BT calling my number and looking for someone else

I received 2 calls today from BT :confused: They are looking for a certain R C... I have the number from 3 months now... shouldn't they know whos line is it? The woman on the phone insisted if I am sure it's not R C line? I think it's odd they don't know whos line is it... I hope that they won't ask me to pay for something for someone else ... any ideeas?

    Have you called BT about this?

    It could possibly be a debt collection chasing up the person that last had the number or even a sales person working for a 3rd party sales company.

    I wouldn't worry about paying anything as you are not liable for paying other peoples bills.

    Give BT a call.
