This number calls me several times a day, anyone know who they are?

Same here - 3 calls in the last 30 mins!!

Debt collection agent for vanquis bank

i had a missed call from this number-rang it back but pressed 141 before the number, a guy picked up saying 'your through to Andy can i take your post code' when i asked what company i was speaking to he just kept asking for my post code!!!   strange!!

I just called this number back and they told me they were calling on behalf of vanquis bank

they don't give up do they, i love the silence option on my phone

I've had several calls today, but I don't know who they are, as I don't answer unknown numbers

Aye, its vanquis. A nice trick they do after silencing the call is fone off a mobile number. Too many to report.

Yes it is them,keep getting calls even though im not in arrears!!!

I had the same experience of "You're through to .... can I take your postcode?", I knew straight away that meant it was someone chasing money so I hung up.
They then called back immediately on another number!

Now I just ignore it, I don't owe them anything outstanding

I keep having the same problem but they still keep ringing once to short to even be able to answer it anyone else had this problem?

Hello

its vanquis and you cant get rid of the idiots. been calling my mobile every hour from 8 am to at least 8pm looking for somebody ive never heard of but they wont be told. ive had this going on since january and now ive had enough its making me ill. ive got a whistle off my grandson and when they start calling in the morning they will get a blast and i will do it every time they phone. ive got 14 different numbers stored on my phone for them and they will get sick before i do and i dont care if i deafen anyone im 82 years old and i dont need this.

This number is from the collection agency "Impact" they say that they act on behalf of "Vanquis Bank". It is infact "Vanquis Bank".
If you owe them money, then they are quite within their rights to contact you. Heres the thing that not many people know. When you apply for a card - with any Bank or Building Society, (you probably give them your home and mobile number just as they ask) and you don't make a payment, they can only contact you a maximum of 3 times per day. So, if you have given them both numbers thats a maximum of 6 calls per day. Any more than this is classed as harrasment, and you are quite within your rights to contact them and ask them to cease. It's usually a good idea to e-mail them, and let them know you are going to send a copy of this to the OFT at enquires@oft.gsi.gov.uk. All e-mails now are leagally kept by your ISP for a period of 2 years.

Hope this helps!

Does that also work that they can call you 3 times a day off each of there numbers? My ex owes them money and they keep calling I have told them he does not live here bur they keep calling at least 2 or 3 times an hour from different numbers I have just given up answering now.

It is in fact MBNA, who provide the umbrella for Vanquis Bank, and more importantly the finance. If you do owe money to any creditor I would advise you acknowledge it early and try to make some sort of token gesture towards reducing your arrears, remember anything is better than nothing and you will at least remove them from your back. If you can’t and I mean really can’t pay, tell them, they can’t take what you don’t have. As far as possessions go, the law is clear. They can knock but have to be let in, don’t let them in and they can’t do anything. As far as putting their foot in the door, call the police, immediately, as only creditors for the court can force entry, anyone else (Financial institutions, banks etc) cannot. If, however you let them in, they can come back anytime and force entry. Don’t let them in and they can’t do it, it is breaking and entering if they do without the prior invitation. Fear is a big factor, bottom line; you have the control and the law on your side. Don’t panic. On the other hand it won’t just simply disappear...

Very annoying getting calls from them as I am a bit hard of hearing so no good them keep calling me as I won't answer their calls.

I have emailed them and written to them to explain this - but then they call me back!

What idiots!

they have many numbers they change them if you do not answer after a while so far I have four for them i am not sure how many more numbers they could have we shall see every week they ring me i get a new number to add to my collection I also have written and told them i will not answer there calls but they try and ring me back to.
Strange company don't seem to get the message really

I have had average 25-30 calls every day, they call from 8am - 9pm, Everyday. INCLUDING 8am SUNDAY MORNING. Surely that isnt legal is it :/

As it states above, 3 calls per day per number........but........are they allowed to make different calls from different numbers, ie they call from 5 different numbers, then they can call 15 times a day without it being harrassment ?

Please help
