Rang at least once daily for a fair few days didnt answer . Glad after reading this site I didnt .Unfortunately cannot block it on my phone but as prevoius posts when they become a nusiance to people they should be fined or shut down but they will simply start up again using a different number no doubt. Just block if you can or ignore if you cant.

Very rude man. I claimed PPI but was never told that I had to pay them. I assumed they took the money straight out of the settlement. When they rang, the phone was quiet. After saying hello 3 times I hung up. As I hung up I heard someone say hello. Then within seconds, an withheld number called and the man was terribly rude and said "every time I ring u hang up" when he fact he didn't speak. He asked for my DOB to which I said I did not give out over the telephone. He was extremely rude so I hung up. What bad parents they must have to not teach them manners

PPI. They said it was called HELP YOUR CLAIM. I asked to speak to the manager and told them that my phone was registered to not receive cold calls, and asked them where they got my number from. They asked for my email address so they could let me know where they obtained my number from. I refused to give it, as next thing they will be sending me emails too. They were quite persistent and LOUD and kept calling me by my first name which annoyed me too seeing as I have never met them, and don't want to meet them.

These people phone me all the time, given up trying to beat them so I just play games, the last 3 times I have said yes I was in an accident, after a 10 minute conversation I say, "it doesn't matter if I was drunk at the time does it" it surprising how quick they put the phone down, of course I wasn't in an accident, contrary to their records, in my book the longer you keep them on the phone the more it costs them.

Received a call from this number but as I didn't recognise it I didn't answer it. I rang it back a little later with my number blocked so they wouldn't know who it was and there was just a man that kept saying hello so I hung up. I was expecting an automated system like you get with most legit places which normally say who they are and what they do. After reading these comments I'm glad I never answered and it seem's like a pure scam to me and I would love to know how they got my number. If I spoke to people in the way that these people have spoke to most, I would get booted out the door and rightly so! These people need to get a proper job or maybe just disappear?!

Just another poor sod sitting in a cramped call-centre on minimum wage wanting to know if I'd ever had PPI. I let the young lady drone on for a bit, dangling the carrot of a sale in front of her, lulling her into a false sense of hope, before hanging up. Nothing personal, love; I hope you find a proper job one day. Mind you, this PPI call is a symptom of this illness that is modern Britain: a nation of betting shops, payday loan companies and call centres - all thanks to successive Labour and Tory governments (and the EU). Anyway, guys, listen up. I've never had PPI. But even if I had ... do you not think I would have got off my arse and reclaimed it by now? Now kindly bugger off and find a soul.
