Always be cautious providing personal information over the phone.
Reports on phone number 03447987016
7 monthsCabot Financial tend to purchase old debts that have often passed the statute of limitations. This means neither they nor the original lender can legally pursue you through the courts anymore. They’re permitted to get in touch, but there’s a strict limit to what they can do. Taking court action or forcing you to pay is off the table. Essentially, all they’ve got is your details and the chance that you might not be aware of your legal protections. So if they keep hounding you, don’t hesitate to tell them to find a proper profession.Cabot Financial9 monthsSpam calls, definitely ignore them. It's just a robot on the line.Spam10 monthsThey ring me every single day, sometimes right at 8 in the morning. I don’t say anything cause I can’t hear any sound from their end, then they just hang up after about 20 seconds. When I block them, they come back the next day using a number that’s almost the same but with one number a bit different. Proper nuisances!11 monthsI didn’t pick up because I have no idea who this number is.11 monthsThey call me almost daily, often more than once a day. I've told them to quit, but they just keep ringing even though it’s not meant for me. I’m just gonna block this one too since they don’t seem to care about stopping.12 monthsKeeps ringing me about a debt I've never had. No letters sent either, just this annoying call every single day.1 yearI got a recorded message saying something like "Confidential call from Cabinet Financial."Cabinet Financial1 yearDebt collectors keep ringing me non stop, even though they have the wrong details, and this kind of harassment should defo be banned. Ive blocked their number loads of times but they just call from a new one. It’s crazy how they’re allowed to keep switching phone numbers like that, absolute nightmare!1 yearDefinitely no scam, just debt collectors calling.1 yearThis number won't leave me alone! It’s clearly a scam, spamming me with robotic messages all the time. Even though I've blocked it, I'm still getting voicemails nearly every day. So annoying!1 yearI keep getting calls from spammers who just carry on even when you don’t pick up. Best thing is to just let it ring out and not answer at all.1 yearGot a call from Cabot debt collectors about a debt I supposedly owe to a bank I've never dealt with. They had the right phone number but every other detail was completely off. Quite frustrating!Cabot1 yearIt’s so annoying getting calls non stop from loads of different numbers.2 yearsGot a call from a debt collector. They seem real enough, but honestly, you don’t have to chat with them or share any details over the phone if you don’t feel like it.2 yearsWatch out, these people are total scammers!2 yearsBeen getting constant calls from them even though I retired over a decade ago and don’t owe a single penny. It’s really annoying!2 yearsI got a call from something like Canon Financial, or maybe it was Cannon? Anyway, it was some dodgy finance debt scam, just another annoying call. Properly frustrating stuff.CanonCannon2 yearsSo Cabot Finance is after me for some debt they bought from Barclays. Thing is, I've never had a deal with Cabot, so honestly, they can do one. I’m sticking to paying £10 every month like I agreed with Barclays. As long as I keep paying and don’t miss anything, there’s nothing they can really do. Blocked their number straight away.Cabot FinanceBarclays2 yearsCABOT!!!!! If this number rings you, have a look back through the earlier comments on here before ignoring it. Don’t just brush it off. If you have debts, get on top of them and arrange how to pay properly. Avoid paying these dodgy folks! Sort your debts with the actual creditor. Even if you’re all clear on money, you should still investigate. Got a recent phone number? It might be recycled from someone who owed money before. Also, think about whether your ID’s been stolen - definitely worth looking into.2 yearsIf it was a legit debt, surely they'd at least leave a voicemail or something, right? Seems dodgy to me.2 yearsI keep getting calls from Cabot Financial on my landline, they leave a voicemail then I just clear it straight away. It's really annoying that they keep pestering me for no clear reason. I have no idea how to block them though because it’s a landline. My number’s ex-directory and I've had it for yonks, so how on earth did they get hold of it? They really should be checked out by some official body and stopped from carrying on like this.Cabot Financial2 yearsGot calls from people pretending to be from some debt collection agency - total scam!2 yearsGot a call today and it came up as spam on my phone.2 yearsThis number kept ringing me non stop, so I ended up blocking all the different ones it called from.2 yearsNo doubt about it, this was a debt collector calling.2 yearsThese Cabot people keep ringing me about a debt they supposedly bought, but it’s all rubbish. I’ve told them loads of times to prove they’re legit, but they just don’t show any proof. Instead, they keep pestering me to call some other number. Total pain!Cabot2 yearsCabot Financial? Never heard good things, sounds like a total scam to me. Wouldn’t trust them at all.Cabot Financial2 yearsGot a call early today around 8:30 from a bloke with an Asian accent. He wanted to talk to someone named 'Chan'. I just ended the call straight away.Chan2 yearsThey keep ringing even though they’re on the TPS list.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsIt’s really about time someone put a stop to these scammers, they’re so pushy and scary especially for people who might be more vulnerable. Honestly, they’re nothing but pests and should be caught for good.2 yearsFor the last week, this number has been blowing up my phone with calls daily, and now they’ve started sending texts asking to contact someone who isn’t me. I rang the real company using the phone number from their website today, and they said my number isn’t in their database at all. Looks like a total scam to me, so I’ve blocked them, but annoying voicemails still keep coming through. When I spoke to Cabot Financial, they said they’re not aware of any fraud like this and honestly didn’t seem too concerned about it either.Cabot Financial2 yearsI’ve been getting calls from Cabot Financial, claiming I owe money but I don’t have any debts with them. I only got this phone number in December, so I’m not sure why they keep ringing me. They've dropped about 9 voicemails since last week and it’s really starting to annoy me. Luckily, I’ve blocked the number now, so fingers crossed they stop bothering me.Cabot Financial2 yearsThe voicemail said it was Cabot Financial, but my lawyer got in touch with them and told them to back off as he’s handling my debt repayments. They supposedly said sorry and promised to stop calling, but I still got another call this morning. He only spoke with them yesterday! Plus, they’re contradicting themselves - I’ve been making payments all year, but now they’re saying I haven’t paid a single penny. Honestly, I don’t trust them one bit!Cabot Financial2 yearsBeware of dodgy people pretending to be debt collectors trying to scam you.2 yearsHonestly, I’m baffled, CABOT keeps ringing me up even though my number’s on the TPS list and they’ve never had my permission to contact me - sounds like a clear violation of UK laws under GDPR.CABOTTelephone Preference ServiceUK2 yearsGot loads of calls from Cabot Financial, these debt collectors kept hassling me for someone I don’t even know. I kept saying I wasn’t the person they wanted and wouldn’t give my info. They got pretty cheeky after a bit. Still, they didn’t stop ringing, so I had to block their number in the end.Cabot Financial2 yearsPretty sure it's one of those dodgy debt scams.2 yearsIf it’s a number I don’t recognise, I just put it straight to block and don’t pick up. Never come across that number before, so I just ignore it completely.2 yearsThey just wouldn’t give up, kept calling over and over.2 yearsIt was Cabot debt collectors calling me. I contacted them through their online chat to check and asked if they could take my number off their list. I only got this number last year, so it must have belonged to someone else who owed money before me. A woman named Lorna sorted it out and took my number off.Lorna2 yearsNon-stop pestering.2 yearsCabot, part of Spent Debt, keep harassing me over the phone. Doesn’t matter how many times I explain I’m not who they're after, they just won’t take my number off their list. I’ve gone ahead with legal steps after reporting them to the police and getting a crime reference. Now let’s see how they handle being on the receiving end of nonstop calls all day and night.Cabot2 yearsEvery single blue comment is from someone working for these lot.. watch out, dont pick up just block and have a chuckle, they can be proper pests and they also target elderly folks, thats the truth.2 yearsWhat a joke, honestly. I’ve stopped even bothering, I don’t pick up anymore. My phone just blocks them straight away. So yeah, do yourselves a favour and quit wasting time, losers.2 yearsThey keep ringing me like 3 or 4 times every day, always at odd hours and using loads of different numbers.2 yearsCabot Financial is a total scam, watch out!Cabot Financial2 yearsIgnored the number as it was unfamiliar, didn’t bother picking up.2 yearsThey keep ringing me from lots of different numbers, and my phone flags them as spam or fraud. I never pick up, so they might as well stop trying!2 yearsWhat a bunch of miserable idiots... bothering an elderly woman like that... absolutely disgraceful.2 yearsGot a call from Cabot Financial, they’re chasing up on Vanquis credit card debts.Cabot FinancialVanquis2 yearsI keep getting calls from 0344 798 7016 and it turns out it’s Cabot Financial. I've never actually answered because my phone flags their number as spam and blocks it right away. Still, they seem keen as they try calling even though they’re blocked. They leave voicemails where the person says, "This is Cabot Financial" and tells me to press a number to speak to someone. I don't bother listening properly anymore - I just delete the message after about 3 seconds like I’m supposed to.Cabot Financial2 yearsCheers, much appreciated!2 yearsGot a recorded call from them every single day, total scam. Reckon they're after my car’s tracker or summat.2 yearsThis is just one out of more than 100 calls I’ve got from Cabot (they bought a debt that’s Statute Barred). Almost all of those numbers aren’t linked to any business at all. Like loads of others, this firm doesn’t have the right or legal power to hound anyone over a Statute Barred debt. They just keep pestering folks until they give in and pay money they really shouldn’t have to.CabotStatutory Spent2 yearsCabot debt collectors ringing me nonstop!Cabot2 yearsI picked up and a woman from Cabot Financial asked if Neil was there, I said no. She then asked if Neil could be contacted on this number, I said no again and mentioned Ive only had the number since 9th Jan 2024. She said alright and that she'd get the number taken off their list, we’ll wait and see. The lady was really polite though.Cabot FinancialNeil2 yearsThat call felt really sketchy and unsafe.2 yearsGot another call I suspected was spam, so I just let it ring out. Checked here and, sure enough, it’s one more number linked to Cabot Financial. I’ve already blocked several numbers from them, but they just keep calling from new ones. Looks like it’s time for me to get a bit tougher since they keep pushing so hard.Cabot Financial2 yearsGot a bunch of voicemails after my phone was off, all from Cabot Financial? They never asked for anyone specific which made me instantly wary. Turns out my instincts were right. Appreciate everyone sharing their experiences to help warn others.Cabot Financial2 yearsCabot Finance is really stressing out loads of folks, and I reckon the FCA should step in. If you’re going to pursue a debt, at least ring at a sensible time, not at half past midnight. First thing’s first, block the number or ring them up and ask them to take your number off their list and only get in touch by email from then on. If you can, offer about a £1 a week, and before phoning back, make sure you’ve got a clear list of all the money you owe.Cabot FinanceFinancial Conduct Authority2 yearsCabot Finance are really pushing it with their constant calls. I've actually reported them to the FCA on 0800 111 6768. You do have the right not to be hounded, even if you owe them. It’s just not on for them to ring at all hours, like midnight every single day. I suggest offering a quid a week and then blocking the number. Honestly, Cabot's actions seem to cross the line into harassment and there should be proper checks to maybe take away their licence since they clearly ignore FCA rules.Cabot FinanceFinancial Conduct AuthorityCabot2 yearsCabot Financial calling about debts, definitely not a scam.Cabot Financial2 yearsMy lad got a couple missed calls and a voicemail from 03447987016 earlier. He sussed it was a spam caller straight away, so didn't pick up and blocked the number. Had a look on Who-Called-Me and read all the comments. Cheers to everyone who shared their experiences about this number.2 yearsIts a spam call, better just block it and dont pick up.2 yearsThey keep ringin me non stop, but I never pick up. They could call all day long for all I care, cos I always ignore this phone.3 yearsThese so called debt collectors keep ringing up random numbers.3 yearsJust another rubbish spam call.3 yearsGot three calls this week from the same number. Ignored the first two and then blocked it. They still tried ringing a third time and left a voicemail after I blocked them. Said they were from "Cabot Financial." Didn’t even ask for me by name, which is obvious since I’ve never dealt with “Cabot Financial” before. The message just said to call them back. Totally feels like a scam and annoyingly, they keep calling even after blocking their number!Cabot Financial3 yearsThey never said which company they were ringing about, asked for someone I dont know, then said I had to pay to make the calls stop. Ive blocked the number now, but they felt pretty sneaky so I flagged it as red.3 yearsThey rang me two times already, no idea where they got my number from.3 yearsGot a call from a woman, sounded human but pretty pushy, demanding to speak to someone I’ve never even heard of. She mentioned a company but I couldn’t quite catch it. I ended up just hanging up. These calls keep coming from this number today, so I’ve now blocked it. Honestly, I’m well and truly done with these annoying scam calls popping up all the time from here and loads of other numbers.3 yearsThey keep calling and messaging, saying they're from Cabot Financial. I'm pretty sure they're not, especially since I don’t owe any money to anyone! Plus, the name they use in the texts isn't mine. I'm registered with the TPS, but that doesn't seem to stop them at all.Cabot FinancialTelephone Preference Service3 yearsThis financial firm keeps leaving the exact same voicemail and it’s just clogging up my answering machine!!! Really wish they’d just buzz off.3 yearsI keep gettin loads of annoying voicemail calls. Have blocked the numbers and reported them as scams to 7026 several times but nothing changes. Why won’t they just stop?3 yearsHow come they keep ringing even after I blocked the number? They still manage to leave a voicemail every time!3 yearsI've been getting loads of calls from this number, some robotic voice claiming it's a private call from a financial firm and tells me to press 1 to chat. Can't block it cause my landline doesn't allow it. We’re signed up with the TPS, but clearly, they couldn’t care less.Telephone Preference Service3 yearsSaid they were from Cabot Financial Debt Collectors.Cabot Financial3 yearsJust another spam call.3 yearsTotal rubbish. Phoney debt agents trying to scam you.3 yearsAbsolute fraudsters.3 yearsThe lengthy message about repaying money is actually from a debt collection agency.3 yearsIf you scroll down about 8 comments, there’s a blue badge post giving some details about this number. Just a heads up, if you do owe money, make sure you pay the right people, not these lot. They might not even be legit debt collectors and could very well be scammers. The real problem is scammers, sure, but also folks who rack up debt and then just ignore sorting it out.3 yearsDue to what they call a statute of limitations, certain debts can’t be chased after six years. Basically, creditors lose the right to go after you or sue you for that money once that period has passed.3 yearsI asked for someone by their name, but apparently they weren’t aware of them. He said sorry and then ended the call.3 yearsJust another spam caller, annoyin as ever.3 yearsCabot keep calling about some 'Statute Barred' debt they want me to sort out.Cabot3 yearsI’ve gone and blocked this number for good, plus any linked to it. They keep trying to call but never actually get to me. Doesn’t really annoy me, just kinda funny really haha.3 yearsThese spammers pretending to be Cabot debt collectors are a right pain. If you see any positive comments here, they’re obviously paid shills. They’ve got my number for some odd reason and keep demanding money for people who aren’t me. Total phishing scam, best just block and ignore them!Cabot3 yearsThis is debt collectors ringing! Debts don’t just disappear after 10 years so if you owe money, you really should sort it out. The rest of us end up paying more because of those unpaid debts. If you’re struggling to pay, bankruptcy might be the way out. If you’re sure you don’t owe anything, it’s worth checking if someone’s stolen your ID. Also, if your phone number or address has changed recently, the previous user might have left unpaid debts behind - that could mess with your credit score. Better to get it sorted quick!3 yearsGot calls from debt collectors about stuff that’s like over a decade old, it’s pretty ridiculous really.3 yearsThem dodgy people are up to their tricks once more.3 yearsThis number rang me on Thursday 14th September about 8:36 in the morning. Luckily my phone was set on do not disturb so it didn’t ring through. Even if it had, I wouldn’t have bothered answering anyway.3 yearsCabot Financial calling again. They’re debt collectors, as usual.Cabot Financial3 yearsI have noticed that I've received thirteen calls from this number, yet there hasn't been a single voicemail left behind. I can only assume this is likely a spam caller.3 yearsGot a couple of missed calls but no voicemail left behind. The caller seems a bit dodgy. Found about 25 other searches done by different folks with no clear result. Makes me think it’s someone up to no good. I’ve blocked the number now.Submit Your Own Report (0344 798 7016)
