We received the following enquiry by email last night (I've removed identifying details):
I am fed up getting phone calls from a number - 0800 * claiming to be Trust Deed Scotland. i've missed 2 calls and tonight a 3rd one and the person who called - ****** - knows all about me including where i live. I'd appreciate if you can remove me from your database as i have NO debt. thank you.
Now... the number wasn't ours, there is nobody working here that has the name mentioned, and we've never cold called a single person. We've therefore emailed the enquirer to let them know we're not involved. Please bear in mind as well that there are many firms that quote the trading name Trust Deed Scotland... this isn't anything to do with the best-known one.
So somebody has got hold of a list of telephone numbers and personal details and is calling the folks on it just in case they're in debt. Sounds like the activity of some dodgy lead generation firm or debt management cowboys?
No. Track the number online and it takes you right back to a firm apparently directly under the control of a certain insolvency practitioner outfit.
That doesn't sit right with me. What do you think?

Disgraceful, but not surprising. Having heard that certain insolvency firms take CCCS and other supposedly impartial advisors out for lunch. It really makes me sick[:(!]

I bet I could guess the firm.
They seem to use 2 methods or possibly 3. Buying leads from people who have applied for loans, checking the Register of Inhibitions or just picking random numbers.
