Annoying Calls - 0845 685 1223

Hi,
Does anyone know who owns this phone number - 0845 685 1223? We've had about 6 calls a day, for the past 3 or 4 days. When you answer it, it just hangs up, whether you answer after 1 ring, or 8, this kinda makes me think that they hang up, so you are forced to call them back and pay for it. If anyone knows who this company is, I'd be grateful if you could let me know.
Thanks
Ben

Nothing comes up on google except your two posts."Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art."

Nothing comes up on http://www.saynoto0870.com either. They are usually pretty good with 08 numbers. Have you registered with the Telephone Call Preference Service (www.tpsonline.org.uk). Since we registered we get very few nuisance calls.0

hi i just called them for you on my free mobile orange credit ( they are usefull those free sims)
and its a company called ledex selling car insurance -0 -
I've had silent calls from 08450554454.
I googled it and it turns out to be from 'Kitchens Direct', a company that's been on 'Watchdog'
'Kitchens Direct' has a free phone number: 0800123321.
Give them a free call from a public phone box and tell them what's on your mind.0 -

Yes we registered with the TPS about 3 years ago when we started getting a flood of phone calls from different marketing companies. Since then its been pretty good, but in the past week this company has called about 6 times a day, usually between 9am- 5pm, (when we're at work), but once as late as 8pm, which was when I answered and they hung up.0 -

Thanks for that! Much appreciated. :beer:
I didn't know you could use free SIM minutes for 0845 numbers, usually you get the automated operator telling you the call will be charged at a certain rate, or is this a special Orange tarrif? (they seem to have alot of extra benefits/freebees compared to other mobile companies).
As for Ledex...never heard of them! I certainly haven't supplied them with my details. I haven't even gone to a car insurance web site for a quote recently, our insurance doesn't renew until May! Googling Ledex doesn't return any company details, just results for Solenoids and rotary relay!? I thought they might trying calling again today, so I could have a go at them, if there is someone there, but they didn't, obviously don't work weekends!
Thanks again

when u register your orange sim they give you £1 free creidt - not much i know but in cases like these they are handy0 -
I took out a motor insurance policy with eCar Insurance, having first gone through Confused.com. A few hours later Ledex phoned me (0845 685 1223) offering to provide me with some quotes by telephone on behalf of eCar insurance.
It seems like eCar provide them with the contact details directly, in my case they incorrectly did it because I'd already taken out the policy and paid for it.
I also received a call from 0207 296 3690 which is First Quote Direct, presumably details passed on by Confused.com0 -

Also had calls from 0845 685 1223 despite leaving a message for them not to call me again!
Ring them and ask them to suppress your contact details. The lady who answered the phone politely said she would do this, apologised and assured me they help lots of people.
Edit: Unfortunately got another call from them 15 minutes later!!! Thats 6 today.....
By Telephone:
UK Office: 0844 871 4300

Hope this helps people.0
