They may be on a fishing trip - they have a debt, possibly someone with the same name as you, and they would like you to pay that debt please. Or they may be trying to contact you to pay for a debt that is now statute barred.

A debt becomes statute barred if there have been no payments towards it or acknowledgement of the debt for 6 years (5 in Scotland).

There is not really anything you can do to stop them contacting your neighbours, but what you may wish to do is phone them but withhold your number - i think you dial 141 but you may want to check that.

Edit: check the saynoto0870 site to see if they have a different number to the one you were given incase it is a premium rate number. Remember, you do not need to give them any information - especially personal details such as DOB etc.
