    The fun you could have with these people calling. I would suggest you watch a tv show called Phone Jacker for inspiration.
    or read the thread on here called 'Having fun with debitas' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    All truth goes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident.

    well thats the thing - im pretty sure they must have contact info for her because they do leave me alone when i tell them its not her... its just holly seems to have a LOT of debt with a LOT of people! so telling EVERY company is an absolute pain.. that said i havent had one since i posted here haha

    its getting to the point where im about ready to send messages to EVERY holly clarke on facebook in london and tell them to give out their OWN number...

    Go to www.192.com

    Type in her name, and location as London, bish bash, youve got 12 "suspects" with their phone number for straight off (for free!). Why not give them a call "Hi - have you got a really nice peugeot?"

    Its useful when you get annoying person on the phone trying to sell you something (only works for uk ones though!)

    I had ambulance chaser from Liverpool on the phone trying to see if I had an accident in the last few years - it was getting a bit tiresome, but thought I'd have some fun.

    Somehow I dragged his surname out of him (he had already told me his first name), and guessing that he lived in Liverpool, I typed in "Joe Bloggs, Liverpool" whilst still talking to him, and got just one hit.

    A few mins later, I dropped into the conversation "I know where you live, xyz road, shall I call round later?" - phone went dead, never had a call from them again!

    Why don't you change each digit in turn and try and call her? You never know...

    I like that idea! At 5 mins per phone call, you could get it down to under 40 thousand years to try every number....
