This number called our Reception and there was an automated response saying "For the attention of General Enquiries". It continued "this is a personal business matter, to find out more contact Avanta on 01782401193." They actually called from 01782 354407. We did not call back. We looked up the number and realised several people had complained already.
Had two calls now asking me to call them. If you do then they consider you to have consented to them being able to phone or message you at any time thereon (I used to provide IT support to a similar ‘credit’ agency so I know their mechanisms), so DON’T make contact - just block - unless you know for certain that there is a genuine dispute in progress in which case you should have claimant or court paperwork you can respond to.
Partially inaudible message but gave website of Advantis Credit and return telephone number 01782 971403. I presumed this was a scam.
They are on behalf of HMRC and are using a power dialler to ring numbers and are actually breaking the law as they are operating what is known as "Silent Calls" I dont owe HMRC anything, in fact they owe me £1520 tax rebate so why they ring me is a mystery
Many calls to our land line-when answered met with corrupted recorded message. Won’t be answering again.
They keep phoning me regarding a Tax debt they say I owe. Running my own Accountancy business, then I am sure I would be the first to know if I owe anything. Suggest that everybody ignores their calls
Over the past couple of weeks I've had text messages saying 'This is an urgent message from Advantis. We have a personal business ... I don't open the message so don't know what the rest of it says. I've also had phone calls which go to voicemail and say they have written to me about an urgent business matter they want to discuss with me and to call them on this number. I have not received any letters from them, don't owe anyone money so won't be answering their calls or contacting them. I've not blocked the number as I'm hoping that totally ignoring them makes them give up. I've joined the Telephone Preference Scheme in the hope that it stops the calls and texts.
Very quiet message. Hardly audible but telling me they need to contact me and to ring back. I’ve had a very similar one recently but I blocked that number and will do the same for this one.
I received a call today from someone calling themselves Avantis credit. As said by other people they claim to have sent a letter but no letter has been received. We don’t owe money to anyone I would recommend that you don’t respond to the phone number they leave as I’m sure this is a scam. They are using scare tactics by saying they are a credit company to get vulnerable people to phone no doubt to get their personal details to scam them.
01782 401193 I received a call from this number asking me for money.to pay theme. I don’t owe money any body.
