Phone number ☎️ 01618745301 👆 is reported as a legitimate debt management company acting on behalf of UK utility providers to settle outstanding accounts for deceased individuals' estates. They frequently contact executors or related parties, sometimes persistently, which can be distressing especially soon after a bereavement. The calls often involve verification questions and requests to confirm handling of probate matters. While some find the company considerate and professional, others report intrusive or repeated calls, occasionally to wrong numbers, causing frustration. Callers advise informing them promptly if contacted in error. Blocking the number offers limited relief as calls sometimes continue. Overall, Philips & Cohen are seen as a necessary but sometimes unwelcome part of managing utility accounts after death, warranting clear communication and patience during difficult times.

7 yearsphillips & cohen keep calling my phone every single week and always leave voicemails, even tho i’ve blocked their number. it’s so annoying!PhillipsCohen7 yearsthey ring daily from either an 0161 number or 03335555101 about a small utility bill that’s already been sorted with npower. when someone passes away, these energy firms seem to offload debts to nasty companies like this lot, without letting them know the account’s already been cleared. makes you think how much cash these gas and electric companies rake in off grieving families, charging twice - once from the estate and then by flogging the ‘debt’. i reckon it’s about time to reach out to the ombudsman over this!8 yearsThey rang my wife while we was off on a ski holiday. I looked them up and looks like they’re those coffin chasers going after debts that dead people owed to utility firms. Would be better if they waited until someone actually died instead of bothering my wife like this.9 yearsI received a call regarding the unpaid estimated bill linked to my late father's account with Eon, which is already registered under the executors' names. I mentioned I could take meter readings and settle any remaining balance, but they insisted on postponing the account payments until the property was sold, despite my willingness to pay immediately. They insisted that to place the account on hold, which I had no intention of doing, I had to answer a series of questions. The very first query was whether my deceased father had any stocks, shares, or bonds. At that point, I expressed my confusion over how that was relevant and made it clear I wasn’t going to engage with any further inquiries. If this is indeed a legitimate company, I can only surmise they're operating on some sort of commission basis.Eon9 yearsPhillips & Cohen Associates (UK) ltd, yeah they deal with British Gas stuff for late estates and executors. The letter I got had the contact number 03335551051 (they said no other number’s valid), but I actually got a call from 01618745301 instead.Phillips & Cohen AssociatesUKLtdBritish Gas9 yearsfinally figured out who’s been ringing me, got a letter in the post as well. legit outfit called phillips & cohen, they handle probate stuff for british gas payments.Phillips & CohenBritish Gas9 yearsGot a call on my landline from someone asking for a person I’ve never heard of, then not long after, my mobile rings with the same query! No clue how they ended up with both my numbers, found it really odd!9 yearsThey ring me daily about some estate for a james pearson, not a clue who that even is. I've told them this a few times already, just waiting to see if they keep trying.James Pearson9 yearsphilips & cohen are a company that gets in touch for utility firms about customers who have passed away. from my experience, the folks i spoke to were pretty nice and helpful, which was a relief.Philips & Cohen10 yearsThis firm handles the utility bills for those who have passed away. Really thoughtful, especially during such a tough time, as they give enough time for wills and probate to be sorted before settling the bills. You just need to keep them updated now and then. Much better experience than the big companies. I'm honestly happy with every interaction I've had with them.10 yearsdidnt answer the call10 yearsIt would be wise to have a word with them about the mix-up regarding the phone number. They represent Phillips & Co solicitors, who specifically handle unresolved Eon Energy accounts for individuals who have sadly passed away. The main aim is to monitor the Probate proceedings and understand when those accounts will be finalised. If, by chance, they’ve actually reached the correct number and you happen to be the Executor, then there’s no hassle. However, if it turns out to be an error, do point it out to them!Phillips & CoEon Energy10 yearsI receive calls almost every day-this has been happening for the entirety of the year. They keep asking for someone who is supposedly handling the estate of one Artur Foxton, who has passed away. I've heard from others that it's a potential scam, so I’m hesitant to pick up. Does anyone have any advice on how to put an end to these persistent calls?Artur Foxton10 yearsI must say, I was pleasantly surprised by this outfit. They reached out to me and, having initially suspected it was just another annoying cold call, I decided to investigate the number online. Lo and behold, it turned out they were handling the outstanding utility bills related to my late mother’s estate. Their approach was both courteous and professional, and they’ve assured me they’re happy to hold off until probate is sorted out. Quite commendable, really!10 yearsI've been receiving calls every few days regarding the estate of someone named Arthur Foxton. This has been happening for the whole year. I've heard from others that I should just ignore them, as it’s likely a scam. I’ve blocked the number, but they still leave messages that fill up my voicemail, which is quite bothersome and makes it difficult to see who’s genuinely trying to get in touch with me.Arthur Foxton10 yearsphilips and cohen, they’ve always been really polite whenever they call me.PhilipsCohen10 yearsLike others have mentioned, these people are even more annoying than debt collectors. When you’re grieving a loved one, the last thing you need is these pests ringing non-stop every hour, hassling you to pay off an account that’s barely a month old. Such a horrible experience.10 yearsthis is philips & cohen, a real company that handles the estates of the deceased, mostly dealing with stuff like gas & electric bills. they got in touch with the estate executors (like in my situation) to wrap up the final payments for the home.Philips & Cohen10 yearsGot two calls from Philips & Cohen, both times they wanted to talk to someone handling estates. First was about the late Mr Roger Bird on 10/03/16, then another on 29/02/16 for another person’s estate, but I didn’t catch the name. No idea how they got hold of my number or why they think I’m involved with any estates of deceased people. If they call again, I’m definitely marking it as harassment!PhilipsCohenRoger Bird11 yearsPhillips & Cohen Associates were the ones SSE got in touch with about handling accounts linked to an estate after someone’s passed away.Phillips & Cohen AssociatesSSE11 yearsI've been receiving calls from this number, and I haven't a clue who they are. They mention they're from Phillips Associates, but it all seems rather fishy to me.Phillips Associates11 yearsi tried calling a few times but didn’t pick up as i didn’t recognise the number.11 yearsThis number pesters me incessantly throughout the day and merely utters 'goodbye' before hanging up. I really need these calls to end!11 yearsrang me a couple of times, but left nowt on the answerphoneSubmit Your Own Report (0161 874 5301)
