I had this a few times on my business line. It is a computer which calls all numbers on their database and if they answer then it is queued for the Call Centre to call you. I googled the number and found that it was registered to a company in Manchester, they were calling on behalf of Learning Direct. I called and spoke to one of the Call Centre Managers who took my details off their Database. I also complained to Learning Direct. It has not happened since and when it happens on my home line I purposely ignore the next call! THAT'S WHAT ANSWER PHONES WERE INVENTED FOR!

Sign up for the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), if you do and they still call then they can be fined

It's great to tell a poor battery hen in the call center "I'm sorry I've signed up with the TPS, your company has broken the law and has just earned itself a fine"

I keep getting a missed call text with the following number - 0871 823 5008 - but as the phone is diverted to the home number due to reception, I know I'm not missing the call!

I've googled it to no avail - can anyone else help? I just want them to stop calling - if I call it back, it tells me to leave a message!

Ring your service provider-they should tell you who it is.
