This number sent me a text telling me that I had a missed call from them. It was in exactly the same format as the texts I receive when I genuinely miss a call. However when I checked my call log there was no missed call, they had just sent me the text. I presume they get loads of call backs from people due to this. How unscrupulous. But for the fact that I check all phone numbers before contacting because I'm very suspicious of everyone,and I came across these reports, I might have been duped into phoning them. Disgusting.

At least weekly calls to my mobile. As I don't answer them, they show up as 'missed calls'. No messages are left.

Glad I saw this as it saved me digging around looking for who they are. They rang my iphone and I have now blocked the caller so they can't ring again. Honestly I thought all these PPI calls were supposed to be gone by now.

Called and started talking about PPI claim. When I told him I didn't need a claim and could he remove me from his database, he continued talking. I put my phone on mute and was going to leave it to one side, which he must have assumed was me hanging up - next thing said was 'well put the effing phone down on me then' before he cut me off. I'm now getting several PPI calls a day, and have been for the last couple of weeks - how do I get off their lists? They clearly don't listen when I ask, they continue talking over me and trying to convince me they are doing a favour.

Was contacted by this number on my mobile regarding reclaiming PPI. Excessive background noise from other telemarketers doing the same. These people are parasites preying on easy targets such as the banks who did not all miss-sell the product.

Rings far too often on my mobile, sometimes 6-7 times a day. I can't answer it at work, meaning at the end of the day it looks like an emergency is happening with all the missed calls on there!

Very aggressive person trying to deal with a PPI claim on my behalf. I informed him I had already done it myself and he would not stop trying to get me to sign up. I asked what part of No did he not understand and eventually had to put the phone down on him

The person who called didn't state name of company. I avoided inquiring about the company and then asked the guy's view on bankruptcy. Usually they put the phone down on that. However that guy was smart (and rude) he asked if I ever have had ever been bankrupt and claimed he could help but he talked really fast non stop so I went straight to the point "look, you want my credit card details" he evaded my comment and quickly spoke trying to get me enticed by his fraud. I told him firmly I rather do not discuss business on the phone, nothing he said applied to me so he should therefore go onto another random number on his screen. The conversation ended there. So with this, it's best to be polite but firm.

Was very polite to the agressive man and in the nicest voice possible that "I have not had an injury and would he mind pi$$ing off please." said very nicely. I put the phone down whilst he was spluttering as he didn't know what to say.
