Sent a text telling me they are collecting a debt from Newcastle CC, demanding payment of £159. But couldn't tell me what for.
Stalked me to my new address and continues to harass me by phone. In an age where stalking is illegal, bullies like this which are employed by councils are the very last vestige of legal stalking. This dimension is crumbling. Thankfully!

Phone number: 07800005130. First text received stating instructed to sue for unpaid council tax! Demanding £413.01, deleted text. Second Text received stating arrangement for £100 per month agreed, on both it says call this number. 0151650480 ref: Jacobs. What a scam.

Called and managed to bypass the auto reject already set up on this number. Asking for someone I've never heard of claiming that as I've ignored the deadline for payment they are coming to remove goods. Good luck with that set of a holes.
