They called and went straight into asking me if I heard about ppi and if I have ever claimed, who I banked with and whether I have loans or credit cards with my bank. Not once was I told the company that called me or the name of the person.
I gave false details to see how far they went, they then asked for my address so they could send a form to sign and send back, but first they wanted me to speak to someone else for my d.o.b and more person details, by this point, I got bored and put down the phone. They kept calling me for 5 more minutes non-stop.

They asked whether I had received money from ppi claims. I told them it was a private emergency phone number and not to call it again. They ignored me and carried on. I asked how they got my number and then they hung-up.

Got two mobile phone numbers PAYG never top them up use them for verification purposes or when I have to speak to someone I don't really trust. Had two calls within half an hour same number on both. Thought it would be loan, PPI or FCA related and it appears it was. I know people have to earn a living but these numbers aren't even active as used for incoming calls only.

I would love the MD of this company to call me, then he/she would get a SERIOUS f**king piece of my mind!!

Just got a call from this number. Arrogant sounding bloke asking me about whether I'd had a PPI refund from my bank. Tried talking to me as if he had a right to the information. I said I was at work so couldn't really get stuck on personal calls. He told me I should put my phone in the drawer then. I told him I'd make my own decisions about that. He kept drolling on in smart arse way. I cut him off. They don't conduct themselves like a professional company whoever they are and that sets all the alarm bells ringing for me. blocked the number.

This number called today, following calls from 2 other numbers used by the same company. They call you from different telephone numbers if you block them. So far, I've had the following numbers call me:

0161 209 4880
0161 429 3342
0161 741 4000

My advice is to just ignore the calls, block the numbers and report them to Ofcom (here's the website: http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/phone/tackling-nuisance-calls-and-messages/)if the calls become excessive or a nuisance.

They make millions from doing normal business with us, and then by making more money selling-on our details. That's how these other blood-suckers get our phone numbers. Best of Luck.

Just received a call on my mobile from this company. I told them I have "NEVER had credit from anywhere, please do not call this number again and remove it from your records"! She then asked if I'd ever had a mortgage etc., to which I said (sternly) "What have I just said?" and I hung up. IF they ring again they will be blocked and reported, as once you've asked them to remove your number from their records and don't call again they are breaking the law if they do.

Answered as it was a Manchester number and I actually live in Manchester. Took me a minute to realise that it was a marketing/spam call due to that (was running through my mind all the calls I was expecting while the woman was babbling on about s**t I didn't understand).
Should have spotted the brief robot voice/fuzz call centre hallmark.

Woman calling from "HYC" about PPI payment. Tried to lure you in with claims of big bucks and being familiar as if you should be expecting their call. Wasn't rude, though. Asked a lot of questions about loans/credit card/mortgage history over the last 10 years dropping big bank names. Randomly ended the conversation after it was clear I didn't have any loan/mortgage/credit card history.

Having read this page I feel as if I shouldn't have even given them so much as 1c of detail about myself even though nothing i gave was identifying. Be careful.

I get these 2-3 of these calls daily. When you're pitching for a job via recruitment agencies, you tend to pick every call. I usually pretend to be interested in what they have to say, then go quiet, followed by intermittent "hello, hello, sorry you're very faint. Pls repeat that...". I enjoy turning the tables onn these crooks before I block the number with either Mr Number app or AMC. Sadly, they simply move to another of their landlines and just call again. And we're supposed to have Ofcom!
