Expert Opinion
The number +44 1782 971401 is almost universally reported as an Advantis debt‑collection operation. Callers leave silent or generic voicemails, claim you owe money you’ve never heard of, and push you to call back – a classic scam technique that validates your number and escalates harassment. If you receive such a call, let the message go to voicemail, never give personal details, and block the number straight away. Report the nuisance to Action Fraud and, if the caller claims to act for a utility like Thames Water, verify directly with the utility using an official contact method. Staying silent and blocking is the safest defence.

Looks like 01782 971401 belongs to Advantis Debt Collectors for Thames Water – they're calling nonstop with no messages, making you call back. I just block and ignore it, no worries.
The number 01782971401 is primarily used by Advantis Debt collectors on behalf of Thames Water, making repetitive calls without leaving messages, forcing recipients to call back. I've chosen to block and ignore these calls.
A recent call and letters from Advantis tried to discuss a water usage debt. Unfortunately, the water supplier has taken the matter to court and sent further threatening correspondence. Whether they have transferred the debt to the collector or not, I see no justification for additional intimidation. This illustrates how some water firms employ agencies like Advantis to bully customers.
Advantis have contacted me both by phone and in writing regarding a debt related to water usage. The water company has taken legal action and sent threats of further consequences. It seems unclear whether they have sold the debt to the collection agency or not. If they have, I question their right to send additional threatening letters. This is likely why water companies use firms like Advantis to bother people.
