The exact number +441782971401 could not be verified with reliable, up to date public sources in this session. Available listings generally categorize UK numbers by type (landline/mobile/premium) and flag spam risk, but do not reliably confirm the owner without subscriber data. Proceed with caution when answering or returning calls. 1. Likely type and potential owner: UK number blocks often show as landline or mobile with inferred range holder; specific subscriber identity is not publicly disclosed, so attribution here is uncertain. Premium rate or institutional flags are possible but not confirmed by solid evidence. 2. What people say online: Public facing lookup tools report varying levels of risk scores and user reports; many show generic warnings or spam flags but lack subscriber level confirmation. 3. Association with scams or spam: Some public databases flag numbers as suspicious or high risk; however, definitive fraud or phishing attribution cannot be confirmed from available sources. 4. Public exposure/leakage: No clear evidence of a public leakage or data breach tying this exact number to a leaked dataset; standard public directories show operator and number type but not subscriber name. 5. Advisability of answering: Do not answer or call back without independent verification; consider screening or using message options and reporting any unwanted contact to relevant authorities if persistence occurs.

41Answered and pressed 1 after them ringing a few times. Lady asked to speak to me using my maiden name. Been married over a year. Advantis calling to collect a dept on behalf of virgin media. Left virgin in November with no dept. (Also updated my name change with them when I got married) However I'm getting dept letters for £20 from them in my maiden name. Advantis said they sent me a letter but I didn't get one just the virgin bill. Explained to the person I have no dept and that i talked to virgin about it in January. They advised I call virgin back to clarify then call them back to update. Possibly scam call. Better not to answer.
Third party interloper Advantis are a debt collection company for Thames Water. There is no signed contract with either but don’t ignore them answer their call and tell them they are. Third party interloper and you have no contract and if they continue to harrass. you you will send them your fee schedule and then you can charge them for your time. They cannot ever win in court as there is no contract.
Sent me an email with my full name and asked me to call them back to discuss a business matter. I left UK 5 years ago LMAO
Advantis keep texting same number as all on comments here They won't stop texting they rang once never answered n they left message But still they text Just keep saying they need to discuss some business with me Well I got 3 credit checks going n not one shows a link or new loan or card or any sort of account been open in my name Its a scam so do not ring that number they gave you Do not click a link they send you in messages Ignore n block Well the real advantis in Stoke on trent Isn't the same number at all as the one we all got told the ring I'll leave this link here of the real Advantis Debt recovery https://www.advantiscredit.co.uk/contact/ Its got number n email n address of the real one

Called to state they have sent letters - no letters received - this is a SCAM. I disagree with IAN-SAN who says "Do not ignore"- please DO ignore - don't let them waste your time - it all looks official but it is not - BLACKLIST THE NUMBER - and get back to enjoying what life has to offer !
Debt recovery agency. Do not ignore but a) check your Experian Credit Report for linked addresses and b) do not provide any more information than they already have (probably name and address). They will have reached you as somebody has a debt and is linked, maybe incorrectly or by fraud, to your name and address. Identity theft is not illegal in the UK and nor is apparently harassment. Doing nothing will potentially result in a bailiff contacting you and more trouble. If you are not the person they require for the debt then they cannot pursue a debt recovery against you. But you must make it clear as you will be treated as guilty until proven innocent.
Called me asking me to press 1. Blocked the number but just received an answerphone message from them saying they are Advantis debt collection company and want me to ring them back. I have no debt,
They couldnt give me any details and would not email me any information. Just demanded my mobile number but i dont have one
Do not answer!!! Tried to get all my details before disclosing the nature of the call. Scam.
Won't stop calling
El número 01782-971401 ha sido asignado a Advantis
Received a call this morning asking me to press 1 to proceed. Well that's not happening. It masquerades as a debt collection company, but I have no loans, no historical debt and a credit card balance of £0.
Automated call saying from Advansis and to press 1. Hung up and blocked but still being called daily and their system in leaving voicemails. Obviously a scam/phishing call

Keep calling and leaving voice mail messages even after I've blocked the number
Asked to speak to a Miss S, as this is a global company I need a first name at least to narrow the search down, refused and spouted waffle about data protection which I also quoted him back, caller asked to go through to the first Miss S in my directory which I declined to do, explained a second time that I need the initial or first now, again with the data protection waffle, politely told him to either call back and ask for the full name or contact them by email, he launched into his waffle for a third time, I told him goodbye and hung up, reading this page tells me to add him to my time wasters list.
Called my work number - told me they normally send letters first (they havent) nor have i had a message. They said they're hired by companies as they can find contact information etc. Wanted me to confirm my name, address and DOB - told them absolutely not and to remove my work number. Absolute joke!!
Keeps calling asking for you to press 1 to speak to an adviser .... yeah right if it was legit the adviser would be calling you in person ... fishing... scam ... blocked ... got on with life
Chasing a debt that I don't owe. Totally pain in the a**. Do not like it when you know the law on the matter either.
Rude Person, Asked who was speaking I replied who are you after, they again repeated who was I, I said you called me, you should know who you want to speak to, They asked why was I being difficult. I repeated You called me I didnt call you, rang my mobile. British Gas debt collectors

automated voicemail
Blocked number but they leave an automated voicemail and so its as annoying as if id answered
Scam dont answer
some automated system saying something about a car accident
Left me a message a few weeks ago, left me a voicemail today saying they needed to resolve a personal business matter and that I needed to press 1 to speak to one of their advisors. I did some research and found that they are a debt collection company, however I am 19 and have never taken any financial aid so cannot possibly owe anything.
constant calls from 7am to 9pm
Block the number use an app call the police about them notify what their doing is cold calling which is in the law is a big no. Companies Cold call people, just to get a fish in the net. Dont you ever give information about who you are, name, address so on unless you personally contacted them yourself. Cold Calling is a crime and lots of companies do this everyday. Just dont take any notice of them unless you know whats its about.

Keeps calling me Saying I owe £3,000,000 on a credit card debt from 2010 it was only only £2,000,000 when I had to cancel the card.
They called me and asked me to press 1 to connect to an adviser. No reason given for the call. No reason to be calling me other than a scam! Eat my shorts Advantis, no money for you here!
Left me a message today saying they need to speak with me about a personal business matter, thought it was a bit odd & then realised the same number sent me a message a few weeks asking if I’d received a letter from Adventis & to call them to resolve the matter or make a payment..
They rang my mobi i missed the call & rang them back. They asked for account number i didnt have anything with them so said I havent got one, tehy said they would put me through to someone who could help, when i didnt give them any info & asked who they were & what they done, they said many different things about personal or buisness debt/loan/etc & if I gave them some of my details they would look it up for me.... I didnt. I have blocked this number but they still are able to leave messages for me to call them but my phone poped up with "Poss Scam" so I am pleased i didnt give them anything :) My advise is dont give them a thing, dont even talk to them ! Block & delete messages ! Good luck with getting rid :)
I never answered the number and blocked it. They just kept calling and the same voice message was left. VERY annoying!
Blocked number.. still calling me every day!.. have done for the last 3 weeks and counting.. just an automated voice saying ive been in a accident..
Ask YOU to press 1 to be conneted to THEIR Advsor SCAM
Called telling me they could recover money I was owed from an accident. Wouldn't say who they were. Couldn't tell me who I was. How could they know if I'd been in an accident if they didn't know who I was? Scam
