I just found out this number was linked to some direct debit scam on my bank account. Thankfully, I managed to cancel it in time so they won’t get any money.

I’m elderly and not feeling great, yet my phone keeps getting calls from unknown numbers non-stop. It’s really getting on my nerves.

I’ve been coughing up about £50 every month to these lot for the past year, now I’m wondering if I’ve been had.

Called the number and it redirected me to an 0800 line. The benefits office never uses numbers like this, so watch out - it’s probably a trick to get your bank info.

Some dodgy blokes tried to scam me with a letter claiming to be from HMRC, saying I owed a small amount - like £12.68 or something. The letter seemed a bit off, so I didn't call the phone number on it. Instead, I found HMRC’s official number on the government website and gave them a ring. I told them about the letter and we checked my tax records together - turns out I don’t owe a penny. These scammers are definitely sharpening their game, so keep your eyes peeled!

I find it odd that a number linked to the Government about DWP debts comes with such expensive charges. You’d think it would be a freephone so folks struggling with debt wouldn’t be put off calling for help. It really should be cheaper to encourage people to get in touch.

Got a call from someone saying they were with the DWP, asking to speak to a person I'd never even heard of. Totally suspicious.

Got a letter saying I supposedly owe money to the DWP with a phone number to call. Instead of ringing that number, I phoned the official DWP line and they said there’s no record of any debt. Feels like a total scam to me.

Hello there, I'm in the process of investigating whether this might be a fraudulent operation. I have a sneaky suspicion it could be dodgy. I'll keep you posted!

They're those social fund loans from ages ago that just never seem to disappear or get cleared.

I got a call about some overpayment from the DWP - might be from a few years ago or possibly something recent like tax credits. If you don't sort it out, they can start taking money straight from your wages. Luckily, they do let you pay it off bit by bit in small amounts.

So, I got a call from this number saying I owed 300 quid for some benefits thing. I’ve never borrowed money from them or anything like that. When I managed to answer, there was loads of noise in the background, like people chatting. I asked if anyone was actually there and then they just hung up on me. Proper dodgy!

Got a letter through the post claiming I’m in debt to them.

This isn’t some sort of scam, it’s definitely the DWP’s debt management team. Money owed to the government rarely gets forgotten, so that social fund loan you might have had 20 years back is now coming back up again. You can find the phone number on the gov.uk site as well if you want to double check.

Honestly, if you'd checked with the bank about where the money ended up, you'd have found out it was actually the DWP that got it. You really should have contacted the benefit office he was getting payments from - they’d have sorted it out and explained everything properly.

Can someone tell me if this is actually connected to the Dept for Work & Pensions? They say I owe them a few hundred quid but I’m certain I don't owe anything. They even mentioned my NI number. Seems dodgy to me, feels like a scam!! Should I even bother getting in touch with them?

Got a voicemail around half three on Saturday afternoon, and there was loads of noise like a busy call centre in the background. It was a lady speaking, but her voice was really faint. I just picked up a phone number and that it was important to ring back with some kind of reference number, but that bit was impossible to understand. No clue what they wanted, so I’m just gonna ignore it. Feels like another dodgy scam to me!

I got a call today from some lot claiming I overpaid back in June 2009. They said they've been trying to track me down and are threatening enforcement if I don’t settle up. When I asked about my address, they said they had it but had removed it because a letter they sent was returned as 'unknown at this address' - which is total nonsense since that’s never happened. Can anyone advise me on what to do here? Would really appreciate any guidance.

What a bunch of crooks! They rang me up claiming I owed money because they supposedly paid my dad too much before he passed away. I was daft enough to hand over my info, but something felt off after a bit. I looked up their number here and - wow - what a relief! I rang my bank straight away to stop any cash going out. Now I'm stuck sorting a new card and the whole hassle that comes with it.

Got a letter telling me to ring this number about a refund for an overpaid old loan. Gave them my bank info but now there’s weird money leaving my account. Sounds like a scam to me. Luckily, my bank is sorting it out already.

Oi, I really need some advice here. They've already started deducting cash straight from my pay, and now I've also arranged a direct debit with them. Is this legit or what?

It’s the DWP trying to get hold of you regarding an overpayment, I reckon. They’ve even reached out to my employer and slapped an earnings attachment on my wage - 20% of my take-home pay, no less! Apparently, I owe £2500, and I’ve attempted to dispute it, but it’s as if I’m talking to a brick wall.

Out the blue, I got a letter from the DWP claiming I owe £104. Thing is, I'm not retired and don't get a pension at all. Plus, I don't have any kids, so there’s no way I should owe anything for child maintenance.
