Picture this: a voicemail from an unknown number urges you to call back for a debt claim. The voice claims to be a sheriff officer from Scott & Co, using a familiar name to create urgency. Before handing over any personal details, verify the caller by contacting the council directly using official contact details. Never share bank information or make payments without a written request from a recognised authority. If you suspect fraud, report the incident to Action Fraud and consider blocking the number. Keep a record of the call and any messages, as this can aid investigations and protect your credit rating.
Received an unwanted call from someone claiming to be Holly Hartley. It seemed AI-generated.
It appears this number is used by Scott Co Sheriff Officers for automated voicemail messages, designed to sound like personal calls; while they do possess certain powers, such as arresting wages for unpaid council tax and charging for the process
Debt collectors are calling! They demand payment or threaten higher charges for everyone else. However, don't pay these scammers. Instead, pay the actual creditor you owe. If you believe debts disappear after a certain time, think again - that's incorrect. If you can't afford to pay, contact your local Citizens Advice about bankruptcy options (be cautious of scammers posing as Citizens Advice offering debt help). If you're debt-free, check for ID theft or accounting errors. Also, if your address or number is new, the previous owner might have debts. Investigate and resolve this to avoid credit score issues.
Holly Hartley left a voicemail, claiming it was a personal business call, not sales, and urged me to call back. Clearly, it's Scott and Co chasing council tax debt. Despite knowing I'm unwell, they continue to harass me. They're my last priority right now!
I believe this number belongs to Scott & Co, a debt collection agency for councils, but fortunately, they had dialled the wrong number
I recognised the company, Scott & co, but I'm currently in a dispute with the company they're representing, so I'm not interested in talking to them.
Scott & Co sheriff officers attempt to coerce payment through intimidation, but they lack the authority to enforce any action.
I can confirm that this number belongs to Scott & co and is legitimate
This number is for Scot and Co.
A message was left on my voicemail from 01314778923, requesting that I return the call urgently to speak with someone named Holly Harkley, whom I have never heard of
