phone spoofers - complaints department of FCA saying im not paying enough on my debts

[grimus4]

Hi

I am new to forums so i apologise in advance if this is in the wrong forum.

 

I had a call from a foreign gentleman called "philip" claiming to be from the complaints department

of the Financial Conduct Authoruty

 

 

stating that certain creditors (Santander Barclays and capital one) of mine had got together

and complained to his department as I was in a debt management arrangement,

gave an approximate value of debt owed and wasn't paying them enough to clear the debt quickly enough.

 

 

While we do owe money to these creditors

two out of the three are in my wifes name.

 

 

I told him that i didn't believe he was from that orginisation and put the phone down on him.

 

 

I got a phone call back immediately from him which he was more threatening.

I advised him to send me details in writing. and that i would not deal with him.

He said that he had this recorded and would send Bailiffs round.

 

1)I believe this to be a [problem]

2) Has anyone else had this type of Cold Phone Call

3) i dont believe that these companies who we have got agreements to pay back would "club" together to make a complaint.

 

Any suggestions would be gratefully received

Hi

There are 2 Numbers being used I think

1) this is the number that called me 07777114587 the caller never used withhold number

2) maybe coincidence but similar07779053322

Thanks for your input

looking around the net

I see these two numbers linked with spoofing bank details out of punters

 

 

so you gave no numbers to them but obv got spoofed into acking you had accounts with these creditors

It might be worth passing this information on to the Financial Conduct Authority. They might do something about this.
