MIL Collections Ltd had an issue with the accuracy of the information !!
I received an email claiming to collect an outstanding balance on behalf of Shell Energy. However, I have never been a customer of Shell Energy.
The email included specific details about billing and payment, which raises concerns about how my data was obtained. I believe this to be a fraud attempt and possible data breach.
I have taken steps to block the sender and report this incident here. I urge others to do the same and not respond or send any payments.

Unprompted review
Reply from Milcollections
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
MIL Collections Ltd [MIL] has no record that the publisher of this review is a client of MIL.
The nature of the review suggests that the comments are written by a 3rd party and not a genuine client which is against the terms of use of the Trustpilot platform.
The High Court case between BW Legal Services vs Trustpilot (KB-2021-000573) His Honour Judge Lewis ruled on 12th June 2024 (66.) Quote: “Of course, it needs to be remembered that most of these reviews are likely to have been posted by the people against whom the claimant has sought to recover money. These third parties are not clients or customers of the claimant. It seems extremely unlikely that any of them will have sought out the claimant or wanted to be the recipient of the claimant’s debt recovery services.”
The comments therefore appear to have been mistakenly provided by a 3rd party and may even be referencing; our clients services, client procedures and client experiences - which is also against Trustpilot's terms of use.
We would recommend that the review is removed, and contact details provided by MIL or available on our website are used to contact MIL if a dispute or query remains outstanding on an active account.
MIL has been granted permission by the Financial Conduct Authority to offer the services of debt recovery and will not indulge in what would be a breach of purpose under the General Data Provision Regulations by engaging publicly with the author of this review or other 3rd parties for whom we have been instructed to recover money from.
MIL has not given Trustpilot permission to facilitate review’s nor has MIL illegally solicited 3rd parties to publicly post comments about their experience.
