4 yearsHad a quick look at the 'green' comments here and just a heads up before you post anything! If you’re being told you owe money but you’re sure you don’t, contact the person or company making the claim. It might just be an error or worst case, your identity’s been used without you knowing. Either way, get it sorted. Now, if you genuinely owe cash, then pay it, but only to the right folks. Don’t hand over anything to these con artists!GANDER4 yearsI've gotten this text twice now and have already reported it to my phone company. The initial time was on the 7th of November, and then again on the 14th.5 yearsI keep gettin texts from this number, they even called me by the first letter of my first name and my full last name, telling me to ring them back with some reference number. I'm pretty sure I don't owe anyone any money, at least not to my knowledge.5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were collecting debt for SSE, but I left SSE last year and they confirmed I owe nothing. It's worrying how they managed to get my details. Anyone else had this?SSE5 yearsI can’t believe how dodgy these people are, sending threatening texts and emails about owing SSE £16.32. I’m totally denying it, and even SSE say there’s no debt or missed payments on my account. It seems like SSE passed on my info to them by mistake, but honestly, unleashing that kinda pressure on someone is just unacceptable. If you get those messages warning you about “mutual benefit” calls, be careful - they’re definitely not ringing for any good reason.BlimeySSE5 yearsI keep getting loads of messages and emails from some firm named Avertofs, saying I must ring them ASAP on that number. I’ve just been ignoring it all. If it’s about SSE, I did cancel my boiler and electric cover recently, stopped the direct debits as well. Then SSE sent me a letter claiming I still owe money, so I phoned them and sorted it with a direct debit payment. So why is this company still chasing me like mad? Doesn’t make sense at all.AvertofsSSE5 yearsAt first, I got a couple of texts and emails and thought it must be a scam. Turns out the number actually is real and is linked to Arvato Financial Services. Apparently, SSE hired Arvato to chase a debt they reckon I owe, even though I’d already cancelled that service. I’m now sorting things out with SSE by using their complaints system. My advice? Don’t just ignore messages from Arvato, or you might end up with a CCJ. The main problem is SSE skipping the step of contacting me directly and instead going straight to a debt collection agency, which does make it look like a scam.Arvato Financial ServicesSSEArvatoCounty CourtDebt Collection Agency6 yearsGot a text and an email about some urgent info that I had to check on this link, but it was for my mum who’s been gone for OVER two years! The message mentioned ATARVO and RISE, and told me to call 03445714269. Proper dodgy if you ask me.ATARVORISE6 yearsI told my 85-year-old mum to urgently get in touch with them, but it's actually a scam. She’s got no debts or anything to do with money problems.6 yearsI can confirm these guys are real, SSE actually gave them my info. Back in December, SSE had some kind of glitch and missed a payment from me - but I wasn’t aware of it at the time. Then, in February, without any warning, they handed me over to Arvato (some debt collectors) for just £14.40! Only a few days after that, I got a letter from SSE saying they hadn’t taken the payment. I rang them straight away and paid up. Not once did they mention they’d passed my account to Arvato or bother to inform Arvato that I’d paid. Absolutely shocking customer care from SSE.SSEArvato6 yearsGot a text and email demanding I call straight away. They even got my name wrong, which was a big red flag. I've marked the email as spam and definitely won’t be getting in touch with Arvato.JunkArvato6 yearsI’ve been getting calls, texts, and even emails all day from some debt collectors claiming I owe SSE money. I rang SSE myself since my account’s been closed for over a year now. They told me I owe £18.90, which is laughable considering we switched our boiler cover away ages ago. They said they sent a letter back in April 2019, but I never received anything. I just paid it to get it over with and said I’d inform Avarto about it. If you’ve ever dealt with SSE bills, I’d check with them first. We left them because they were hopeless, and this whole mess just proves it.SSEAvarto6 yearsGot a couple of texts earlier sayin they had some urgent info for me, told me to ring 0344 571 4269 or check a "secure" link - yeah, right! They also said I could just text AFSSTOP to 88440 if I wanted to opt out. Suspicious if you ask me.6 yearsGot three emails so far, all with different reference numbers, saying the same thing - get in touch with them ASAP. I looked them up and it seems like they’re some sort of financial company, or at least that's what their site suggests. I’ve never had any business with them before, and I’ve no plans to either. The number they keep ringing from is 0344 571 4269.Google6 yearsReceived a message and email from these lot today, don’t know who they are at all. Definitely won’t be replying or getting in touch with them.6 yearsI just received an email at my work inbox saying it was really urgent and asking me to give them a ring!6 yearsGot some messages and emails from a company called Arvato, telling me to call 03445714269 straight away. I’ve never come across them before and have no idea why they’d be trying to get in touch. Feels like someone’s pretending to be that firm. I’m blocking anything with Arvato for sure - looks like a total scam to me.Arvato6 yearsGot a text saying it was a crucial message for "my wife’s name" with some kind of reference number to call back. Sounded dodgy to me, so I’m not bothering to ring them. Definitely a scam, I reckon.6 yearsGot a couple of messages off this number. The second one included a link to some letter claiming we owed SSE money. Rang SSE and they said they do use a company called arvato for chasing debts, and mentioned there was an unpaid bill from two years back for boiler cover. Told them it seemed a bit dodgy and we almost dismissed it, they said they'd look into it. Seems like arvato are legit debt collectors. In the end, we paid SSE directly instead of going through arvato.SSE6 yearsTwo different texts popped up on my phone, each with a unique reference number telling me to get in touch. I have absolutely no clue who these people are or what they want from me.6 yearsGot a couple of texts asking me to urgently get in touch with some company called Arvato, which I've never come across before and have no connection with. Both messages had different reference codes, but they came from the same number: 0344 571 4269 and afsstop 88440. It all felt a bit dodgy, so I've decided not to reply or ring them back!Arvato6 yearsGot a message from some number telling me to ring them back, felt a bit dodgy like one of those scams.6 yearsJust got a text from a number saying I need to call them back right away. No clue who they are or what company they’re talking about.6 yearsGot a call that rang about 3 or 4 times then just cut off. No voicemail left or anything. Straight to block list from me.6 yearsI didn’t pick up, as I don’t recognise the number and usually just ignore calls from strangers. They didn’t bother to leave any message either.6 yearsArvato? Never come across that name before, and now they're saying they need to talk to me right away... Not buying it at all!ArvatoSubmit Your Own Report (0344 571 4269)
