Harassment

[evensis]

Hi there,

 

New to the forums but always find quite a lot of interesting reading.

 

Recently, I have been receiving calls and text messages from motormile finance, regarding a debt for some woman (I have no idea who she is). I have debts like most, but are all well within my means and my credit profile reflects this!

 

I have sent them a couple of emails telling them i'm the wrong person, and it has been ignored. I'm not prepared to call them as it mentions about a premium rate number.

 

I'm at a loss of what to do really, they call all times of the day (while im at work, in work related meetings of all things as well), and quite frankly its royally p***ing me off.

 

I can't really see where else to go other than reporting them to the Police for harassment, I have kept all text messages and any voice mails they have left as evidence.

 

Can anyone suggest what I should do to stop this?

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Adam

Hi evensis

 

Welcome to CAG

 

If you have informed them and they carry on calling you, write to them informing them it's against the Debt Collection Guidelines as they have been informed that they have got the wrong person.

 

Tell them you will be lodging complaints with BT and ICO (Also holding incorrect data about you).
