01606 780510 DCBL - These folks are the debt collection part of DCBL, they just harass people to get their money and seem to do nothing else but pocket it. The boss of DCBL and the one who owns AYOM/Guardian split the cash between them, I’m telling you this because I used to work for both companies!!!!!

Heads up everyone, there’s some dodgy characters circling around lately! Got a call from a guy with a northern accent calling himself Max, asking for the boss by his first name like he was mates with him. These calls never get past me. He claimed it was about debt collection, I just told him “You’ve got the wrong number, we don’t owe a penny to anyone.” Ended the call pretty quick. Like others mentioned, the company’s called AYOM - so unique!

Beware of Are You Owed Money Ltd based in Preston, North West. They seem like a dodgy debt collecting firm - best just to ignore their calls.

Got a call from Lisa at Ayom, she was asking for credit control and sounded quite pushy and rude. The number that popped up was 0333 355 5652, but the one she left to ring back was 0800 0248656 ext. 5123. Feels like a total scam to me - best just block or ignore it.

Got a call from this number earlier - a woman named Oana who claimed her company was called 'I Owed Money'. She asked for my manager by name and said we had supposedly requested a callback about an ongoing problem - complete rubbish. I’m definitely not forwarding the message! She kept repeating her name, company, phone number, and extension like I hadn’t caught it the first time!

Got a call from this number today but when I picked up, there was total silence on the other end. Seems dodgy to me. Tried looking it up but couldn’t find anything about it anywhere. Probably some kind of scam or spam.

Robert rang me and left a message to get back in touch, just like yesterday. I’m not a fan of people who keep phoning like this, claiming to be from a debt collection agency. I’ve already removed my number from the Gumtree ad.

Lisa gave me a ring. I asked her a couple of times if it was a cold call and she said no, something about accounts receivable. She left a phone number and an extension to ring back on. Not planning to call them though.

This number belongs to a dodgy debt collection outfit from Preston, goes by the names Ayom or Are You Owed Money Ltd. They also trade as Guardian Debt Recovery or Guardrec. Both are just fronts for the conman Robert Logan, who’s currently being looked into by the authorities. Avoid dealing with any of these firms at all costs.

Some lady named Laura rang me out of the blue asking for the 'Credit Manager'! Checked it online and it turns out it's a debt collection company. If I ever need that sort of service, I’ll make sure to pick a proper, trustworthy firm. Cold calls like that are usually a warning sign for dodgy companies who charge a one-time fee, then vanish or go bust within a year, leaving you with nothing.

LOUISE FROM AYOM Just kept pushing when I said no about putting her through to my MD. She said she'd ring back and I told her nicely that it won't change anything whenever she calls. We’re not about to talk money matters with this firm anytime soon. Unfortunately I can’t block this annoying person on my work phone.

I got a voicemail from someone called Nicole claiming to be from Ayom, a debt collection agency. She said they specialise in helping with debt collection for land developers, but we aren’t land developers and we’re on the TPS! I haven’t bothered calling back and have already reported them to the TPS.

got a call from nicole at ayom. honestly, this lot are using really dodgy methods. nicole tried the same old trick of saying she spoke to the decision maker last week just to get past reception - total nonsense. its a poor effort and shows how out of touch the company is. the bosses really should rethink their approach and create a call script that actually offers something useful and means something.

this woman called nicole from some debt collection agency was really pushy and quite rude. even after i told her we don’t work with debt collectors 'cause we don't have any dodgy debts, she just kept phoning me nonstop! honestly, best thing is just to hang up straight away and dont bother trying to chat with her!

This is one of those debt collector scams where they ask for a single payment to handle your unpaid debts, but then they do nothing and you never get your money back or the debts recovered. Just remember, if someone's not paying you back, its better to keep your money instead of giving it to them. Sometimes it's best to write off a bad debt rather than making your losses worse.

Seemed a bit suspicious if you ask me. They were asking if we owed any money! I just told them no and to leave me alone.
