Harrington Finance

My daughter is being harassed with mobile calls from a company called Harrington Finance telling her she has applied for a £15000 loan. They virtually called her a liar when she told them she hadn't. Their contact number is a mobile (suspicious in itself) 07837672240.
Has anyone else had a similar experience recently?

    Check this out, VOR. I thought ISHKA's response summed it up....!

    They're a debt management company. No doubt they're just trying to intimidate her into paying something. She should ignore it and not give any details to them. And perhaps ask her service provider to block the number.

  • Can she block their number? Or report them to Ofcom?
    Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....
