Why has 01782401121 contacted me?

01782401121 might have contacted you to pay a debt. But we cannot confirm this and they might have got the wrong number.

Debt collection businesses will usually only keep calling when you haven’t responded to their letters asking you to pay the debt. Debt collection agencies must send specific letters asking for payment if they later want to take legal action. 

If you haven’t received any letters, this might be because:

1. They have the wrong person
2. They weren’t able to trace your current address
3. They’ve sent them to the wrong address

In this situation, it might be worthwhile answering one call to find out why they’re calling. But let them do the talking as you don’t need to confirm anything over the phone. They should be telling you the details.

Can I ignore Advantis Debt Collector calls?

You shouldn’t ignore Advantis Credit Limited completely as you might be taken to court, but you don’t have to take their calls or reply to text messages. 

Instead, debt charities advise people to respond to the debt letter they received. You can respond in different ways without having to pay straight away – and maybe not at all. These responses are explained in detail in our How to Beat Debt Collectors post. 

How do I stop Advantis Debt Collectors from contacting me?

Use the FCA rules to your advantage to stop Advantis Credit Limited from contacting you over the phone or at certain times. You can send them a letter with your communication preferences, which must be respected. 

This is just one of the FCA rules that you can use to your advantage when dealing with Advantis. If they don’t respect your preferences, you can make an official complaint.
