How have Red/Lowell suddenly got hold of my phone number?!?!

So, To cut a long story short, I am being chased by 2 DCA. One is sorted as the debt is statute barred. The other however is Lowell portfolio. The last time I paid them or had any dealings was in 2009. I owe about £300 to them.

I get the odd letter, but thats it. Now today out of the blue, I have had 2 missed calls and a text from Lowells asking me to contact them.

THEY HAVE NEVER HAD MY MOBILE PHONE NUMBER! Even when I was paying them they had an old number I no longer use. How on earth have they managed to get my new mobile number? They search my credit file once a month, but as far as I can see my phone number is not on my file.

Anyone got any idea's?! Thanks

If you have given it to any company that might submit info to something like that.

BALLS! I set up a new bank account with santander last week for savings for my son. I'm assuming I put my number on the application form... That must be how.

Hell! Now i am going to have to dodge 10 phone calls a day! Thanks Fermi.
