I believe this is actually Scottish Power. They knew how much was outstanding on my closed account and set up a direct debit with the details they already held for me. I just had to confirm the last two digits on my account.

This is not Scottish Power they are using the tactic of saying your account will be fined if you do not set up a direct debit with them. They can't answer questions on your account and this Indian caller couldn't even translate the word 'region'. BEWARE SCAMMERS!

Pretending to be Scottish power. As it was a 0800 number I rang them back but realised it was a scam. I blocked them so they sent me a text to say they needed to talk to me about my account which is in debt. Chancers
