03003034570 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 03003034570 👆 is reported as a controversial organisation targeting mainly elderly individuals with calls about possible council tax banding errors, urging payment of an upfront administrative fee. While some claimants have received refunds and praise the service's helpfulness and clarity, many assert it exploits vulnerable people, charging fees for a process that can be undertaken independently and free of charge via official channels. Concerns include aggressive sales tactics, unsolicited calls despite do-not-call registrations, requests for bank details, and misleading claims of guaranteed refunds. Authorities and council tax officers warn that these practices border on scams, urging caution and recommending direct contact with local councils or valuation offices to verify council tax bands without incurring fees. Newcomers should be vigilant, especially when approached unexpectedly or asked for payment or sensitive information.

9 yearsThis company has been pushing products onto my elderly gran for over half a year now, and it seems like they've been sharing her info with other dodgy firms too. She ended up with a direct debit for some kind of cover she doesn't understand, but the sales lot talked so smooth and acted like they knew her, so she believed them without thinking. Now she’s out of pocket by hundreds. Just don’t answer or hang up straight away! It’s a total scam!9 yearsAbout a week ago I got a call from this firm and after seeing all the comments here, I got a bit anxious. I spoke to a really nice lady named Charlotte who told me I'd receive all the paperwork first and if I wasn’t happy, I could just back out. The documents showed up within a week and honestly, I can’t see how they’re a scam? They’ve been so helpful right from the start! I don’t want to deal with it all on my own, so I’m glad they’re taking care of things. Maybe people should try getting in touch before jumping to call it a scam?Charlotte9 yearsDonna rang me earlier today about some council reading but when I phoned the council, they knew nothing about it.Donna9 yearsGot a ring from a lady who said her name was Sam, telling me there was a mistake with my Council Tax Band and that I needed to pay an £80 admin charge for them to check it out properly. She wanted my bank info but I was like nope, that’s enough, and ended the call. It’s obviously a dodgy scam, don’t fall for it.Sam9 yearsGot a call about council tax band for my old aunt, sounded dodgy right away. Total scam warning!9 yearsThe police have issued a warning about this business, so steer clear no matter what.9 yearsI work at the council tax office locally. Honestly, what this company does is allowed by law. But there’s no real promise the property’s band will get changed (it’s pretty unlikely). And if nothing changes, these firms usually hang on to the fees. Plus, homeowners have the option to request a band change on their own for free.10 yearsJust want to say I don’t think it’s right to call this place a scam. I chatted with a woman there about council tax stuff. I’m still waiting on my refund but they were pretty helpful, gave me a phone number and an address too.10 yearsGot a call earlier claiming my council tax band was too high. They asked for my card info so they could charge a £65 admin fee. Sounded dodgy to me!10 yearsBack in January, my 91 year old mum got a call and might have shared her bank details even tho she can't recall doin it. Shore Claims ended up takin £65 from her account, even though she never sent back the form they said was needed for council tax checks. Fingers crossed the bank can get the cash back.Shore Claims10 yearsCheck out all those green comments raving about how great they are. Why would people randomly start praising them here? Seems pretty obvious those green ones are from folks working for that company. Funny how loads of the red comments mention they mainly go after older people since they’re an easy target. Why bother hiring anyone else to check your council tax band when you can do it yourself at no cost?10 yearsReally pleased since I got my money back and they also reduced my banding, so pretty chuffed about that. I’m honestly baffled why this is called a scam? Thanks once more, I’ll be giving my neighbour’s details to you soon.10 yearsGot a call from Shore Claims saying I might be owed money back on my council tax 'cause of overpayment. Their number was 03003034470. They asked for £65 as some sort of admin fee. Told me right away it sounded dodgy, so I rang my bank straight off. Definitely a scam.Shore Claims10 yearsI called 0300 303 4570 (Shore Claims) to check on my council tax band, hoping for a reduction, but it turned out my band was actually correct. I wasn’t sure if it was right until they looked into it, and now I’m relieved knowing I’ve been paying the proper amount since 1993. They sent me all the paperwork, so if they weren’t legit, I doubt they’d have these documents or even got in touch. Just because your band doesn’t get lowered, doesn’t mean it’s a scam - it can simply mean you’re paying what you should, which they made clear when I spoke to Shore Claims.Shore Claims10 yearsThese folks are proper sc@mmers! Taking advantage of elderly people like that. I’m definitely gonna report them to the cops.10 yearshad a ring from this firm earlier, looked them up and thought i’d give them a bell back and give it a go. might as well see if i can recover something since i doubt i’d manage it on my own. bit unfair they get a bad rap when the council won’t help us out.10 yearsShore Claims rang my 90 year old mum, telling her she was overpaying council tax and could claim some back. As she’s on pension credit, she shouldn’t pay any council tax, but she seemed a bit confused and probably gave them her card details. She said they came across as "very official". Her latest bank statement shows £65 paid to Shore Claims. She’s already been to the bank to report it. It’s awful that these companies target older people like this. Who’s best to report this to?Shore Claims10 yearsI got a call from Samantha and thought I’d give it a shot. After hanging up, I rang the Ministry of Justice who said they don’t back that kind of company. So, I rang the company back to cancel the payment and anything else linked with it. They emailed me right away to confirm the cancellation.SamanthaMinistry of Justice10 yearsGot a call from Donna at Shore Claims, the number showed 03003034570. She was really courteous and tried to help me out. Mentioned that I MIGHT be in the wrong band. She made everything about the payment pretty clear. I’ve since got all my documents and am just waiting for a reply now. I get why folks are suspicious, but if it was a scam, wouldn't they just run off with the cash and not share their contact info? I’m pretty pleased with how they handled things and gave them a ring again just to confirm who they were.DonnaShore Claims10 yearsGot a call from someone named Donna, she seemed to think I was my dad (who owns the place) and started banging on about some council tax rebate. She didn’t push for bank info or anything, just said he’d ring back. Yeah, no chance of that!Donna10 yearsYeh, Claims is definitely a total rip-off.Claims10 yearsMy 91 year old mate got a call from this firm claiming she could get a refund on her council tax band and just needed to pay a £65 admin fee. I phoned the council and they warned me it’s a scam, saying loads of people have been targeted like this. They said she can always ring the valuations office for free to check if her banding is correct.10 yearsGot a call from Donna earlier, sounded quite convincing and was talking about some refund, same thing happened just before Christmas with someone called Drew! Both were asking for £65, I told them I’d need to look into it first. I’m definitely not chasing it up, seems like a total scam to me. The number they used was 03003034570.DonnaDrew10 yearsI’m in the council tax office here in Surrey and just spoke to an elderly guy who wanted to know if he’d get a refund for a rebanded property. He said he gave his bank details to a friendly bloke claiming to be from Sure Claims, with a number 0300 030 4570. I told him straight away it’s a scam and advised him to get in touch with his bank asap.SurreySure Claims10 yearsJust a heads up, I work as a council tax officer (yes, my bad luck). If you want, you can ask the Valuation Office directly to check your band for free. Just visit Gov.uk and look it up.Gov. uk10 yearsThis morning my 91 year old father in law got a call from someone called ‘Drew’ claiming to be from the Walsall Council Tax Office. He said that his property might be reclassified and he could qualify for a £400 cut on his council tax. But before they could do anything, they asked for a £65 admin charge. Please warn your elderly family members about this trick. If they want to check anything about their property, they should ring the Walsall Council Tax Office themselves - they definitely won’t be making random calls like this!DrewWalsall Council Tax Office10 yearsYesterday afternoon, an elderly mate of mine, 79 years old, got a call claiming he was owed a refund on Council Tax but had to pay £60 first. The woman said her name was Eleanor from Shore Claim and gave the number 0300 303 4576. Luckily, he’s quite suspicious and refused to hand over any card information she wanted. Since he’s not very tech-savvy, he asked me to look into it. Seems these scammers are preying on older folks. Better to steer clear and don’t pay a penny - it’s definitely a con.EleanorShore Claim10 yearsA woman named Michelle Valler rang my dad a bit over a week ago, so I looked up the firm on Companies House and it seems to be legit.Michelle VallerCompanies House10 yearsComplete rip off. My mam, who’s 80, feels proper silly for getting caught out. Lost £65, but a hard lesson learnt.10 yearsGot a call from Michelle at Shore Valuations asking my elderly mum for bank info. She claimed we owed £68 to clear up council tax overpayments, saying it’s not called Council Tax anymore but it’s switched back to those old ‘rates’. Sounded fishy to me!Michelle10 yearsGot a call from these guys and they asked for my card info to cover some admin fee. They charged £65 and shared all their info with me. Then about a week later, they rang back with the good news that I’m gonna get a discount on my council tax band. So definitely NOT a scam like some folks claim!10 yearsMy mum handed over her bank card info for something that should have been free. Got charged £65 admin fee for nothing. Definitely a scam. I'm reporting it to trading standards and the bank straight away.10 yearsSome lady named Sarah phoned me saying there was a mix-up with my council tax band. She asked for £65 straight away to look into it. Seemed quite friendly but it’s definitely a con.Sarah10 yearsWe got a phone call from a woman called Sarah who said it was about our council tax band being wrong. She asked for 65 quid upfront to carry out a check. She sounded pretty convincing, but it was definitely a credit card scam. Don’t fall for it!Sarah10 yearsMy mum, who's quite old, got a phone call from someone named Chis Gates claiming to be from Shaw Valuation. He tried to ask for her bank info, but she wisely said no.Chis GatesShaw Valuation10 yearsGot a call from someone last night claiming to be Chris Gates from 'Sure Valuation'. Used the same phone number listed here. They asked for £65 and my bank info. Seriously, don’t hand over any details to these sorts, it’s dodgy!Chris Gates10 yearsSomeone just called trying to get my 84 year old mother in law to give her card details. Luckily she saw through it and didn’t fall for it. These scammers really ought to be tracked down and made to face the law.10 yearsGot on the phone with my old neighbours and somehow got the man to give his card info - turns out they've already ripped off £65. Absolute scumbags, targeting the old folks like that.10 yearsAbsolute scam!!! They rang my 90 year old dad, trying to trick him into giving his bank info by saying he’d get a council tax refund. Luckily, he was smart enough to say no when they asked for his details and just ended the call. Watch out for these lot!10 yearsAbout two months ago I made a claim with this firm and today they called to say they’d succeeded in getting our band reduced, which is legit as the valuation office confirmed it. Now I’m just waiting on a refund statement from the council to see how much money we’ll get back. Me and my husband are really excited about planning a lovely holiday this year! Definitely not a scam. Big thanks to Shore Valuations!10 yearsThey also phoned my 86 year old mum who has dementia. Thankfully she seemed ok today and didn’t share any of her bank details. Does anyone know who we should report this to?10 yearsThese nasty scammers targeting our elderly parents in their 80s is just awful. Thankfully, my dad was wise enough not to share his card details with them.10 yearsThe firm that was once called claimers uk is now going by shore claims. They got featured in the local news as scammers. Loads of folks have been attempting to get in touch with them.Claimers UKShore Claims10 yearsMy 86-year-old grandad, who has dementia, got a call about paying £68 to get a council tax rebate sorted. They said they were from some place called Shore Claims. Luckily, he only noted the number and didn't go any further. Watch out, this sounds like a scam!Shore Claims10 yearsmy dad who is 88 got a call saying his council tax band was incorrect and if he paid a fee on the phone they would fix it. total scam!10 yearsI think I might have been overcharged by the council tax, reckon they might owe me some cash back or summat.10 yearsYep, total scam. They rang my dad yesterday, saying he needed to pay £68 upfront to verify some council tax rebate as part of a government scheme. He told them to send the details in the post so he could have a proper look before handing over any money, but they said they couldn’t. How is it even possible that a genuine company wouldn’t be able to send info by post? Plus, like others have said, when you try calling them back, no one picks up.10 yearsMy dad just got a call claiming he was due a big refund on his council tax and they asked for his full card number. Thankfully, he didn’t have his card with him - he’s 88 years old. I had to sit down and tell him never to share his card info, cos no one legit would ask for the full card number unless they meant to take money. It’s quite worrying. I tried ringing the number back but it just kept ringing and never answered.10 yearsLoads of elderly folks have been getting calls from scammers, asking for cash they'll never see again, these people have no intention of giving anything back.10 yearsJust like this, called my 80 year old mum asking for £65 to sort out a council tax refund.10 yearsTotal scammers, no doubt about it.10 yearstotal scam, rang my mum who has dementia and managed to get £65 off her on the phone. pretended they were connected to council tax. absolute con.10 yearsGot a call from this firm sayin i owed £65 for sorting an overpayment on council tax. The person sounded real pushy n eager but somethin felt off so i looked into it. Turns out its a scam! There's a company with a similar name registered, but theyre at a different address. Definitely not the same one. Proper sneaky scam this.10 yearsGot a dodgy call where some scammer pretended to be from the council and was asking my 79 year old mum for her credit card details. Proper nasty, needs sorting quick.10 yearsSomeone rang up my elderly folks about a council tax refund they were meant to get and ended up getting their bank info over the phone!10 yearsGot a call that tricked my 84 year old grandma into believing it was the council.
