Advantis credit . Why are they ringing me?

Hi,
For the last five days I have been left an answer phone message from this company. They say I need to ring them urgently on a 0845 number.
I googled them and they are a debt recovery agency.
The thing is I don't owe any money to any company. Nothing, zilch not a penny.
I have been at work each time they have rung, I don't want to ring them back due to the costs and the fact I don't owe too anyone.

How did they get my number and why don't they write to me?

Baffled!

  • Probably trying all similar names and hoping to get a hit. If you're certain you owe noone then ignore them. The worst that can happen is you get a letter from them.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

  • This is MSE, why waste the phone call. If they are really interested they'll write.

  • I agree with stclair if they dont owe anything why dont you just ring. If your so bothered about the calls.

    The reason I am not ringing is simple, as I said I am not spending money and time on a 0845 number, now I have a 01782 number, thanks to stclair I will see what they want.
    Thanks for the replies.
