Got the same text about seven times in just a few seconds and I’ve never owed a penny to anyone. It said something like Dukes Bailiffs are coming to collect and that I need to ring 01785 825 500 to stop them from visiting and adding more charges. Feels totally like a con to me.

Got a call from Dukes Bailiffs saying my stuff might get taken away this weekend. They warned me to ring them at 01785 825 500 if I want to stop anything being taken. Pretty stressed about it all.

Got about 5 letters from Dukes Bailiffs saying I owe a bit over £4000 for council tax from like 14 years ago. I called the number on the letters, and they just wanted the full amount or a six month payment plan. Didn’t really care about my financial situation or if I could actually pay that. They kept pushing for money straight away to move forward. No way I gave them a penny. Total scam if you ask me.

I've been getting texts again about owing council tax money, but I don't owe anything at all. Seems like one of those scams circling around.

Got a text saying to ring them or else Dukes Bailiffs will take action. Didn’t mention any debt or give personal info, and I checked my credit file - no CCJ’s there. Definitely a con.

This is a total scam! I got a call on my work mobile, which isn’t connected to any of my addresses, about supposedly owing council tax. I’m certain there’s no way I have any unpaid bills like that.

Got a call from 01785 825500 supposedly about debts I didn't even owe and no CCJ against me. They kept pushing for payment and even dropped me a text and email. Just a heads up, don’t get tricked into paying them before double checking with Citizens Advice and getting your credit check done - better safe than sorry with these scams.

They said something about the dukes bailefs, so I asked what it was regarding. Then they wanted me to confirm my address, but I told them no way, could be a scam for all I know. Ended up not getting anywhere, so I hung up and blocked the number.

Someone called saying something like 'dukes bailefs' and when I asked what it was about, they wanted to verify my address. I told them I wasn’t sharing any details as it seemed dodgy, so we were at a standstill. I just hung up and blocked the number straight away.

I got a call from Dukes bailiffs, but it was just a robotic voice reciting a massive reference number then my full name. Oddly enough, I got an email a few minutes before the call, but it didn’t mention what the debt was about or who I supposedly owed money to. The email looked very dodgy, with strange fonts and a weird layout, so it definitely seemed like a scam to me. Watch out, this feels like a well-crafted scam pretending to be a legitimate company.

Got a few texts telling me I’m behind on council tax but that’s not right at all.

They keep ringing me up again, and I’m honestly not sure if they’re on the level or just messing about. I already sorted a payment for what I owe, and it’s not even due to be paid yet for another week. Despite that, they’ve bombarded me with calls, texts, and emails while I’m trying to work. Proper pushy and annoying, all of them.

I keep getting texts from Duke bailiffs but each message talks about a different issue. The first one was about setting up a payment plan, but they never said what I supposedly owe. Then, four months down the line, they said my debt is going to attachment of earnings or bankruptcy. Another four months pass, and now they're saying a notice of enforcement has been sent. I’ve never had any letters through the post about bailiffs or debts, so this has got to be a complete scam!

I didn't receive any calls from this number, nor have any of my acquaintances on this day. Instead, all I got was a message claiming I owe some council tax, which is absolutely untrue. I didn’t bother to ring them back, as it seems like an obvious scam. I came across a story about a woman who did call, and they were fishing for her personal details. It strikes me that these scammers are attempting to swindle the £150 that the council recently allocated to taxpayers.

I highly doubt that any legitimate office would simply drop a message claiming you're in debt. It seems quite clear to me that these are just scammers attempting to instill fear in individuals.

Got a message saying I owed council tax money, but that's totally not right. Never missed a payment or anything. Feels like some kind of mistake or maybe even a scam. Just thought I’d share in case anyone else gets the same dodgy text.

Dukes Bailiffs is a complete con, pretending to be a legit company with fake debts like council tax and rent. I paid for the whole year and it turned out to be a total rip-off. Seriously, stay clear of them! Don’t pick up their calls or give them a ring. Absolute scam, best to avoid altogether.

Got a letter from bailiffs claiming I owe £72 to Staffordshire Moorlands DC for some Kickstart loan? They’re threatening to take action and want me to ring 01785 825500. I honestly have no idea what this Kickstart loan is about. I’m going to contact Staffordshire Moorlands District Council first thing tomorrow to sort this out.

I’m rather concerned as someone has reached out to my daughter on her mobile, and she has autism. I’m baffled as to how they managed to obtain her number.

honestly they call every single day asking for some louise townsend, whoever that might be. ive stopped picking up now as its getting ridiculous. loads of missed calls while i was out too. used to let the answerphone pick it up but shut it off now because they just keep leaving silly messages, so no more calls are getting through from them. what a pain!

I got a call from this number earlier today. Upon looking into it, it seems to belong to a debt collection agency. It’s rather puzzling since we don't owe any money. I'm left wondering how they managed to obtain our landline number, especially considering we've never shared it with anyone and we're not listed in the directory. Quite the mystery, don't you think?

Received a call earlier, and it was an automated voice. Oddly enough, it had my name. It instructed me to "press one to discuss your account." The only folks I've shared this number with are the DWP. This caller definitely wasn't them, so it appears they've either passed my number along or sold it to some outside party. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!
