I agree with Andy that it could be something similar to that.
Try doing 'whocallsme'. That might tell you who is calling you. Creditors should not have your number now you have changed, and you can always ask your mobile provider to change your number as you are getting nuisance calls. They do recycle numbers, so it could be something to do with that.
Whenever I have to put a phone number in on a site now, I usually choose 0100000000 or pick a random number such as 012341234567890. It's usually accepted.

Although not related to my IVA, thought I would share another tactic that creditors used.
My mum died two years ago after suffering with dementia. During the early days of her dementia I went into the bank to explain that she was not handling her finances very well and how could they help. To cut a very long story short, they were not very helpful and continued to give my mum a credit card - which she joined a gym with (she was 73 years old at the time). I was not in a position to pay off the credit card and sent numerous letters etc etc and the debt went with mum when she died. I felt I had tried to work with them but they just did not want to know.
Anyway to get to the point. Four months ago a neighbour of mum's phoned me saying someone had phoned her looking for my mum. The way this person spoke to her she thought she was a close family friend. She told her about mum's death and she said the person got upset. The person would not give her her number but the neighbour did 1471 and got it for me. I phoned the number and yes you have guessed - it was a debt agency. I put the phone straight down, phoned the neighbour and explained who they were and told her not to speak to them if they phoned again.
The fact this person pretended to be upset gets me really annoyed ..... probably upset because they knew they were not going to get their money back.

Unbelievable that, absolutely disgraceful

There's always 'saynoto0870', that also checks numbers.
