Roxburghe Phone Call

McDude

I joined up, just to reply to this (though I will now participate and contribute as only a good forum member should).

I keep getting calls from Roxburghe, again they ask for my postcode, which I refuse to give. I point out to them we are at a stalemate and that I don't think I have anything to gain by speaking to them.

As far as I am aware, I don't have any debt and anyone who I have dealt with would have my home address. This is the particular issue I have with Roxburghe in that they claim to be writing to me, but nothing has come to my house. This makes me think that even if I did give Roxburghe my home postcode it would be the wrong one on their records anyway!?!!?

At the moment I'm refusing to comply, but I am curious to know what they have on me - curiosity may kill this particular cat.

Should I comply or keep stringing them along? It is fun working out just how frustrated the caller becomes, but at the same time it is a pain getting calls during work hours. I'm in an open plan office and don't really want my colleagues thinking I'm evading the debt catchers.

Have no idea where they would get my mobile number from, can only be the DVLA which is terrible!

The DVLA have your mobile number :huh:

There's space on most DVLA forms for a phone number - while not compulsory I'm sure many people fill it in thinking, incorrectly, that the DVLA would never sell it to scammers.

The DVLA have said before that they 'only' pass on the registered keeper's name and adddress (big deal, DVLA). Not any phone numbers.

When Roxburghe get a phone number it will be from something else in the public domain, such as info held in your credit file or even something as simple as a Google or Facebook search if the name is unusual.

McDude, if you want them to stop phoning you then say so. Don't comply and don't string them along either unless you find it fun!

Just say 'the alleged debt is denied. Any further contact from you is harassment so return the file to the originator immediately'.

To be frank any organisation that's complicit in a scam shouldn't be believed. It wouldn't surprise me one bit that on one hand DVLA say they don't pass on phone numbers and one the other do actually do it. It might just be the cynic in me though.

I'm still getting phone calls and yet more 'final demands' from Graham White Solicitors, despite telling them repeatedly, in no uncertain terms, to take me to court if they're so certain I owe the money. The fact that they send out letters with increasingly desperate overtones that are filled with legal mumbo-jumbo proves the point that their claims are groundless and should be ignored. I think I've had a total of eight 'final' demands from Excel Parking, Roxburghe and the fake solicitors.

Time to file a claim for harassment methinks.

When they ring I just put the phone on speaker, put it down and do something else until they eventually hang up. I think I'll start recording the conversations though - the nonsense their phone monkeys come out with is priceless!

I've had about 3 phone calls from Roxburghe now.

The first two times i refused to confirm my details, so confusingly they hung up, and now they are calling from a mobile number - but I have that number saved as "Dont Answer"

Is there anything I can say to stop these muppets calling, or is it the case of just ignoring them till they go away?

Thanks in advance
