    It's Hanover Sterling trying to sell you a DMP for an admin fee of £35 per month. I went through all the crap with them one day with false details to find out who they were.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
  • I haven't had a single annoying phone call since I installed the Truecall device. :)

    I had these, held on the line pretended I may be interested got their details, told them to remove me, end of.
  • But with the Truecall device you don't even get interrupted in the middle of whatever you're doing at the time, it handles the call for you. No more annoying disturbances.

    Its a firm which claim to be called 'Financial Services' and are from Barking. Cant get a number to ring them on but, as i usually do, when I eventually Managed to get a person on the phone after pressing 2 ( rather than just silence ) I just let fly with a stream of four-lettered abuse. I felt better and I have not had any more calls.....coincidence? Or did they remove me because of it? Dont know and dont care:D
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

    I read this thread yesterday and I too have been plagued with calls from this company. Tonight for the very first time, a number came up on the caller ID when they called:
    0448446860199
    Hope that helps someone?

    Hi, also been inundated with these calls, last time listened to the whole message then pressed 2. Got through to some woman, told her I was ex-directory and registered with TPS and to remove phone no, she hung up on me but have not had any more calls. Long may it continue.
    :idea: Had lbm, switched it off too many times. Now am trying to sort my life out :T:T

    These are a right pain, being registered on the TPS seems to be pretty useless when it comes to these guys. I get one of these calls most days.
