with these annoying calls.

This number keeps ringing me, so I picked up and they claimed they were calling to assist with a £17,000 debt I supposedly owe, which I don’t even have. They said they could see it on their records right in front of them. I have no idea where they got this info or who gave it to them, but it’s totally fake and feels dodgy, so I’m a bit concerned now.

I've had my fair share of nuisance calls and reached a point where I thought I'd just pick up this one. After a few button presses, a chap on the other end mentioned me by my first name, which is quite alarming since this line is meant for work! I'm really curious about how they manage to obtain such personal details!
