Clarity Credit Management - Scam?

Options
Had a few texts from this company asking me to ring and then had a call today asking me to confirm my details, I have no idea who they are so refused, woman said they'd sent me letters but I haven't received any. She said they need to talk to me about something important, I told them to send more letters!

Anyone had any dealings with them, from the few things I can find online it seems to be a scam or a fishing exercise on their part, I can never understand how companies can ring you and then ask you to confirm your details like date of birth etc

I do have outstanding debt but it is all in a debt management plan so I can't think what this company is on about.

    Possible that one of the DMP creditors has passed the debt on to them I suppose.

    Only thing to do is wait and see if they write.

    Ive had the same calls for the last two weeks. Had 2 calls today from the same person and a recorded voice call asking me to call them. Also get text messages.

    I think mine is regarding an insurance policy that I cancelled after my shop closed but it appears I have to pay for the rest of the year as I had a claim

    I have asked them to stop harrassing me with telephone calls and to make all contact by mail.

    Just another bog standard DCA, ignore them until they write you a letter, then get advice.

    I have just had an email from these people saying I owe BT money from an old address. I know I don't owe this money and I'm not even with BT now.
    They did know the years I was at the old address but the dates were wrong.
    Suspicious (as always) I did a search and find they are chancers and to completely ignore any missive they sent you.
    DON'T reply to them or else they'll harass you more.
    If they were legitimate they would send letters to your door.

    I wish there was laws in place to guard people against fraudsters like these. Very annoying.
