03458500293 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 03458500293 👆 is reported as associated with numerous complaints regarding unsolicited calls and letters claiming debt repayments, often linked to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Many users express concern over the legitimacy of these communications, reporting practices that range from aggressive calls to requests for personal and bank details, with some describing scam-like behaviour. While some affirm it as genuine DWP debt recovery activity, others highlight inconsistencies such as incorrect information, suspicious letters, or requests for payment via direct debit or wage deductions without clear verification.

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 keep receiving relentless calls on my mobile from a number I don’t recognise. As someone who's rather advanced in years and not in the best of health, it's utterly exasperating. I could really do without this hassle!

I receive calls from this number daily. They're absolute idiots! Honestly, do us all a favour and take a flying leap off the nearest cliff-just don’t bother looking back!

I've been shelling out £50 each month to this lot for the past year, and I'm starting to wonder if I'm being taken for a ride.

These individuals are definitely fraudsters; they often try to extract cash from unsuspecting victims.

Have you switched your number?

When you dial that number, it redirects you to an 0800 line, which the benefits agency doesn’t actually use. This feels like a fraudulent scheme aimed at obtaining your banking information. Best to steer clear!

What a right dodgy situation, mate! I received a letter that claimed to be from HMRC demanding a measly £12.68 (not much, is it?) for some tax I supposedly owe. The whole thing seemed a bit off, so I decided against using the number on the letter and instead found the tax department's contact number on gov.uk. I explained the whole scenario to them, went through my tax records as far back as possible, and guess what? I owe absolutely nothing. Stay alert, everyone, these scammers are certainly getting wise!

It's utterly baffling that a government helpline concerning DWP debts comes with such a hefty charge. One would expect it to be a toll-free number, aimed at genuinely helping those in financial strife and motivating them to reach out for assistance. It seems rather counterproductive, doesn’t it?

I received a mysterious phone call purporting to be from the DWP, requesting to speak with an individual I’m completely unfamiliar with.

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!

These are indeed ancient social fund loans that simply don’t ever seem to be erased from the books.

I got a call from the DWP, saying they need me to get in touch about some money that’s supposedly owed to them.

It appears that the issue is related to overpayments from the Department for Work and Pensions, which could stem from several years ago or perhaps be linked to more recent tax credits. If you fail to set up a repayment plan, they might seek to deduct the owed amounts directly from your wages. However, on the upside, they are willing to consider manageable instalment payments.

I rang this number after they claimed I owed them £300 related to benefits-however, I've never taken out a loan with them! When I eventually got through, I could hear a lot of chatter in the background. I asked if anyone was there, and they just hung up on me. Quite odd!

Received a letter stating that I have an outstanding debt.
9 years
Certainly not a scam; it's actually related to the Department for Work and Pensions' debt management. Don't forget, government debts don't just disappear into thin air. That social fund loan you might have taken out two decades ago is coming back to haunt you. If you check the official government website, you’ll find the number listed there as well.

Had you reached out to your bank for clarification on the payment, you’d have discovered it was, in fact, from the DWP. A quick phone call to the benefits office he was receiving would have provided you with a comprehensive breakdown.

Could this truly be the DWP? I've just received a rather dodgy-looking letter bearing this number, claiming to be from them. It doesn’t seem quite right!

I've just received a rather concerning letter stating that I'm in debt for an amount I've never borrowed. This is quite baffling, as I have no record of taking out a loan that would justify such a figure.

I’m rather suspicious about whether this is genuinely connected to the Department for Work and Pensions. They've been asserting that I have an outstanding debt of several hundred quid! However, I’m convinced I owe them nothing at all. To make matters worse, they even seem to have my National Insurance number. It certainly raises some red flags and seems a bit dodgy, if you ask me! Should I get in touch with them or just steer clear?

I've just had a letter land on my doormat claiming that I owe a whopping £4556. It's rather bizarre, considering I've been steadily employed full time for the past 17 years and haven’t racked up any debts. I’ll be popping over to speak with the payroll officer at my workplace to give the head office a heads-up. Definitely not making any payments until this is sorted!

I got a rather muffled voicemail at about half three this past Saturday. The background was filled with that typical call centre racket, making it quite difficult to decipher what was being said. There was a woman on the line, but her message was all but lost in the din. The only bits I could catch were the phone number and some mention of it being urgent, along with a reference number that was utterly indecipherable. The purpose of the return call was completely unclear, so I think I'll just disregard it entirely. Just another likely scam attempt, if you ask me!

I recently received a rather alarming phone call from these individuals, claiming I had overpaid back in June 2009. They insisted they were trying to track me down and threatened enforcement action if I didn’t settle up soon. When they asked for my current address, they claimed to already have it, but supposedly had removed it from their records because the letter they sent was returned-allegedly, I’m not known at that address. Quite frankly, I find this utterly nonsensical, as I've lived here for quite some time without any issues. I’m a bit at a loss as to how to proceed. If anyone has any advice, I’d be incredibly grateful!

Blimey, these blokes have no shame! They reached out claiming I owed them money because they had overpaid my deceased father. In a moment of foolishness, I provided them with my personal details. However, after a bit of reflection, something didn’t sit right with me. I decided to investigate their number using this website and, crikey, what a revelation! I immediately contacted my bank to block any transactions. Now I've got the hassle of securing a new card and all that rigmarole. What a right palaver!

I received a letter recently with this phone number asking me to ring them about a refund for an old budgeting loan that I had overpaid. I foolishly provided my banking details, and now, I’m noticing some suspicious withdrawals from my account. Thankfully, my bank is investigating the matter. It definitely feels like fraud at play!

I'm in a bit of a predicament and could use some guidance. I've noticed that some funds have already been deducted from my paycheck. To complicate matters, I've gone ahead and established a direct debit with them. Is this for real?

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 of the blue, I've had a letter pop through my letterbox from the DWP, claiming I owe them £104. Now, here's the thing - I’m not even retired, don’t have a pension on my hands, and don’t have any children, so I’ve no idea what this charge is all about regarding child maintenance. It’s rather puzzling, to say the least!
