Good for you, and I mean that, no sarcasm intended. The limited experience I've had with debt collection agents has not been positive. I've had one lot threaten to take me to court for a debt that wasn't mine. Despite me providing photographic proof (ie my passport) that I wasn't the person...

Re: Re: Is this a scam?? Coz it'll cost us all nearly 10p a minute to waity on hold for half an hpur or so. Whatsmore the bullying bastards of that debt collection agency will earn money out of us doing it. Now, if someone can find their geographical number, it'd be worth it. Fork Me

0845 is "local NTS", priced at 3.95p peak, 1p evenings and weekends. To be totally up to date, try here: http://www.downloads.bt.com/pricing/SpecialisedNos.pdf WARNING: This is a pretty hefty pdf document! Fork Me

No, for a while you copuld get an 0870 for free. The company supplying get a proportion of the price, you get a cut and BT (ot wehoever the originating company are) get the rest. There aren't (AFAIK) any companies providing them for free any more. As soon as the contract is up for renewal on...

OK, just remembered, somone gave me a list of BT charges recently. This is the first time I've used it. 0870 is "National NTS, 7.91p a minute daytime, 3.95p evening, 1.5p weekends. 0871 numbers cover a range of prices, it's the numbers after that that determine which price. 0871 70 is...

Which, when you're on hold for half an hour is £3 a shot. I have an 0870 number myself, the only people I give it to are my bank, ntl, SEEBOARD etc etc etc. It just redirects to my normal landline. The big companies pay extra to phone me and I get 2p a minute each time they do. Fork Me

....and a bunch of wanky bully boys by the looks of things. http://www.touchglasgow.com/business/list/bid/2652241#reviews Type their name into Google and you get loads more of the same. Scum, nothing more. Fork Me

Fair play my arse. There's no way I would have called them back on a premium rate number. If a company wants to get hold of me then they can call me, not expect me to call them. If I'm not available and they leave a message it should be GEOGRAPHICAL or cheap number. They're just tyring to rip...

If it's urgent they will call you. f*** 'em, I hate firms that use that sort of tactic. I had a great one from the Student Loans Company, they phoned me and when I picked up I got a recorded message asking me to phone them on a National Rate number. Damn rude if you ask me, I refused to ring...
