Intrum Justitia
Oct 27^th, 2006 at 6:21pm

I am getting up to 3 calls a day from this number - When I first started to get them they asked for a female who does not live here and hasn't done for over 4 years. I explained this to them but the calls kept coming. Now when I answer the phone (being a male) the line just goes dead.
Anyone any idea who this is so that I can write to try and stop the calls.

I've done a google search but couldn't get a hit.

The number was originally allocated to Cable & Wireless but due to number portability it may no longer be with them.

You could contact C&W and mention to them that you are getting silent phonecalls from 0870 333 0159 and you were wondering if they could at least tell you which company it belongs to as silent calls is considered a misuse of communications under the Communications Act and you are trying to determine the company that is using it otherwise you'll ask Ofcom to look into it.

The thing is that C&W are under no obligation to give out who uses that number to us consumers so its hit or miss there.

That is their web address. They don't understand the words. "I have paid".

From the telephone conversations I have had with them, I find them to be rude. I have had them hang up the telephone on me before now.

Here is a landline for them based in Warwick 01789 415 181 .

I believe they can transfer you to their Call Centre which I assume is based in Liverpool as that is the accent all their advisors seem to have!!!

When I wanted to know how on earth they had got my number for him she hung up. I will attempt to contact them again to find this out!!

Also now you have the number get your provider to block all calls from that outfit.

It's not exactly a good solution, but BT offer a service "choose to refuse". They don't promote it much, but you can block individual callers from calling you. You either enter a list of phone numbers, or dial a short code after an unwanted call. It even blocks calls from witheld numbers! This is different to the anonymous call rejection service, which is a blanket block and won't help if they release a number.

Callers hear a message "The person you are calling is not accepting calls from you at this time." It annoys them a little Cheesy

Can't remember the charge off-hand, but I believe it's possible for BT's malicious calls bureau to let you have it for free for a short time.

Another option would be to write to them informing them that the person they are looking for has moved on, with something similar to the following included.

"I will regard any further approaches other than in writing as harassment under S40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, and any inappropriate written contact as harassment under that Act or S1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988.

I am advised that your approach so far may already be considered in breach of regulations governing debt collection practices. If necessary I will report the matter immediately to the OFT which may have implications for both your own company and any employees/ clients involved."

I have on occasion used a similar letters for my clients - and it has eased some of the pressure for them.

re - intrum justitia - we had a call today from these people but I know I don't owe any company anything - as someone mentioned they deal with ebay & paypal and so do I but I don't owe them anything either

thus I do what I do for some other numbers - simply save in my caller id list on my phone as 'neveranswer' or 'donotreply' - if they ring when I am in then they will get the answerphone after 8 rings and if they ring when I am out then who cares - that way at least they are having to pay for each call

Next time they ring, why not be really polite & civil to them, explain that your phone is due to be cut off tomorrow because you are switching suppliers, and in the meantime your new number is 0909 944 1230, after all, these people need a stern talking to.

You might be able to find the target number here if you're over 18

I have joined your request to the existing thread on Intrum Justitia, so have a look at the postings above. There are several entries in the database. 01789 415181, which is also given above is a Stratford-upon-Avon number, so I think that's the main number at the head office - I would try that.
