  1. My Dad had a phone call from a guy called Dan from this number on Friday saying he was phoning to speak to me with regards to a past debt with Welcome Finance. He said he was calling from Willen Collections Agency, but when I've searched for this name nothing came up. When I searched by the phone number it came up with this and the fact this company has changed names several times recently. Never have I once given WF my Dad's mobile number so where could they have got it from? they have phoned my Dad again today and he's explained to the guy that the debt was cleared off and I gave up the wehicle as I could no longer afford it. WF said this was fine and they would come to collect the vehicle. Months passed and the car stayed out on the road not taxed etc. Eventually the vehicle was clamped by the DVLA as it was on the road and not taxed. I phoned the DVLA and explained and before I could mention the car dealers name the lady asked is it with WF as they had so many unclaimed vehicles of theirs! I wrote to WF explaining to them they had 7 days in which to claim the vehicle but heard nothing back. This all happened over 3 years ago!!! My Dad himself is an independant financial advisor and has told them to stop harrassing him and that they have clearly broken data protection rights by obtainging his number. As you can imagine he is now going to report them to the FSA. The police were involved last time and we are not afraid to get them invovled again. My Dad also explained this to the guy which made him quiet for a minute but he was still persistent in trying to obtain my details. When he asked my Dad for a forwarding address my Dad refused to give him it (thank you Dad!) and said that if they had obtained his mobile number illegally then surely they could obtain an address illegally! I'm now trying to find the exact address that I can use to write to them and start threatening legal action. All I can say is that I don't trust them as far as I could throw them!
