Has anyone heard of these. They have just sent a text to my mobile phone, they had most of my name right and most of the address but then when I called they told me not to worry about it as I was the wrong person. I have had the same number for years and just wondered if I should be worried??
Thanks

    They are a debt collection company and a pretty nasty one at that, they usually like to use agressive and threatening phone calls to demand money from alleged debtors.

    Bit worried how they got my mobile number though but the info they had was not fully accurate

    if they ring again just instruct them to write to you, don't give them your address, if they have their information correct and have legitimate reason to contact you then they will know your address, if you get a letter we can take it from there other than that i'd forget about it.
