Central Debt Recovery

Hi everyone
Wondering if anyone can help.
Its a long story but I think I have been 'scammed' at work with 'advertising'
but this afternoon Mr Hudson from Central Debt Recovery rang me - I got rid of him but not before I was left very upset (not that I let him hear that) he threatened me personally eventhough this is regarding the firm I work for
I made a note of the phone number - It was from Manchester.

When I looked up the company the only one with the exact name is in Birmingham and was dissolved in May 2010 (Companies House)
Does anyone know of this company????
Are they for real or another part of my original scam which also happens to be in Manchester

Any info would be gratefully received as he is ringing back on Thursday

Many thanks

    I think you (and he) need to conduct everything in writing from now on.

    If this is your company's debt (alleged) then your bosses need to be aware of what is going on.

    Many debt collectors pretend they have a 'central debt recovery unit', even when they're little more than a one-man band. It might be a bit clearer who he is working for if you get a letter on this.
