Sim-card I use in old 'phone and tethered to laptop got a call from this number. Could hear a faint ringing then realised my 'dongle' had been called. The Sim has never been used other than for tethering as I don't trust public WI-fi. I didn't answer but it showed up in call-log when I checked later. I don't have PPI or anything else these callers chase for.

Call from them today also. Missed first time was sure was a multi phone dialer so persisted in calling back. Eventually got some pleasant you girl who tried to tell me the banks are being re-investigated for not paying out fully yada yada yada. Deafening music in background I was surprised she could even hear me. Repeated I already got all my ppi back myself and asked to remove from their database. Time will tell I guess.

Had someone by the name of Calum call today, PPI claim service. The number he called me on is a new number issued by EE less than a month ago due to getting over 50 calls a month from same number. Clearly someone in EE is selling our numbers as i requested that i am not listed in the directory to prevent this type of cold calling rubbish

PPI reclamation, no company name given, did not address me by my name. Extremely rude young woman on the end of the phone who completely ignored me and continued to talk when I told her I'd never had PPI. Then accused me of being rude when I asked if she was either deaf or ignoring me. I hung on long enough to force her to hang up after requesting she remove my number from their database.

But I googled my work experience place to check and it wasn't so I googled the number and this page came up and said they were asking about loans which I cant take out because im 14. I don't know how they rang my number but im glad I didnt reply as its a scam and more companies get hold of your number

Bogus PPI calls are partly a strategy of the banksters to discredit companies set up to return unwarranted charges to account holders. The scheme obviously costs the banks money which they obviously don't want it costs them less to employ a team of phone monkeys to make PPI claim companies look like a scam. DON'T LET IT DETER YOU FROM FINDING OUT LEGITIMATELY IF THE BANKS OWE YOU MONEY BACK!!! Go to companies like http://doihaveppi.com/

Says I can claim PPI back. Told him I can't possibly have anything owed to me as I have one bank account only and no mortgage or loans or credit cards. Quite rude, just kept talking over me as I asked to be taken off of the system. Went through a list of banks who could owe me money. Not with any of those banks so impossible. Carried on to be quite forceful and rude asking who I bank with and other personal details which I didn't give to him.

In the process of moving house so when I had a missed call from this number was worried it was important in line with other comments on this site called the number waited for ages for someone to answer only to get totally fed up and googled the number and found this information. As with others I do not give out my mobile number to anyone so really unsure as to how they got it

This number called my mobile - goodness knows how they got the number as I use it rarely for business calls.

From comments here this company seems to have a similar strategy/ handlers' practice to Harrington's another PPI claims centre who still seem to have me on their call list despite me specifically asking them to remove me from their list as I am registered with Telephone Preference Service.

Obnoxious & repulsive male rambling on about PPI, loans, mortgages. Asked me if I had any debt. Tried to obtain my credit card details. Could hear group of females in background laughing & gossiping.
Call came from 0161-741-4000 on 1/9/2015.Source is Gtr. Man. Police or TA ( Read other comments at Angry Old Bird, 23/3/2105 & Bored Engineer, 25/3/2015 for verification). Submitted 3/9/2015 by Colin. If they call you again get a ref 's whistle and blow it as hard as you can into your phone.That should do the trick !

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 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.

Had a call from this number just now. She started to ask about whether I had claimed for PPI. I cut her short by asking where she got the telephone number from. Her response was I needed to give her an email address (ha ha) and they would respond within 72 hours. I said no I hold while she gets the details. She hung up. This call was followed a few seconds later from "unknown".
