Silent call from 0844 357 1653

All I know is that they are one of these debt management places that tell you about the "write 75% of your debts off" legislation.

If you call them back to get removed, they tell you about TPS...

[rant] Hey. morons! I'm already registered with TPS and Silent Call Gard, so you're breaking the law by calling me!!! :mad: [/rant]

Does anyone know what their company name is so I can report them to the regulator, although that will be a fat lot of good...

  • Had similar problem Im with bt phoned nuisance number dept 0800 661 441
    they gave me this number 0870 444 3969 and they barred the number for once I got satisfaction.
  • I wonder if this one's related: had a silent call from 0844 357 1654. Same idea, but sales & marketing, also mentions TPS in their message when called, before allowing you to opt out; no mention of company name.

    I've been called twice in two days by these numpties. They're using an automated cold calling system. Press 2 to speak to a poverty preying smarm bucket. I asked for a landline and got 0844 357 1654. They claim to be based in Exeter, to be called Free Debt Helpline, to be charity funded and have a link to Exeter University.

    I too am on TPS. So, how do we report and halt these bloodsucking leeches?
