This may be just a coincidence, but a DCA have been calling my sons phone quite regularly over the last couple of weeks and leaving voicemails as he is not answering the calls.
The slightly odd thing is that none of our accounts have been passed to this DCA (that we're aware of). Also, this phone number has always been my sons and has never been used by me or my OH so shouldn't be linked to any of our accounts - but the phone contract is in my name.
He's 15 years old and although he knows of the issues we're going through with debts and DCAs etc, he's obviously a little put out to be receiving unsolicited calls from DCAs... It makes me feel bad enough that I've had to tell him about the problems and involve him (ie in not answering the door, changing the home phone number etc) without him having calls to his mobile
Is there anything I can/should do about this? Should he answer a call from them and ask why they are calling a 15 year old? Or should he continue to ignore and hope they go away? I've not approached them yet, but wonder if the network provider (O2) could block the calls?
