O2 have account that was not due

Moorcroft were very helpful and sorted matters once they understood.

O2 asked them to chase an account that was not due. I explained my two visits to an 02 shop over 5 hours and their own team could not cancel the unused account. O2 would not allow Moorcroft to accept my instruction to offset the amount of another 02 account so Moorcroft responded quickly when I register my complaint. Have since sent me a cheque for £14!
Thank you Moorcroft for helping with this.

Completely unacceptable!

Moorcrot acted in a completely irresponsible and unreasonable manner. They assumed, without any proper verification, that I still live at a property where I last resided over four years ago. Now they are trying to charge me for an outstanding water bill from Thames Water, and to make matters worse, they reported my name to credit agencies in the UK.

Even after I provided them with the contact details of the current property owner, they have ignored that information entirely and are still demanding that I somehow “prove” that I haven’t lived there in years. That is not only ridiculous, but also unnecessary and completely unfair.

It’s not my responsibility to prove where I don’t live — it’s their duty to properly verify such information before taking such serious and harmful actions like reporting someone to credit bureaus.

This company shows a total lack of professionalism, responsibility, and common sense.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your business review. All feedback is very important to us as it helps to ensure we provide the best possible service, and act to achieve good outcomes, for our customers.

We tried to give you a call today but weren’t able to reach you.

Just so you're aware, the accounts we work on are passed to us in good faith, on the basis that our client has already tried to get in touch and hasn’t yet been able to resolve things.

To help avoid any issues with incorrect water bills, it’s important that the property owner or occupier updates the relevant water company when someone moves in or out. If this isn’t done, a bill could end up being sent to someone who no longer lives there.

Lastly, when we’re working on behalf of another organisation, we don’t make changes to individual credit reports. If you think there may be an error, you’re welcome to speak directly with our client or reach out to one of the three main Credit Reference Agencies for further advice:

- TransUnion Consumer Services Team PO Box 491, Leeds, LS3 1WZ Tel: 0330 024 7579 www.transunion.co.uk

- Equifax Customer Service Centre PO Box 10036, Leicester, LE3 4FS Tel: 0800 014 2955 www.equifax.co.uk

- Experian Consumer Help Service PO Box 8000, Nottingham, NG80 7WF Tel: 0844 481 8000 www.experian.co.uk

Debt management with manners

I found myself in debt and my account was handed to Moorcroft to recover. I was very worried about the prospect of a debt collector hounding me but this could not be further from the reality. Stepchange helped, but Moorcroft were very courteous and never put me under pressure once. I got regular statements by post, and I just kept paying what was agreed after my income and expenditure review. On an occasion where I did need to call them, their advisor was really polite and helpful, not in any way judgemental or looking down at me. Obviously they have a job to do and I can't ignore that I have a debt to repay, but they made a horrible personal situation a bit more bearable thank you.

Allowed someone to use my bank to pay their debt, not refunding my money

At the end of 2023 I notice £400 had left my bank account and been paid to Moorcroft over the course of a few months. I have NO debt with Moorcroft, had not received a letter or any form of correspondence so immediately called them up. I was told on the phone they didn’t have my details on file and were unsure why I’d paid them money so they went away and investigated.

It turned out someone had used my bank details to pay their debt, apparently police were involved but I’d get my £400 back shortly. This was back in Feb 2024. The deadline for receiving my money kept getting pushed back, I was told there was a processing delay and I’d get it end of June last year. It’s now almost 2 years since someone used my bank account and I still don’t have my £400 back.

I even have a case open with the financial ombudsman who are trying to get my money back for me but they have struggled to get in contact with Moorcroft, or get any reply from them.

Harassing customers

The company is really excessive keep calling everyday. There’s no need! Give customers a chance to respond before harassing them!
The response from the company stated they do not feel my comment accurately reflect the service I have been provided but they failed to mention how they have come to that conclusion….

Theives

This company overcharged my account and have sent a letter advising they cant issue a refund. That is MY money, you have zero right to it.

Edit-If you had let the phone ring i may have actually had chance to speak to you- you 'called' twice i had my phone in my hand and it rang for maybe a second, im guessing so this could just be marked as a call was attempted on my account.
I have spoken to your agents twice on live chat, i sent an email four days ago which has been ignored. I will not waste my time trying to call just issue my refund, you have no right to have taken extra.
