My daughter, who struggles with learning, kept getting calls from these people even though she doesn’t owe anyone anything. We’ve told them to take her number off their list now. Just waiting to see if they actually do it...

Received a call just as we were about to reach out to a family member named Ian, sharing our surname. The call ended abruptly before we had the chance to inquire who was on the other end and what their intentions were. Quite puzzling!

The company in question goes by the name Link, and they're engaged in the rather questionable practice of debt collection. They've been reaching out to individuals whose debts they have acquired. What’s rather sneaky is how they try to get in touch with these debtors through their neighbours, fabricating stories about parcels or telegrams to catch their attention. They typically uncover addresses through the electoral roll, which reveals the debtor's latest registration or any historical address information given to creditors at the time the credit was obtained.

We received a call at home from individuals claiming to be affiliated with the Post Office. They stated that they wished to forward some correspondence, which had been returned from our university. Oddly enough, they seemed quite familiar with our address. However, I did find it rather strange that they made no mention of any outstanding debts at all. They ultimately left a message with our university, directing us to contact Clare at either 02920 853500 or 02920 808696. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!

They wouldn’t tell us who they were unless we provided our name and postcode. We firmly told them to get lost and ended the call.

I've found this company to be quite dubious, and I reckon some sort of action needs to be taken. Does anyone happen to know which organisation I should contact to report this? I've been getting calls about someone else who lives in my village, and it’s becoming rather tiresome!

Earlier today, at precisely 09:09, we received a call from a woman using the number 02920 853500. She claimed to have a letter intended for a Mr Mark Heron and requested his address. Her inquiry struck us as rather dubious, so we declined to engage in any conversation with her.

We’ve just had a rather peculiar experience ourselves. A letter meant for another person who shares our surname landed in our hands. Initially, we didn’t think much of it and assumed it was just a quirky coincidence. After all, it’s quite strange! So, out of courtesy, we pointed out to them that the person they were inquiring about happens to be a solicitor. However, I highly suspect they won’t be reaching out to us anytime soon.

A gentleman by the name of Mike reached out to us, claiming he needed to relay a message to a family member about a package that had arrived, seeking permission to send it out. However, this was nothing but a fib; it turns out these individuals represent a company that purchases debts and hire folks to call and try to track down the debtor. Quite the ruse, if you ask me!

A lady called to inquire if we were familiar with a chap named Paul, sharing the same last name as mine. She mentioned he’d lost contact and was eager to get back in touch. Pleased to report we couldn’t assist her-suspicious behaviour, if you ask me!

We've been getting persistent calls regarding a debt supposedly incurred under our name, which is quite concerning. We’ve requested several times for them to provide us with a copy of the signed agreement, as we’ve never received any card from the company they’re referencing. However, they keep denying our request, claiming it's a breach of the data protection laws. What are our options in this situation, and what rights do we have?

It seems this number belongs to Link Financial Outsourcing Ltd, a debt recovery firm situated at Unit 1-5, Trecenydd Business Park, Caerphilly, CF83 2RZ, UK. They have a somewhat dubious reputation for masquerading as a parcel delivery service in an effort to track down individuals. If you happen to receive a call from them inquiring about one of your neighbours, the former occupants of your property, or even a relative, it’s a strong indicator that the individual they’re hunting for is reportedly in arrears, at least according to Link’s records. I would highly recommend reaching out to the individual in question and offering to provide a statement to the data protection commissioner’s office, as it seems Link may have engaged in what could be considered an improper disclosure of sensitive information. Moreover, such a revelation regarding someone's financial woes might also contravene the guidelines set forth by the Financial Conduct Authority.

We reside in a flat complex, and recently, a chap appeared at our door asking us to pass on a message to someone along the corridor. He mentioned that she was from Caerphilly and needed help with forwarding some mail. Strangely, he requested that we refrain from knocking on the door while using the phone. It's left us feeling a bit wary, to be honest.

Today I got a call from a guy called Adam asking for my son, who’s just moved out. I told him my son wasn’t around and he said he’d send some info to him here at our house since he apparently already had our address. Weird thing is, our number is ex-directory and yet he managed to get it somehow.

It’s quite shocking to find that someone called our 92-year-old grandfather, asking him to get in touch with a person named Gill from next door. It feels rather sleazy behaviour, and we have a strong suspicion that this breaches the data protection laws!

On August 1st, 2014, I got a call from this firm asking about the last person who lived at my address. They were really cagey about their identity and why they wanted details on the former owner. I’m on the ex-directory and BT Preference, so I’m baffled how they even found my number. I simply told them to contact the Land Registry to verify who owns the property now.

We received a call from this number, but the moment we answered, they hung up on us. It’s not the first time we’ve had calls like this; in fact, we’ve had several before trying to get in touch with our next-door neighbour to see if they’re still residing there. Not quite certain what this particular call is about, but it does make me curious. I do wonder if it’s from the same street! Quite amusing, really!
13 years
I haven't answered any calls from them yet, but I'm wondering if they're trying to reach us or perhaps someone nearby? Do they genuinely get in touch with the actual debtor, or are they just ringing folks who might know them? It's a puzzle we'll likely never unravel now, as we've simply added their number to our block list on the mobile!

I just received a call from someone asking for a Mr D Sampson. The number was 08000859814. When I tried to call back, they simply informed me that they were “having some technical issues.” The name D Sampson doesn’t ring any bells for me, and the message concluded with “I am requested to give you a call,” without clarifying what it was in reference to. Quite strange, isn’t it?

Today I received a bunch of calls from this number. The first was a bloke called Mike who kept pestering me for my address to send mail, even after I said no. I just ended the call. Then another call came through asking for me, but I didn’t say anything and hung up. Later, my mobile rang from the same number but I didn’t pick up. My son also got a call from them saying they had some mail for me and wanted to change the delivery address, so he told them where I live. Honestly, I’m feeling really bothered by this constant hassling. How on earth do they have all this info about me?

Got a call from someone trying to talk to my daughter. Told them this number belongs to me and always has, no clue how they got it. They asked me to verify her address, but when I refused, they started acting rude and aggressive, saying she’s an adult and that I was being too nosy. Really unpleasant experience.

I got a call from someone looking for my cousin, who I haven’t been in contact with for more than four years. No idea how they had my mobile number in the first place! They kept asking for details like her name and address, telling me she’d apparently come into some inheritance. Obviously, I wasn’t about to give anything away. I then checked the number online, like others suggested, and saw it belongs to some company called Link Financial, who seem pretty annoying. On the bright side, this unwanted call did lead me to reconnect with my cousin, so it wasn’t all bad!

Someone called me from Link today after I didn’t pick up yesterday. He kept asking about someone I hadn’t been in touch with for about two years, wanting their phone number and address. After the call, it clicked that my current mobile number couldn’t possibly be connected to the person they were after since I’d changed my number a while ago. Still, the call was useful because I ended up looking up the number right afterwards.

So, this firm called Link are basically a debt collection agency that buys debts and then chases people for the money. Whats worse is they dont just call the person who owes them, they’ll ring up the neighbours saying there’s a parcel or a message for the person they want. They find addresses by checking the electoral roll or info given to the lender when the loan was taken out, which is pretty sneaky if you ask me.

So, I got a call from some bloke named Mike who claimed he had a package for a family member and wanted me to pass on a message so he could send it. Turns out, it was total nonsense. These folks are actually a firm that buys debts and hire people to call around trying to track down people. Proper dodgy if you ask me.
