scam. If they are going to execute a court order, they want you to be there and not warn you so you can bugger off somewhere.

TitInATrance · 30/05/2022 15:42

Looks like a scam to me. Doesn’t even identify the company ‘we’ refers to.

Regularsizedrudy · 30/05/2022 15:43

It’s a Leeds number isn’t it. Are you in Leeds?

LIZS · 30/05/2022 15:44

DRA is a debt company but I doubt they forewarn those they want to enforce against.

According to "whocalledme" it is a debt scam looked up by 412 people. Definitely ignore.

They can't even spell Martin Crossfield correctly. Crossfiled isn't a name.

Scam. But let us know if anyone shows up at 4pm

PinkBump2022 · 30/05/2022 15:51

@kirinm no I definitely don’t. I have no debt besides a couple of cars on finance if they are classed as debt but all payments upto date on both cars.

@MadeForThis sure will do it’s 3:52pm so not long now I’m sat casually with my cctv on the tv waiting for anyone to drive up to my house but all is quiet outside for now

MadeForThis · 30/05/2022 15:54

I wonder if you will get another text after 4pm

dementedpixie · 30/05/2022 15:54

Looks like a scam
If it was true the debt company would write to you not send a random text

dementedpixie · 30/05/2022 15:56

They want you to ring so you can be persuaded to pay them money to stop action against you (that doesn't exist). Do not engage with them

AyeUpMeDuck · 30/05/2022 15:57

I never trust a text.
I don't trust emails either or phone calls.

A proper letter is all I'll believe.

Pixiedust1234 · 30/05/2022 15:58

Scam. How could they possibly know your phone number? A letter is more usual, with a landline number and address...like a real business letter.

I saw the name as misspelt too. Its usually field not filed.

GinIronic · 30/05/2022 16:26
