Hi, I wonder if anyone could tell me if they have had a creditor withhold their number when calling.

I am entering into a DMP with the CCCS on April 1st and my creditors have been notified and sent token payments for March. I have had many calls from Barclaycard which I intercepted with truecall so I could return the call when it suited me better. I have had no other calls yet, just written acceptance from MBNA but I have had a few withheld numbers. I know it could have been anybody but generally, I don't get many calls at all on my landline so this is more than a coincidence.

My creditors are:

Barclaycard (accepted on phone and calls seemed to have stopped today)
MBNA (written acceptance)
Halifax
Capital one
La Redoute
Next

The last 4 have not responded yet so does anyone know if of any of those companies withhold their numbers?

Thanks:)

    I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that, though I suspect any of them that call from an office base (as opposed to a call centre) probably will have a withheld number, if it's not their customer services number.
