Absolute scam

Received emails from these guys randomly about a debt owed to HSBC.

I closed my account 2 years ago and obviously any slight overdraft was settled before then.

Go slide a gherkin up your rear.

Who the hell is Don Lennox

I receive umpteen calls a day from this company looking for someone who I’ve never heard of. I’ve lived in my house for 24 years and have had the same landline number for all these years. It’s a recorded message so can’t even tell an actual human this as when I call the number on their website ‘contact us’ section, they want a four digit number which I don’t have because I’m not who they are looking for. I’m going to lodge a complaint with the FCA because these calls are unsolicited.

Who is still allowing this scum

Harassment without proof I owe you scum nothing soon you will receive a harrasment order.
22 calls in a matter of 2 days.
Today I was asked to contact you,you say paypal asked you for recovery, funny I owe nothing
Confirmed via PayPal my account was closed and payments came from my bank not PayPal.
I had no notification from paypal which today confirmed if I owed anything I would have been contacted, and I haven't.
And my account with PayPal would stay open until such debt was cleared I have all proof.
We can sort it out in court fine then I shall be serving you .
So you just carry on doing your dirty deed .
Your company I've reported to all relevant parties.
You are scum of the earth .
Only got to read on here says it all.
So just you back off,or see you in court with a notice from my solicitor, yes I have one .
So just back off and crawl under the stone you came from.

Do not even deal with this company

Do not even deal with this company. Con artists. Will not be getting a penny out of me regardless of how many letters they send. Still waiting for my SAR nothing after 40 days. Reported to The Ombudsman, and other relevant authorities. I will with no doubt take Moorcroft Debt Recovery to The Courts of Law which they clearly know nothing about. They have also failed to comply with my letter sent recorded delivery and via email to not harrass evidence stacking up nicely.

Reported to - Action Fraud
- Financial Ombudsman
- Credit Services Association

Complaint to - MOORCFROFT Compliance Team

Evidence package in development to send to:
Information Commissioners` Office
Financial Conduct Authority

SCAM

I can't believe these SCAMMERS are allowed to operate in the UK. Paypal just do something and stop these Scammers. Do not contact them, they are SCAM.

Horrendous company they call everyone…

Horrendous company they call everyone by their wrong name they can barely string a sentence together! They chase debt for non existing debt! They are an awful company and affiliated with BT so not ever deal with these people! They harass customers!

Helpful people, if your fair with them they seem fair with you.

I understand organisations such as Moorcroft receive mostly negative reviews due to the nature of their business. However I find it only fair to review based on my own experience.
I received a letter telling me that my debt had been transferred to Moorcroft. I contacted them via their website as due to my anxiety I don't communicate well by phone. Within 48 hours the phone calls stopped as I had asked for email communication only. I then submitted my offer of repayment, this was processed & accepted within a few days. Although I am going to be with Moorcroft for a number of years to clear this debt at least I am making progress without further charges or interest being added on. Overall in my experience if your reasonable with them they will help you find a solution.

Not a very helpful company at all

Not a very helpful company at all, had to phone them, after 35 mins eventually got an answer, and the person didn't even speak plain English, found them extremely rude and inpolite to say the least none understanding and very unprofessional. Seems like a cheap company Trying to be big.

Company that couldn’t care less about the person. All about the money

Have been locked out of my account and it will not let me reset the password. I have sent numerous emails to rectify, only for them to send an email back to state they are looking into the situation. However it has been months and still no further forward.
Sadly I don’t have hours to wait on hold so have given up on ringing. Clearly a company that take your money and run. They don’t give you options to change payments online so I just keep it the same. Very poor, ineffective company.
