Awfull website

So I understand as a debt company, the reviews will never be positive, but I just need to outline how ridiculous this website is. The only way for you to access your account online is by having the Moorcroft reference number, even though there's supposed to be a secure portal that you can register using your email and password. When you go back to log in, you cannot log in using your email and password you just used to create the account. You can only use the Moorcroft reference number. Now, I don't know about you, but 90% of the times, most people will not have access to their Moorcroft reference number because they'll use it once to set up the account and never again. What's the point of asking for your email and password if you are unable to log in using this?

Very easy and reasonable

Very easy to deal with I didn’t even have to talk to any one on the phone it was all done through text and on there website it was quick and easy to arrange a payment plan I had to wait a couple of days for them to reply by email to see if they accepted the plan but it was very affordable so It wont impact my monthly income iv felt overwhelmed with other debt collection company’s but these I didn’t panic once I see how straight forward it was to set up a plan and how reasonable they are.

I don’t have enough experience with this company to provide a detailed review at this time.

I didn’t have much direct experience with this company, so I can’t comment in detail. The process was straightforward, but I would need more interaction to give a full review.

HMRC debt claim with no evidence and no explanation

Moorcroft sent us a letter claiming we owed an HMRC PAYE balance.

The first thing I did was log into HMRC PAYE directly. There is no debt. Zero matches zero.

I tried to resolve it through their web chat. The agent (name removed by Trustpilot's request) wouldn’t explain anything unless I first provided more information about the company. That’s where I stopped.

There are three BASIC things you should expect in a situation like this:

1. If someone claims you have a debt, they should not need to collect more information from you just to explain it. The reference number provided should already identify the case.

2. They should be able to show clear proof that the debt actually exists.

3. They should be able to clearly explain why they are the party authorized to collect or resolve it.

Moorcroft couldn’t do any of the above.

Instead, the conversation immediately turned into “give us more details and then we’ll talk.” That’s not how this is supposed to work.

I’m not calling them either. No reason to hand over a phone number when the underlying claim doesn’t check out.

Looking at other reviews, the pattern seems consistent. People question the debt, and the response is some version of “contact us so we can help.” That’s not an answer. It comes across as an attempt to gather more information rather than provide verification.

Based on this experience, the process felt less like a straightforward debt resolution and more like an attempt to gather additional information before providing any verification.

At a minimum, I would advise others to proceed carefully, independently verify any claims with HMRC, and think twice before sharing additional details until the debt is clearly substantiated.

Follow-up - 23 March 2026:

Following this review, I was contacted through Trustpilot and asked to provide additional personal and company information (including full name, phone number, and reference details) so they could “recognize” the case.

This is the same issue described above.

At no point has Moorcroft provided any proof that the alleged debt exists, nor explained the basis of the claim. Instead, the process again starts with a request for more information from me.

I am not comfortable providing additional data to obtain basic validation of a claim that should already be fully documented on their side.

If a debt is legitimate, it should be possible to:

1. Identify it using the reference already provided
2. Show evidence of the liability
3. Explain their authority to act

None of that has happened.

This follow-up request reinforces my original concern: the burden is being placed on the recipient to provide more information before any verification is offered.

#####

I am willing to review and respond to any evidence they provide that clearly identifies the alleged debt and its origin. They should already have sufficient information to locate this case from their own records. They may respond in writing to the company address on file, without requiring any additional personal or company data beyond what has already been supplied.

Follow-up to Moorcroft's response on 23 March 2026:

Thank you for the reply.

Identity verification may be appropriate at some stage, but it does not address the issues raised.

The concerns remain the same:

1. A reference number was already provided. That should be sufficient to identify the case without requesting additional information just to explain the claim.
2. No proof has been provided that the alleged debt actually exists.
3. No explanation has been given as to why Moorcroft is the party authorized to collect or resolve it.

Your response again asks for more information from me, but does not address any of these three points.

Providing a general HMRC link does not resolve this. Logging into HMRC directly showed no such liability.

As stated previously, I am willing to review any evidence that clearly identifies the alleged debt, its origin, and your authority to act. You should already have sufficient information in your records to locate the case. You may respond in writing to the company address on file.

Until then, the issue remains unresolved.

Fraudulent company

Moorcroft sent a letter to my home address claiming I owed money. When calling them they stated that Paypal had instructed them to collect a debt.
I contacted Paypal immediately who informed me that there was no money owed.
When I called Moorcroft back they stated that I was incorrect and the money was owed but they couldn't provide me with any details of the debt and it's origins!
100% scam artists.
BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS COMPANY.

A company with zero morals

A company that got involved in a case against me that was totally fabricated and untrue. If moorcroft are looking for positive reviews then speak to the victims of the multinationals first before threatening and getting heavy handed. AVOID where possible.

Insult added to injury

In my opinion, 1 star is to good for this organisation.
This is an update to a previous review.

I had made a formal complaint to Moorcroft following their unconventional tactics in relation to an alleged EE debt.
In response to my complaint, Moorcroft stated that they wanted to reassure me that it wasn't their intention to cause me any inconvenience or upset me, and all contact made by them would have been for legitimate business reasons.
I guess bullying and harassment are legitimate!!

Moorcroft upheld my complaint on the basis that I called them to explain that I would not be paying any sums as I was not their client and the debt was disputed. They also acknowledged my request for them not to contact me again.
However, my request for Moorcroft to cease contacting me was ignored. What followed was a bombarding of phone calls at different times during the day; some of which were calls made late hours in the evening and communication informing me about the debt to EE. My follow up phone calls to them were also ignored.
It was only after I formalised my complaint, requested that Moorcroft delete my data and threatened action did they listen to me. The excuse they gave was human error. It remains their human excuse and their sincere apologies for inconvenience and distress is also an excuse! It is just words and means nothing as they are not truly sorry and totally insincere.
Their decision to uphold my complaint and to offer me £25.00 as a resolution is a total insult and I have not accepted it.
I have since phoned Moorcroft to express my feelings about the offer and to reiterate the methods that they used, tantamount to bullying and harassment. I have also made clear that their practices were widespread in particular, to people like myself who are of pensionable age and potentially vulnerable.
I have not had a written response from their compliance department as yet and if this is not forthcoming, I will not hesitate to take the matter further.

It is not necessary to give your insincere response on this platform to try and convince that you are here to help resolve the issues. Neither is it necessary for you to ask me to contact you on a social media platform or to give you my name and personal contact details. You already have these but to identify this case further your Moorcroft Reference is: 006826880926.
