DRC debt GIANT SCAM
Today I received a letter from DRC debt demanding £751 for an original debt of £186, enclosed was a claim form against me with regards to an unpaid debt with Raising Smiles. This letter follows on from several texts in the past month, with extortionate demands for money to be collected on behalf of Raising Smiles. I tried to phone but all I got was a very rude and aggressive lady, Mrs Dixon, real debt collectors don’t act like this, real debt collectors are civil and try to help you. Apparently this debt relates to an advert published 2 years ago, for which I received no invoice, no bill and no statement of any outstanding debt. I reported this company to Action Fraud and received a crime number. Action Fraud advised me that this company DRC has all the hallmarks of a scam, and not to pay them anything. I also contacted Citizens Advice, who also advised that this would appear to be a GIANT SCAM. In the same post, today, alongside the DRC demand letter was the reply from Action Fraud whom I see several of you have also contacted. I do hope that no one pays anything to this DRC company, however it is a very clever scam and involves at least 2 other companies, and I will admit I nearly paid as initially I thought it was genuine.
