Over the last week, my wife has been getting several phone calls a day about a 3mobile bill that HFO Services say is outstanding from 2004, for about £250, my wife and I don't believe we owe this money as we finished our contract with 3 payed the bill and moved to another provider.
The people phoning have been very rude and quite aggressive both to my wife and my 15 year old daughter, when my wife said she didn't owe the money and wanted proof from them that we owed it, they said it was up-to us to prove we didn't owe the money and we should pay now and then claim it back if the debt wasn't true.
I spoke to them yesterday morning at about 08:45 i was confronted by a very rude man asking for my wife, when i said she wasn't in, he said that "he thought she was and she was in bed and i should just get her, because this is a very serious situation and its getting out of control". (how very rude) after about 10 Min's of arguing with this man i eventually found out his companies name HFO, the man continued telling me how this serious situation was getting out of control and was getting more and more rude so I just put the phone down on him.
I believe that they are in breach of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, so I am going to put a complaint in about them, also I will write to them asking them to prove we owe the debt (which we don't) and that I don't want anymore phone calls and all correspondence should made in writing.
Has anyone else out there had dealings with this company? if so any advice would be great, as I have done some research about them and they seem a nasty piece of work, very threatening and making false and probably illegal threats to people. ( I read a thread that they had told a lady she should pay or they would send her to prison ) If this is true it is shocking behaviour.
