MT Collect on behalf of capital finace one help

[mightyroyals]

Hi

 

I just recieved a call from 08021 when i answered it was someone calling for me and said they were calling from MT Collect on behalf of CFO and said i owed money from 2010 to which my response was i dont know anything of it and he was having none of it and he said he has set up a payment plan to pay it off over 3 months and then gave me there bank details for a standing order.

I asked him for a phone number for MT Collect and he gave me a 0131 number but after hanging up i realised it is a 12 digit number and is nott recognised and i have tried taking away a digit in diffrent places but no joy.

I cannot find anything for MT collect anywhere or for the numbers they gave me or called me off any advice please

I should have said 'possibly in the same room'

True though the number they gave is false anyway.

 

Should i just leave it till they call again and record the call like you say?

 

Just confused how they got my number as it is a new number and registered with the TPS

[silverfox1961]

You would be surprised at how they get these numbers. Have you at any time given your new number to a commercial body?

 

The fact is, you state this debt is not yours therefore they should not be contacting you. When they phone you again, stall them while you set up the recorder then play them at their own game.

for any company to get a Consumer Credit Licence, they have to abide by the OFTs Debt Collection Guidance. In this case, it is fairly certain they are chasing the wrong person and that's a breach of the guidance

As mentioned, MT collect are I believe a trading name of CFO, although they seem to constantly state they are external and have no connection. If anyone has a debt with these, they are undoubtedly the worst of the bunch imo, i'd advise anyone to record any call from them if possible as the comments they make are laughable and illegal most of the time.
