Literally had over 30 calls routed through this organisation. Every time I do a search with the number Nexbridge pops up as being involved. Numbers from as far north as Fort William to Wales. Am registered with TPS (both home and mobile) so should start billing them for my time as when I DO ask them to remove my number, another one calls the following day so now don't bother answering any calls I don't know on caller ID and block them once I've checked.

Guys nexbridge comes up whenever a poi caller calls me or someone else, so clearly it's a host of companies using them. Remember it's against the communications act to swear or threaten in communications, it's also illegal to swear down the phone or make malicious threats and if you call them swearing at them even though they're in the wrong you can get dealt with by the police. Communications act. Health and safety at work act-subsection phone rage and a number of other things. So be careful what you say back aswell

Had a call from this number and another 01330 472089. Tried to call these numbers back, to which came to no avail. I was just placed on hold and made to listen to dreadful hold music and a random voice saying "your call is important to is, all of our agents are busy at the moment" 6 mins on hold and then eventually get cut off with a woman saying "thanks for your call, goodbye" So it is pointless even trying I find out who or what these peoe are, based on previous comments.

Hi This is Alex from Nexbridge. Nexbridge is a Telecommunications Communication Provider. We do not operate or own call centres ourselves, we simply route the call traffic (in the same way BT, Cable & Wireless, etc do) from our customers and into the PSTN. Nexbridge would, however, recommend that should any recipient of these calls feel threatened, or receive abusive calls, to report those incidents to your local Police, providing details of the CLI calling you, making sure to record the date, time and frequency of the calls. If you are receiving nuisance/unwanted marketing calls and are registered with the TPS, raise those issues via your own communication provider's nuisance call bureau to ensure that the report is logged. This ensures that the appropriate processes and procedures are followed and information recorded related to your complaint. Finally, if you continue to receive calls that are unwanted, please raise your concerns to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), who have significant powers to fine repeat offenders who continue to contact and harass customers. A list of appropriate contacts referred to are: TPS - http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/index.html ICO - http://www.ico.gov.uk/complaints/marketing.aspx Ofcom - http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/tell-us/telecoms/ Regards, Alex.

these guys don't give up, a number of different people ring and ask for a person by name, insinuating that they have numerous debts, but when you challenge them they hang up. they can be very rude and aggressive, on last occasion threatened bailiff action.

I have had repeated call about 10 per day from the same number, 2 types of calls 1. as per above , 'that i owe money on credit cards' 2. 'that the government has set up an scheme where they are freezing monthly interest payments on CC or store cards and if you have these cards you can just make a monthly payment to them instead'. as i am a financial advisor i keep them talking for ages (appearing to be a bit non financial) after all it runs up their phone bill, then i wrap them in knots using my knowledge, at which point the phone goes down, so beware of both these types. i did a search on 'UK Phone information', which said.....' Oftel records show that numbers starting 01618 149 are allocated to Nexbridge Communications Limited, on the Nexbridge website thier tel number is .03456 800 800. i will be contacting them to see if these calls are coming from them. they are a 'call centre communications' company

Phone didn't ring, only got a voice mail from them lasting about 1 minute. No intelligible voices, just background noises. Subdued, possibly an office or call centre? Would be disturbing if I was less self confident. My number is registered with TPS.
