Lowell Financial chasing for debts

TEXT ME THREATENING ME TO CALL IN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS BUT WHEN I TRIED TO CALL THE NUMBER IS NOT RECOGNISED

they've left a message to my voicemail today with a reference number to call them back for a debt.. I don't have any debt so not calling them back. But it sounds genuine

Been called many times, blocked number, so now auto rejects. Don't know them.

I have been receiving texts addressed to a 'jahangir' from different numbers for the past few months about a loan app. In the past two days I have had phone calls from this number. They left voicemails addressing me as 'jahangir' and claiming to be moorcroft debt collectors.

Cabot call or txt daily asking for someone who isnt me. Txtd back they had wrong number but they ignore - pests!!

I was called from this number at 1754hrs today. I did not answer the call as I didn't recognise the number

Cabot Debt Collectors... Pain in the rear!! Blocked their number now. Endless calls from them and I'm not in any debt!!

Phoning every day, Texting every day, requests to call them back every day, reminding me how many times they have patiently tried to contact Etc Etc.

I have no debts, never had any. They keep calling my very old phone. Not used it for a year. I'm blocking their number.

I get calls from this company every few days .

Constantly phone but vary their number each time; don’t answer numbers I don’t recognise so block them.

Cabot Financial chasing a debt for Barclays Partner Finance for a training course that never happened because the Course providers went bust so the course was void This is from 2009

they texted me

Didn't answer but keep calling

Rang the pub and claimed to be bailiffs chasing an overdue account. I could pay over the phone, or they would be down to take cash or goods. Needless to say, no-one has arrived as yet. However, they were aggressive over the phone, and tried intimidating me into paying over the phone. Police have been informed. Checked 1471 and number with held. Claim to be from Cabot Financial. **Update spoke with Cabot this morning, not a genuine debt, fake reference. Cabot Financial's actual number is 03445560263

I received a call from this number (which was unknown to me), when I answered, there was music playing. I hung up.

Didn't answer as came up as a spam number. Where have they got my number from?

Really abusive stated I owed a debt when I didn’t and threatened myself and my staff

Stop calling me please block this number

Stop calling me please block this number

Trying to get us to pay money back to British Gas by fraudulent means.We have not been with British Gas for years this is a debt they are chasing that we are not in debt to.

03335565570 Is the number for Lowell - http://www.lowell.co.uk/ - They are a legitimate debt collecting company that O2 use. I had the same issue, receiving texts thinking I’m someone else. Just ring them, or ring O2 and get them to put you through. Once the automated voice asks you for account info (that you obviously don’t have) just hold. You will then get through to an advisor who can remove your number from their stupid system.

Cabot debt collectors

I owe nothing , so why annoy me lol.

I received a call today 14.5.21. from this company. They told me to press one but I put the phone down.

This is cabot financial. very aggressive at chasing up debts

Totally a scam call, do not pick up or call back.

Same as all others. They are asking about debt with a name I don't recognize. It's some kind of scam but I don't know how they are working it. I just ignore and delete the texts.

Called on a Saturday Morning asking for me by name and asking me to clear security by giving name and address details they refused to tell me what it was about so I refused to give any details, they suggested I check them out on line as Cabot Financial I told them I didn’t want whatever they were selling and hung up. I have a fully satisfied IVA and Court papers to prove it if they pester me I will take legal action against them.

Received today seems strange just changed my phone to Sky and now I am getting debt collection calls albeit number is blocked and sky are aware of this number. I just checked in my blocked numbers and they had blocked it for me as spam or scam. Yes I have debts, bills utilities and I have yet to fall behind I have no intention of answering and formally added to blocked list I suggest if you can block it- but someone needs to sort out debt collectors supposed to go for bad debt arrears court judgements not the ones that pay- words can not describe the contempt I have towards these people do your job properly

Ask for my wife by name but on my phone saying she had outstanding debts but doesn't have any debts or even own a credit card

This cal came at 4.46pm on 4 May 2021. It was left on my answering machine. Ref: # 334794. It stated that this is not a sales call. I have blocked this number.

I have had the number ring me, but i ignored it like i do all numbers that i do not recognize in case its a scam to get to my money. I have never given my phone number to cabot financial, neither should they have been able to get it from anyone else. All debt collection firms are underhanded scams with no legal contractual rights to take money from anyone.

This is NOT a scam. It is from the 3 phone company. I recently bought a 4G Broadband box from them which I returned. I received a call from 03333381031 number and not familiar with the number, I thought it was a scam, because the person on the other end was incoherent. However, I have since received an official letter regarding my 4G Broadband box and 'Tel. 03333381031' is at the top of the letter!

Called my new, unregistered Sim card! Harrasing voicemail left. How do they know owns the number when it's not registered?!

What the FCA say.... Whilst we don't have any specific rules to state how many times the firm can contact you, we would expect them to adhere to our rules and guidelines in our handbook. We have High Level Principles outlined in the FCA Handbook which includes PRIN 2, relating to skill, care and diligence. PRIN 6, treating customers fairly, and PRIN 7, communicating information to consumers in a way which is clear, fair and not misleading. https://www.handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook/PRIN/2/?view=chapter

This company calls at all hours even half seven at night and early mornings, all they say is they work theses hours, they have no consideration for anyone. They should be stopped

I just did an online chat with them and they seemed helpful in removing my number from the account. Similar to a lot of comments, the call is for someone else who used to have my number. You can do the online chat on Lowells website.

Who knows what this about, but they seem to like my phone number. I will continue to block the number...

Same experience as the other people who have posted messages here. They say they are Lowell and want to work with me to help me pay off a debt for energy - when I asked what type of energy they said electricity or gas. They didn't seem to know and wanted bank details before they were prepared to go any further. Very aggressive, threatening court action, bailiffs, etc.

Called tonight. I answered no-one on the line. We don’t have any idea why they called !!

They have been sending’Mr Richard Jones’ text and phone calls for years. I keep telling them I’m not him.

CABOT FINANCIAL DEBT COLLECTIONS

Cabot chasing debts up

I stupidly answered the call - they asked me to confirm date of birth and post code - they then said it must be related to a previous address as name and dob were right but address was wrong - they then said would I be willing to send them proof of address - I said no - they said unless you send us that then we cant tell you what the call is about and it will be ongoing - so I said fine, if you wont tell me what its about then I am not providing you with any other information - they were pleasant enough and not threatening at all - but I very nearly fell for the whole thing
