08431786527 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08431786527 👆 is reported as a Worldpay-related number linked to credit card machine terminal updates, often occurring during early morning hours without the user's direct involvement. Many small businesses have noticed unexpected, sometimes substantial phone charges attributed to calls made by their payment terminals to this number. Users report that these updates can be costly, running into tens or even hundreds of pounds over time, and are not always clearly communicated or itemised. Complaints suggest some providers do reimburse charges when contacted, but frustrations remain over the lack of transparency and reliance on premium or non-geographic numbers for essential terminal updates. To avoid these fees, connecting payment terminals to the internet via Ethernet rather than phone lines is advised, and users are encouraged to monitor bills closely and challenge questionable charges promptly.

On our most recent phone bill, there was a charge of £21 for calls to this number. We definitely didn’t make any calls to it. Apparently, there were three calls logged sometime between 1:50am and 2:50am, right in the middle of the night.

In February, I was hit with a bill of £17.00 for making nine calls that all took place just after midnight. They were processed through a World Pay terminal, and it seems they’re slapping on a hefty £12.00 per minute charge. I dread to think what it would cost for an hour’s worth of chatting!

On Saturday, the 24th of March, my Worldpay card reader unexpectedly dialled out three times. The first call at 1:23am lasted for 4 minutes and 19 seconds, racking up a charge of £0.88. Then, astonishingly, it made a second call at 1:30am that stretched on for an outrageous 54 minutes and 47 seconds, resulting in a hefty bill of £10.98! Lastly, it made yet another call at 2:26am that cost me an additional £0.56. I simply cannot believe this has happened! I will definitely be unplugging it from now on, and I’m seriously considering raising a dispute with Worldpay or even dropping their service entirely. This is completely unacceptable!

I can't place all the blame on Worldpay, yet it's clear that they ought to be mindful of the fact that the installation firm is tarnishing their reputation by fitting these systems for updates in this manner. It's worth liaising with the provider of your equipment - they are the ones who ought to rectify this situation with what seems to be an unspoken fee.

Yet again, I've received another terminal from Worldpay, and lo and behold, another charge exceeding £35! Is this even above board? Would anyone fancy sparking a discussion with the watchdog about this? I firmly believe that these mandatory updates ought to be conducted via an 0800 number, or at the very least, integrated into the internet line. We were assured that a telephone line was a necessity!

I've just spotted this number, and it turns out one of the calls came through at 3 AM! It's a work phone, so there shouldn't be anyone around at that hour. Quite peculiar, to say the least!

I noticed 5 calls made from my card machine adding up to £19.51 in just one day, so I called my provider to check it out. Turns out, it’s a software update that happens somewhere between every 4 months and 2 years. To dodge these and other small, regular fees, I was advised to hook up the machine to my router using an ethernet cable instead of the phone line. It was pretty quick to set up, with a bit of help from the provider, and now the machine uses the internet instead - so no more surprise bills!
10 years
After chatting with my service provider, I discovered that the five outgoing calls from my card reader on a single day, which added up to £19.51, were due to a software update that happens every 18 months to two years. To dodge these annoying little fees that pop up weekly or monthly, you can simply connect the card machine directly to your router using an ethernet cable rather than relying on your phone line. It took just a few minutes for me to sort it out with assistance from my provider, and now, it seems the machine will run off the internet, meaning those pesky charges are a thing of the past!

I've recently noticed a deduction of £42.08 from my account by Ingenico or Lloyds Cardnet, which has left me rather perplexed. For the past couple of years, I've been utilising the same machine and supplier without incurring any unexpected fees like this one. After switching my telecoms provider, I received a bill that was far higher than I’d anticipated, prompting me to raise an inquiry with them. At present, I’m just sitting tight, awaiting a response from Lloyds Cardnet to clear this up.

I've just taken a closer look at my rather hefty phone bill and discovered I've been slapped with a charge exceeding £10 for a solitary call to this number. It was made during the night using a WorldPay card reader, no less! I can't help but wonder about the fortune they're raking in from this. It really feels like a complete con!

Greetings, I’ve noticed some unexpected charges on my account from Worldpay for two calls made during the early hours-one at 2:40 AM, hitting us for £8.40, and another at 4:16 AM for £1.26. Just to clarify, our shop, Upstairs Downstairs Hair Fashions in Leamington Spa, doesn’t open until 9 AM, so this is particularly odd! As a small business, such surprises really hit us hard financially. This isn’t the first hiccup we've encountered with Worldpay, either. Best, Tony Critten ([email protected])

I don't possess a Worldpay terminal; mine is provided by a different company. On the 29th of April, my BT line was used to place 31 calls, racking up a total of £29, all linking back to Worldpay and the number 08448221974. I've tried to raise this concern, but it seems nobody is interested! It makes me question why I'm held to the standards of PCIDSS when I'm clearly facing potential vulnerabilities.

I'm absolutely chuffed to find others have shared their experiences here; I was on the brink of losing my marbles! I’ve got a PDQ from WorldPay, and it appears to align with the previous accounts I've read. My shop's been bombarded with 14 calls, all clocking in around 6am, well before we even open our doors. To cap it all off, I've been billed £17 for this nonsense. After going through the earlier comments, I’m definitely going to have a word with WorldPay. They probably won't take much notice, but this has eaten up an hour of my business time-time that they should frankly compensate us for! Wishing everyone the best of luck with this!

I've recently discovered that I’ve accrued over £24 in charges on a single invoice due to some phone calls. Apparently, there’s been an error in their system, and I was advised to forward a copy of my bill detailing these calls to the email they provided earlier: [email protected]. They’ve promised a refund will be issued. Honestly, if you don't keep an eye on your phone bill, you might easily overlook these unexpected charges!

I reached out to Worldpay's customer support regarding this matter, and they instructed me to forward copies of my phone bills to their Customer Care address at Eurocentral, 14 Wood Hall Road, Motherwell, ML1 4YT. The most recent bill I received, dated 2nd April, amounted to £7.58 for a lengthy conversation lasting 1 hour, 9 minutes, and 40 seconds. However, it appears there's been a string of shorter, inexpensive calls preceding this, which, when added up over the years, could potentially result in a significant sum-at least in my opinion, it certainly adds up to a fair bit!

It appears that the Worldpay card terminal has caused a bit of a stir. We were hit with a hefty charge following a significant update during the night of 16th March 2016. I rang up to express my frustration and they provided me with an email address for customer support to request a refund. The email they gave was [email protected]; I presume this is a generic one for all customers? They mentioned it would be helpful to include a copy of my phone bill as proof. My call lasted more than an hour and a half, resulting in a charge of £9.

The email address is [email protected] (I presume this is a universal address?). They advised me to send a copy of my phone bill as proof of the lengthy call.
