01111

I have been having calls from the same Call Centre this time representing a Company call Capital Finance (international) Limited. Reg Office 5ft Floor Humberstone House Humberstone Gate Leicester LE1 1WB Company Registration number 03169027 which is shown on Companies House as Dormant with overdue Accounts. Hopefully the Registrar will strike them off. The Company's Number is 08702704000. I rang but they were abusive when I complained. I have reported the Company to TPS. I also complained to the person at the call centre but that has not stopped the calls.

So I received a call from 0202222222 early morning. They woke me up but I didn't answer. Very annoying.

I recently applied for a remortgage with the Bristol and West. Perhaps the Bristol and West building society database is getting into the wrong hands.

Is anyone else here with the Bristol and West building society?

Also does anyone else here live in Leicester? I suggest some undercover work, photos etc. Lets find out as much as possible.

I have also been bugged by these people with silent calls
I have not applied for nor do I have a morgage
My number is also ex-directory so the number could not have been on a "legal database"

I get calls all the time from marketing people who "have got my number from the address book" to which I reply that it must be an old one as this number has been ex-directory for 12 months, registered with TPS etc. I now have withheld numbers refused and choose to refuse on my phone to stop this.

"The person you are calling is temporarily unavailable. Please call again later"....

I wonder why he is unavailable? Being swamped with phone calls, probably.

Anyway, guys, I am getting up to 5 a day from tel. no 011111 - I have now complained to TPS but will also be writing to Daksha Parmar. Have any of you tried his mobile no. and or written to him about the nuisance phone calls?

Thanks.

Just a thought but why don't we start playing them at their own game.

Next time the 01111 calls, explain to them that unfortunately you are unable to help them at this precise moment but can give them a mobile number to call to speak to the decision maker.

Then proceed to give them 07973 505976 (Daksha Parmer's number), so the employees end up trying to contact and sell to their own director!! :rotfl: :rotfl:


If we could do this to every cold caller company, think of the fun we would have :rotfl:

I'm SO glad I didn't rush from the shower to answer the phone this morning: as they didn't leave a message I dialled 1471 to find it was the 02022222222222222222222 number, which I googled and found this thread!

But we don't have a mortgage ... will be interesting if they phone again to see if they ask for me, my DH, the chap we share the house with, or if they assume that I am "Mrs the chap we share the house with" - that one's always entertaining!

I had 2 calls today from 011 11 - one this morning when i was out, and one which i answered this afternoon and they wanted someone who hasn't lived here for over a year!

When I asked who they were he said that he was calling from Winsol finance (which google says is in india!) So I told him his information must be out of date, so he said sorry, thanked me for my time and hung up.

I googled the number and found this thread, and I just wondered if anyone else has been told they are calling from this company.

Hello everyone, I've been reading (and making good use of) the wisdom on the MSE forums for some time now, and today, I've found something that may be of interest to you.
Over the last couple of days I have been silent receiving calls, both on my landline and my mobile phone; the landline is registered with TPS, and I'm about to see if I can register my mobile as well.
On the landline, I've had calls from 01111. The last time they called, I said "Is that Mrs Parmar? I don't want anything from Capital Finance, and I want you to stop calling me, I am registered with TPS and I know who you are, if you call me again I will report you."
On the mobile it has been 01515 493160. I sent a text to this one (I think the STD code is Liverpool) telling them to either speak or stop calling, otherwise I would report them for harassment, then I did a search on silent calls. It turns out there is a number on the TPS site on which you can register for free to reduce (they can't guarantee to stop them all) these silent calls. The number is 0870 4443969.
There is also a link on the line to a service which will block 100% of silent calls, including those from overseas, but I didn't look into this.
Hope this helps.
Gertie.

Springfield - now why is homer simpson calling me?

I've had that number a few times. I called BT to complain and they traced it back to an automated calling service trying to sell timeshares.
