Hi @mcgregor28 This sounds very unusual and I would advise as others have that you should not open the door if/when the caller comes.  If the DWP want to interview you they would usually write to you and more commonly ask you to attend a Jobcentre Plus office.  If they are from the DWP I would expect them to leave a card which perhaps you can then follow up - but even then be cautious and ring a main phone number (such as the local Jobcentre plus office and ask for the person by name rather than calling a number on the card which is "direct" to the visitor.
Hope this all works out for you.

It wasn't me that was sent a letter or hand delivered one.

If you made any arrangements with a collection agency it may be a ruse to enable them to hand you a summons, specialy if you have been trying to keep up payments.

Is it possible that someone may have reported you for something? You'll be amazed at how many nasty people there is. Hopefully when you receive the letter you'll be able to sort out what ever is wrong and everything will be fine. Good luck.

If someone is considered to be vulnerable they will send a visiting officer out to deliver news/ explain something.

If this is the case they appear to be adding to someone's distress by the way they are going about it.

I'd have been worried sick too as to who was actually calling. I hope you let them know that
