And register with the TPS. Any company that calls you out of the blue, fishing for work or sales, is BREAKING THE LAW, and you can take action against them.
Incidentally, the OP's call might not have been a scam, if the company that made it contacts 100 people a day, maybe 10 (probably 75!) of them have had recent loans, they might be in the category of people mis-sold loan insurance. The company will get that money back and take a cut, it's worth them trying the scattergun approach and making loads of calls.
They aren't scamming anyone, lots of people WERE mis-sold insurance, but you don't need help to get it, or sign up with agencies, you simply write to your lender and ask for it back. Most big lenders are writing to anyone who MAY have been mis-sold anyway, to ensure they comply with the law and reimburse everyone. This company probably is just using a bought database from somewhere that sells high-cost items, and assuming you will have got it on the knock, like so many of us have.
They are in the same vein as the people who keep texting me telling me I may be owed up to £4375 for my accident. What accident? And note the word "may". Just chancers, legit companies, but not helping do anything that anyone with half a brain can't sort for themself, for free.
Next time they call, take their name, ask them to strike you from their database, and that you will call the police if they call again. |
