I have been getting calls from them…scammers

I have been getting calls from them just after renewing my mobile contract with EE. I ignored the calls and texts. The calls comes at awkward times hence why I ignored them. Just today I answered and so annoyed as I terminated the important call for them. I got their texts and decided to call them quoting the reference on the text. They wanted me to go through security checks which I did and before completing all I asked what is this all about. Was told I owe EE, am I ready to make the payment of whatever amount I couldn’t even hear it well. I was so annoyed as I know that I don’t owe EE a penny. She went on to say she will make EE a note to find out why they brought the case to them yet I am still with them as my network provider. I called EE afterwards and asked them about this EPfinancial. EE said my account is up to date and the next bill is on the date we agreed on. They warned me about this scams that apparently so many people are reporting the same incidents of being called claim they owe EE. I fear identity fraud more than anything, I refused to confirm my email but has given my DoB. I will report it to the police tomorrow with all their texts, calls and ref numbers.

Beware Scammers

BEWARE! Received a demand out of the blue for money I do not owe to EE. They even got my address wrong which makes me think they’re scammers.

Can't really rate as there is a somebody reaching out under your name. Was contacted numerous times regarding money owed to EE. My account is fully upto date. Please please check before anybody pays the false company any money. Is it possible for the legitimate company to perhaps look into this scam if your not already .

Debt scam to exploit vulnerable people into giving them money

I’m writing this genuine review of my experiences with EPFS to warn other people that this company tries to claim that individuals owe money when they REALLY don’t, so people can then relax hopefully.
Check all the one and two star reviews to get the real picture.

First and foremost, I have never contracted, or
bought anything, or let alone even contacted Ionos, the company that EPFS claim I owe money to. And this is the same for hundreds of people in different reviews of them, on the internet. So it is not coincidence. Check the “who called me”website also, for more reports of their scams.

EPFS try it on with people, and the vulnerable will give in to their persistent nuisance calls, letters, and emails. The companies say they don’t have any records of any debts. EPFS hide behind claimed links with professional institutions, but really they ought to be struck off for misleading practices. They wouldn’t have to defend themselves so vehemently if there was no cause.

UPDATE to respond to their self defensive pretence of being decent, when they deliberately harass people they don’t owe money, into thinking they might have to pay. All over the internet there are reports of this debt scam by them.
They’ve asked for more information, but I don’t want to give them my contact details. To avoid more harassment from their fake debt scam.
And the window has passed now to give EPFS my references, anyhow.

Original review.

As all the other 1 star reviews (the other ones I suspect are not genuine, as the 1 star reviews tell the real story) This company sends fraudulent messages, and emails, and letters claiming one owes money to a company they’ve NEVER contracted with, and so DO NOT owe money too!

This point is so important as they write
disingenuously polite replies here, claiming that they are simply middle men acting on behalf of their clients.

This is simply NOT TRUE!

I presume they somehow obtain people’s confidential information and try to exploit it and scam people into paying money that they DO NOT OWE!
An unsuspecting vulnerable person will probably be scammed. Hence my writing this review warning via this review website.

People have asked them to stop their fraudulent claims, but they carry on doing so.
They will reply on here with their “I’m sorry you are having a bad experience” and “we are an official organisation and regulated etc”
But yet they persist with their desperate claims for money “on behalf of their clients”
The clients they claim to represent have never heard of them.

*So people do not be fooled, rest assured that you do not owe them money if you’ve never contracted with the companies they claim to represent*

We could all get together and sue them for damages, and their persistent harassment.
It is illegal to try to get money from people that they DO NOT OWE!
So people I recommend going no contact and eventually they will stop their fraudulent claims and harassment. Don’t engage as they use your information again for more related false claims.
If they don’t stop harassing me, then I shall report them to all the financial regulatory bodies, and trading standards, and to the relevant consumer protection bodies, and appeal to trust pilot to take down their fraudulent business reviews here.
As they are clearly using this site to whitewash their exploitative business practices.

In the name of decency and fairness, cease and desist! or you will be hounded by the press, and on social media, as the rogue company you are, trying to scam money out of people that do not own it.

All over the internet already, this company has been flagged as scam, and is notorious, and linked with fake claims and victims have stood up to to their fraudulent harassment for money.

I have had enough stalking from this company and will get them to stop harming innocent individuals.
This review is not harmful to the public and is a service to the every day people who get hassled and stressed by EP financial services. Retitled correctly as EPFS for exploiters practicing financial scams

Hi,

Unfortunately, the information in this review is incorrect and appears to be intentionally damaging. While we respect all customers' views and will always aim to remediate where something has gone wrong, it is also important that we provide feedback where the information shared is false.

Any attempt at contact from our firm is legitimate and in no way fraudulent or a scam. Creditors assign us to provide support, typically when a customer is in arrears, as we are well placed to help, treating customers with understanding and compassion. This is a normal initial stage when a customer is in arrears, the Financial Conduct Authority regulates our services, and our goal is to connect with our client's customers and support with an affordable and sustainable solution.

For example, we are proud of our partnership with the Free Money Advice Debt Charity StepChange through the StepChange Direct programme. Through this partnership, we offer customers access to free money health checks and budgeting tools and ensure we can offer the right support based on their individual circumstances.

The positive reviews you suspect are not genuine are all from customers who have engaged with our helpful team. The one-star ratings you have referenced will occasionally be related to situations where our service has not met our expectations. Unfortunately, though, many are from situations where we have not engaged with the person writing the review, and a view has been formed without speaking to our team.

We are keen to resolve any complaint you may have, as you mentioned harassment and potential contact regarding a debt you do not believe is owed. However, as we cannot identify if you are a customer from this review, we have reached out to you via TrustPilot for further information.

You can also email our Complaints team directly at complaints@myepfs.com. If you have contacted us directly and are not satisfied with our response, you can refer your complaint to either the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) for accounts formed under the Consumer Credit Act (such as credit cards or loans) or for all other debt types the Credit Services Association (CSA), the trade body for our sector. FOS can be reached via complaint.info@financialombudsman.org.uk or you can download a CSA complaints form from www.csa-uk.com/page/complaints .

While we appreciate you may have differing views, we hope you understand we have replied in good faith to ensure we can accurately respond to any claims made about the legitimacy of our services.

Kind Regards

Very understanding staff

The lady I spoke to today listened to me and understood my situation she also talked me through everything I needed to know. I genuinely felt she wanted to help me and she guided me in the right direction. I would never be worried to speak to this company again especially with the lady I spoke to today.

Very nice polite people helped to get through to EE phone folk that I was not due the money that they were hounding me for. This non-existent debt was thus eventually written off. :)

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. The response below aims to answer the various points you have raised.

We are sorry to hear you have felt harassed by our attempt to make contact. Please be assured that any attempt at contact from our firm is never intended to harass. In our communications we place a lot of emphasis on affordable payment options for debts owed. We also include information on free budgeting tools in our letters and offer further support via our partnership with Free Money Advice services. While our focus is on support, it is also necessary to ensure details of possible next steps where we can’t establish contact are shared.

We are not an active Debt Purchaser and have not purchased the debts we may have contacted you about. Creditors assign us to provide help, typically when a customer is in arrears, as we are well placed to help, treating customers with understanding and compassion to reach affordable solutions for their circumstances.
As we have not purchased the accounts you have referenced, we would not provide direct default updates to the Credit Reference Agencies; where applicable, the Creditor manages this, and details of potential positive or negative impacts are outlined in any letter we issue. This is also true of any further action outlined where contact cannot be established. We are an intermediary, focusing on reengaging with customers and supporting them with affordable and sustainable solutions. Where we can't help, we close the account received, and the Creditor decides on the appropriate next steps to recover any remaining arrears.

We’d be happy to support your request to pause communications, however, as we can not identify any associated accounts from this review, we have reached out to you via TrustPilot for further information. Please provide them with your EPFS reference number(s).

Alternatively, should you believe the account(s) we have contacted you about are settled, we’d encourage you to contact our Complaints team so we can investigate the matter with our client on your behalf, as should a mistake have been made, we are keen to resolve it. They can be reached at complaints@myepfs.com.

Kind Regards
