Reports on phone number 08000729720
10 yearsI’ve received a handful of texts from this number claiming to be 'policy admin'. They seem to be wanting to discuss our direct debit at their convenience. However, we haven’t had any phone calls or even a letter from a legitimate company. After looking into this site, we won’t be reaching out to them anytime soon.10 yearsLately, I've been inundated with these text messages, but considering I'm only sixteen and we hardly ever use our bank, it all seems rather odd. We decided to give them a ring, and they mentioned something about 'charges for this call,' which we found rather baffling. So, off we trotted to Orange to sort it out! Quite the peculiar situation, isn't it?10 yearsI've received two text messages from this number recently regarding my Direct Debit. The messages were quite similar, stating: "Hello. I'd like to discuss your Direct Debit at your earliest convenience. Please give Policy Admin a call on 0800 072 9720 for further details."Policy Admin10 yearsI called the number associated with my workplace and the contact number for mobile phone insurance.10 yearsHi there! I’d like to chat with you regarding your Direct Debit when you have a moment. If you could give Policy Admin a call at 0800 072 9720, that’d be great for more details. Earlier today, we received a text message similar to one we got on 18th January, just from a different phone number-0800 015 5642. Besides simply getting rid of these bothersome messages, is there anything else we can do to stop this from happening again? What measures can be taken to halt this sort of activity?10 yearsWe've received various calls and messages from this number. To the best of our understanding, it seems to be related to the phone insurance we acquired through Phones4U or Carphone Warehouse via Gadgetline. When one purchases a mobile phone contract, they often benefit from a complimentary week of insurance, which is then billed weekly after that initial period. We opted out of the insurance within the first month, yet our account was still debited in the following month. Consequently, we terminated the direct debit. Now, we're being bombarded with calls and text messages from them.Phones4UCarphone WarehouseGadgetline10 yearsWe've received three text messages urging us to call this number. Our best guess is that it might be related to O2.10 yearsWe've received numerous calls and texts from this number. To the best of our understanding, it seems linked to a phone insurance offering (like Phones4U, Carphone Warehouse, or Gadgetline). You usually get a week of complimentary insurance when you start a new contract, but they begin to the weekly charges shortly after. We were quick to cancel our insurance within that first week, yet they still managed to take money from our account the following month. As a result, we decided to stop the direct debit. Now, they persist in calling and messaging us endlessly.Carphone WarehouseGadgetline11 yearsI gave that number a bell while I was at work, and it turned out to be a right nuisance - they were droning on about mobile phone insurance.11 yearsI've received a couple of texts from something called PolicyAdmin, urging me to call regarding our direct debit. The only direct debit we've got is with Virgin Media, and I've not received any correspondence from them, nor has my bank mentioned anything. So, I'm quite convinced this number is suspicious and haven't bothered to call. I've noticed that some folks suggest it might be linked to Phones 4U, but I’ve never had any dealings with that company whatsoever.Virgin Media11 yearsWe experienced a similar situation not long ago, and after discovering that it was Phone4U involved, it all clicked into place. We decided to cancel our direct debit because they were withdrawing the wrong amounts from our account and refused to rectify the issue. Consequently, I’ve blocked them completely. These folks seem to think they can just ignore our attempts to communicate, but little do they know, it’s a different ball game now, haha. Here’s looking at you, Phone4U, see you in court!11 yearsI’ve been receiving a barrage of text messages lately, but as I’m only sixteen and we don’t utilise our bank account, it struck us as rather odd. We decided to give them a ring, and they mentioned something about “this call comes with a charge.” So we brushed it off and are now off to deal with Orange. It’s all a bit peculiar!11 yearsWe've received a communication from "Policy Admin" directing us to ring them on 0800 015 5642, which was sent on the 2nd of November, 2010. Then, just two days later, another message pinged through, this time asking us to get in touch on 0800 072 9720. Since we've recently terminated our Phones4u phone insurance, it all seems rather logical now.Policy Admin11 yearsWe dialled the number on our home phone and shared our mobile number with them. It turns out that our number had been recycled, and the messages we were receiving weren't intended for us. As a result, they stopped sending them.12 yearsI received a couple of messages from them earlier today, and I’ve just decided to terminate our direct debit with Phones4U for our mobile insurance. Quite puzzling, really! Has anyone got any suggestions or tips?Phones4U12 yearsWe've received the exact same message and we're with Orange.12 yearsI’ve received a couple of text messages on my T-Mobile phone from different numbers, and interestingly, when I called back, the same person answered each time. It seems to be regarding mobile phone insurance, but the truth is, I’ve never taken out any insurance policy with them or anyone else for that matter. It’s a pay-as-you-go phone, so all this feels like a rather desperate attempt to intimidate me into engaging with them. I’ll just add these numbers to my blocked contacts and delete the messages without a second thought!12 yearsThe Policy Administration team is keen to have a word with us regarding our direct debit, and it seems to be quite pressing. However, we don’t recognise this company as one that had set up our direct debit in the first place.Policy Administration12 yearsI didn't get a call, but I received a text from this number. I’m unsure if it’s a legitimate message. It claimed to be from "policy admin" and said they needed to discuss our direct debit without specifying any details. The only direct debit we have is for our car insurance, and I'm puzzled as to how they obtained my mobile number in the first place. They've sent us two messages, and when I tried to ring back from our landline, I was instructed to call a different number: 08784017657, which only added to my suspicions.
