My last thread was about my 'Final Warning' from graham white. They have rang twice but I've missed the call as I've been working. Now I have received this txt....

URGENT - Mr Paul ******* please call Roxburghe on 01932332016, quoting
reference 2275****. This is not a sales message.

Anyone had a txt before? Or know what's next. I'm expecting more 'Final Warnings' as I was told to last time.
Been ignoring everything so far and not in a hurry to ring this number.

Thanks for any help.

The number that txt me was 07837667044

    It's been reported on here several times about texts and calls from Roxbourgh. Nothing to worry about.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    If you ring that number or confirm your identity to them when you answer, all the ignoring will be in vain, they will pester the life out of you.
    Answer your phone by asking Who is calling and why they are calling before confirming who you are.
    A genuine caller will only be too happy to oblige, terminate the calls of those who refuse.
    They do have a budget to stick to.

    @OP You might want to edit your post to obscure your name. :)
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    Agreed, remove your name from your post.

    Plus please give the number the text is from. We have the 01932 number but a mobile woudl also be handy for getting quotes on comparison websites and similar!
  • Names obscured. Thanks. Numbers up!

    If its any consolation, the depths these (curly topped things shepherds use) people go to to prise your money from your pocket shows very well how the message is getting through to the general public.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    A man with a bunged up nose gives you the option of talking to 'Roxborough' or Graham White when you call the mobile no.

    Oooooh, which one to choose...'call Centre Employee working for Roxburghe' or 'same call Centre Employee working for Roxburghe but pretending to be from GW'! :rotfl:
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
