Unknown number - 0870 2243400
Apr 27th, 2006 at 4:11pm
 
Does anyone know what company is behind this number? 08702243400 got a call that I missed on the mobile and don't want to call it back before I know who they are.

Thanks,
Soccergoods

I am sure that, if it is important, they will call you back.

If merely a scam for income to them they will hope that you will call them - on your mobile, of course...

I keep receiving calls from 0870 224 3400 at home. (Pretty much 4 or 5 times a day).  Being naturally suspicious I called the number from work.

Essentially I am greeted with

"Your call is being handled by 'Audix'.  Extension 4200 is unavailable and you cannot leave a message as their mailbox is full".

I have tried searching everywhere for this number and I keep drawing a blank. 

Does anyone else know who these people are as it's driving my wife and I nuts !!

A check reveals that the number was originally allocated by a company called Gamma Telecom.  You could try (be nice though) and see if they can tell you which company, as far as they're records tell, uses that number.

Note - they don't have to tell you and due to number portability Gamma Telecom may not now be the company that owns (not uses) that number.

This is exactly what is happening to me and I am tearing my hair out now!

Every half an hour they call my mobile then my landline, no one is there when I answer and I too recently applied for a loan. Sad

There's an obvious theme starting.
Could ehad74 & m1nnle please post the name of the company they used for the loan application?

And could any other members tell us if they have applied for a loan and what company?

The fact that they are ringing landline and mobile suggests that it's a company who you've given both to, rather than someone dialling numbers at random.

It was an online company called accepted.co.uk

I dont actually remember saying they had my permission to pass my details on to other companies, as this is what I think has happened. Do they need my permission to do this, as I am now getting calls from America, which is highly unusual.

well their website doesn't list an 0870 number but that doesn't mean they dont use them.

As for your personal details being passed on then that depends on what options they presented you with when you signed-up!?  Sometimes it can be, 'tick here if you agree for us to share your details...', or 'tick here if you don't agree for us to share your details...'

Companies these days have a habit of changing it so it maybe you needed to tick to say you did agree for them to share your details or you needed to tick to say you didn't agree for them to share your details.  Even if you specifically ticked not to receive any junk mail or for them to pass your details on then its nearly impossible to prove that they did as they will never admit to it!

As far as I'm aware no, not really.  Us consumers don't stand a chance with these companies that use ACE (Automated Calling Equipment) like this.  Remember it may not have even been www.accepted.co.uk that passed on your details!

You could ring Ofcom for advice (state you think they are using Automated Calling Equipment and explain everything they've been doing).  Personally though, don't expect to much from Ofcom as they have a habit of not caring much saying they don't want to use their powers (regulations) or pass the buck.

When you applied, did you check the web address and the  padlock at the bottom of the screen to make sure it was a secure server?

A quick llook at their site shows
For loan enquiries contact Central Capital:
Central Capital Ltd
1 Le Marchant Street,
St Peter Port
Guernsey
GY1 4HP

Tel: 08000 515 516

Email: customerservice@accepted.co.uk

For business enquiries related to the website:
Netbasic Limited
9 Funtley Court
Funtley Hill
Fareham
Hants
PO16 7UY

Tel: 01329 820 862

No obvious american link
Maybe their pages have been attacked by a program to trawl for numbers.

They are owned by Central Capital, who have offices in Norwich and Watford. Googling does not produce an american link.

Next, what is the american number you are receiving?
