    I've had 6 calls today from Lloyds, 3 to landline and 3 to mobile, the last calls being at 7.30pm. Didn't answer any of them.

    I've already asked them not to ring and to put anything in writing (I'm with CCCS on a DMP) yet they still persist.

    Surely after 7 weeks they would have heard from CCCS and not have to contact me by phone anymore?! Grrrrrrrrr

    If you want to know a number always try Google you never know who else has had problems getting calls from the same number!

  • Had 2 silent calls from 08708503492 today, then have just had a call from a frosty woman that didn't seem interested in anything I had to say and just kept interrupting me to ask if I could make a debit card payment today.

    If they are hassling you, phone BT and get them blocked. They have no special rights to call you.

    Hi, this no. also relates to British Gas (Finance not Energy) and yes it is an auto dialler - I was receiving calls to mobile, home & work upt to 10 times per day and when you answer the line goes dead, I registered my numbers with the BT & Pref services and now they seem to have stopped calling
