CCScollect

[jasonboo]

Hello

I'm getting calls and texts from CCSCollect to my work mobile -this is not registered to me/my address. I suspect they've found my number on my work website. I'm wondering whether CCSCollect are phishing/[causing problems]. I misunderstood the first call and thought they were offering me a "personal massage" and realised it was a "personal matter". I think this misunderstanding probably saved me as they kept asking for the first line of my address and would offer no information until I'd provided this.

 

I don't think they have my address and I suspect that it's probably the result of a search for my name.

 

I'm tempted to ignore this but wondering whether I should call them to try and sort this out. As far as I know I'm not in any debt. I've been googling about and a few places recommended a credit report which I've done. I can find one trace enquiry from Severn Trent Water which seems odd as I live in the Southern Water region.

 

I've had a few similar things happen over the last two years including bailiffs chasing up parking fines and early knocks at the door asking for people who've not lived at my address (as far as I know). I've managed to sort these out usually with proof of living at the same address for over 10 years and not having owned or driven a car in over 10 years.

 

Anyone else getting these. There does seem to be a lot of stuff about CCS on the internet. If there was a letter I'd probably worry and contact them but calls / texts to my work number just feels like [causing problems].

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks

Jason

I would not give them anything, although they will undoubtedly say that it is for identification purposes, if they had your address they could write you a letter.

Phishing trip, probably incorrect identity if you have no debts, ignore them and never give them any personal details. Check your credit file just to be sure nothing is showing up that you may have forgotten about.
