Annoying calls on my mobile

[andy91]

Keep getting daily calls from 02031671196.

Must ring me 4 times a day. Ive not answered any but done a search and its some crappy claim guys chasing PPI stuff.

Is there a way of me blocking their calls at all?

just answer it and leave it to one side or i find a referees whistle usually does the trick.
no need to thank me just pay it forward......

some cell phone companys you can call hq and ask them to block numbers.

you could answer and pretend to be not Inglish

or answer it, then tell them your getting a new number

[super jumbe]

I always give them name and address and when they ask you for reference number or bank name just tell them he died with lots of PPI can you forward that money to me what is left of him!!!!!

[GastonJ]

Android has free blocking software installed or available. I drop the numbers in my address book, mark them as such and never hear them ring again. All good stuff

I get these calls on my work phone asking me to press 5 if I want to make a claim. Soon as a call centre worker answers I start ordering a chinese

Cold calling for PPI, Personal Injury claims & anything else regulated by the Ministry of Justice is illegal.

Ask them for their Ministry of Justice reg no. This will start 'CRM' followed by 4 or 5 digits.

Then ask them for their Data Protection license no. This should start with a letter then 6 digits (I think).

You can send an email to report them to the Ministry of Justice.
This will get you nowhere as an individual, but if more people report them they could remove their license.

I'll have to check where to report the DPA license to, but this is a more serious problem for the company. They only get one warning... then they will be facing criminal proceedings.

Yes, it's a pain in the ass having to spend time reporting them. But the more you do it, the more fun it can be.

Just for info... Any forms or leaflets sent out have to show the CRM number. So does their website. Not sure if the DPA license details have to be shown as well. But these can be found through companies house.
Staff should have these details drilled into their heads.

*CONFUSED*

So the next time we get a call, off-line or on-line, we say

"Ey up duck, what the ~~~~ is your minstery of justic number, NOW"

[Canker_Canison]

Pretty much. But it's the DPA license that will get them into more trouble.
