08448113701

This is a company called PDCS They are a debt collection agency and seem to act mainly on behalf of utility companies such as Scottish Power

this number rang me earlier today asking for someone I had never heard of. When I asked them how they got hold of my (ex directory ) number he told me it would have been 'traced'. I then asked how someone of a different name would lead them to my number he said he would need a case number..of course as we are not the person they are looking for we dont have a 'case number'.he then hung up !!!

I just had the same experience. Called them back, they asked for a caee number, I asked who they were, was told they dealt with personal matters, Ah, I said, I have a missed call from you, at which stage he promptly put the phone down without asking for any further details???

DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER!!!  If they call you do not disclose any of your personal details.  This is a scam, if they demand money for an energy company, deal only with that energy company.

Remember that they must prove that you owe a debt which they can't because it's a scam.  Do not answer their calls.  They also use this number: 0870 850 3701.

Phoning them will cost you premium rate and makes them money from debts that don't exist.  Their address is 4 Blair Court, North Avenue, Clydebank Business Park, G81 2LA.  They are registered in Scotland No:287794.

They also have a landline number: 0141 951 3637

had a voicemail on my home number from a guy asking for a random person who i have never heard of... so i called back on the 0141 number qouted above, as they have now tried calling a few times and i don't want anymore calls. The lady asks for case number etc.. erm i explain I am getting harrassing calls asking for a random person... i eventually give her my phone number that they have been calling on, she finds the details on the system, gives the same name left in the voicemail who i explain I have never heard of.. to which she reveals the address! Data Protection Act broken i explain.. she repeats the address and i repeat that it is not my address.. and assures me there will be no more calls.. so where did they get my number from and some random address? a little worrying..

These people have left messages on my land line about 7 times now, for a Mr Bristow!!!  I have no idea who that is, so who knows how they got my number!  My gas & electric are not with eon, and i don't actually owe my supplier any money anyway!  I may ring them tomorrow on the land line number quoted above, as i am getting sick of having voicemail message left for Mr Bristow!

PDCS have phoned and text me several times asking for someone else regarding an EON debt luckily they text me the case number before i answered the call. Told the call centre that they were chasing the wrong guy and they promised to remove the number so lets see????

its so sad yous taking time to come on the internet to find out whos calling yous, has it ever crossed your minds yous do have a bill!!

i had a elec bill, which was 700 pounds, they helped me out, and accepted i pay ten pound a fornight, think thats very generous of them!!!!

Had a call frim these people last night and a text too. despite the fact that i've called their office and mailed them to confirm that they have the wrong number they claim the number has been erased from their records. When asked how if the number was deleted about a month ago I am still being contacted they had no answer! I have now contacted the CSA with a view to find out if they will do anything?

I had a call from this number, (08448113701). The guy claimed I owe money to an electric company.  I know it is impossible for me to owe money, as both my meters are prepayment meters.  Also if, as he said, I owe money to the electric company, I would have had an official letter from the company.

Got calls and letters from this company claiming I owe money on a prepayment meter???.... its like owing money on pay-as-you-go phone.... Rediculous. I am going to report this people to the Police. I believe there a scam and feel very sorry for those who fall for it.

The numbers I have for them are; 08448113701 and 07854948588, I'm hoping the latter is someone's personal mobile so I can call them when I get up at 5am! They rang me about a debt with scottish power on a prepayment meter... after calling scottish power they admitted the closing bill had been sent to the wrong address!

I have also noticed that they added £15.79 to the amount owed, which considering they buy the debt at a reduced price is a bit cheeky. Must also say in fairness these are not the worst debt people out there and btw they get their information from Experian I have found out. I don't work for them but wouldn't be surprised if some of these comments are from employees!

This number contacted my mobile today. For starters I have no idea how they even got my mobile number as its only used for close friends. I answered and said 'hello' twice and then the line went dead.

I understand that the person who lived in my building way over a year ago may have debts but any letters have been forwarded to them etc. and I have payed all my bills.

Bunch of idiots. Have been calling me and hanging up for days, if they call again I'm filing a complaint for harassment against them.

well to be honnest, see if yous pay your bills in first place. yous wouldnt be getting calls and texts would yous. and they didnt mess ure credit rateing up, u prob caused that your self.
there debt recoverY,they helped me big time.so accept the fact yous are in debt!!!

they rang me up asking personal questions....would not identify who they were / why they were calling until i gave them my details. jokers! needless to say after a few minutes I hung up. dont trust them.

with reply to the last comment by steve i do not agree with the comment as shown they advised him of a debt (that he should have paid when it was issued like the rest of us working class brits) and he would not have to deal with them. i have done research myself and came up with the facts that they dont purchuse debt that it is passed onto them by the persons owed, in my case being npower. I could not afford the debt but the collectors were very helpful and helped me get an atp in place. As of the charges they added i accepted as i did forget about the debt and was my own fault. so with regards to steve i think you should face your debts instead of trying to hide from them.

Credit rating was annihilated by these jokers house totally black listed into oblivion

i had the same experience as all of the above.
i rang the energy company who checked them out and surprisingly they are genuine.genuine but with zero customer service skills.
It is however their lack of professionalism, refusal to give me anything in writing and general ignorant atitude on the phone which made me suspicious to be honest. sounded like a bunch of scallys having a knees up.
PDCS GET SOME STAFF TRAINING...

not a call but a letter to my wife asking to call them on 0844 559 8349 or TXT pdc80210

This not going to happen may be another no of theres
