Link Financial harrassment

Ok just had a neighbour inform me that a guy called Ricky called for me on 02077932683 I thought who is this?
So i researched the net and found a site called whocallsme and discovered they are Link Financial (debt collectors) and apparently they use the tactic of calling neighbours all the time stating they are trying to get hold of someone as if they are friends!!:mad:
I have also had a few missed calls on my mobile, so i witheld my number and guess what "hello link financial" on the other end!
I cannot beleive the tactics these people use!?:mad:
Anyway i have sent them a firm email stating all the usual law stuff, data protection, phone number is listed on business preference and so on.
I have reported them to the relevant authorities blah blah.
And....... by the way i went bankrupt a month ago here is my reference number!
So hopefully that will be the end of that?!:T
Just thought i would make others aware of these sharks rearing there ugly heads!
