Evening everyone,
It's been a while since I've been here, roughly 2 years I think, but there has been a new development with my mobile phone number!
To recap, about 4 years ago I took out a mobile phone contract with Orange along with a new phone number. About a year after I took out the contract, around November/December time, I started receiving phone calls from Capquest looking for someone I don't know, and who I suspect probably had the phone number before me. I also discovered that Orange actually use Capquest to recover unpaid depts! Anyway, after being pestered on and off by Capquest for around 2 years, usually at around this time of year, I eventually got rid of them by making a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office.
Today, 2 years later, I receive a call from a different collection agency on 0333 344 0286, who are apparently called Raven Recoveries, part of a debt collection company called MKDP LLP...:tinysmile_cry_t:
Since I suspect that this won't be the last I hear from these jokers, as judging by some of the posts on this forum it appears that MKDP/Raven are even more persistant and odeious than Capquest! In an attempt to get rid of them I have this evening written them a letter, only giving them my mobile number, politely asking them to remove it from their database, as I suspect their information is grossly out-of-date, and is therefore in breach of the Data Protection Act!
Lets hope it get's rid of them:tinysmile_fatgrin_t
In my experience the only way to stop these debt collection jokers phoning you is to complain to the ICO.
