We Fight Any Claim cold call

Just had a cold call from the above re possible PPI on any loans and credit cards I might have had.
I informed him I did not have any and he was wasting his time.
He went on about 'How could I be sure?'
I then informed him that I work in the industry and have to deal with PPI claims every workday. If I did have any then I would be applying myself, unfortunately I do not.
He then went on to say how stressful it could be and their *lawyers* are experienced in these claims.
I said all you have to do is fill in a form, how stressful is that.?
He then wished me good night and hung up.

solicitors cannot take business from cold calls and of course you know as well as I that they dont use anyone legal at all.
The same company cold called me and tried to persuade me that I could complain about insurance I set up myself (as an IFA). I said, why would I want to use a claims company to complain to myself and insurance I put in place for myself (none of which was PPI). She still didnt get it.
