For anyone keen to reach out regarding those bothersome calls, I've got some particulars for you. The company in question is Warranty Direct Limited, located at Quadrant House, Broad Street Mall, Reading, RG1 7QE. If you're looking to dig deeper, they've got an official registration at Companies House under number 3233010, and a freephone number to boot: 0800 731 7001. It’s worth noting that they appear to be affiliated with the Telegraph Group. Could it be that the Telegraph Group has been improperly sharing personal information with this firm? Just a thought!

Absolutely! We dropped our car off at the National Auto Centre last Sunday for a service, and now it’s Thursday, and we’ve begun receiving calls from this number. We haven’t responded, and it seems these callers haven't left a message either. It’s rather peculiar, really, considering we had an MOT done at the very same garage back in January, and there were no calls whatsoever then. We really hope they take a hint and stop pestering us with these calls!

warranty direct called me but it wasnt a big deal since I had requested a quote online. they mentioned they'd ring me back once my current ope warranty runs out next year. the bloke's name was andrew and he was alright, so i wouldnt really say it was a pestering call - unless they keep phoning before next year, then i'll just block them.

It’s Warranty Direct. I requested a quote for my Jaguar but decided not to go ahead, and now they call me like 3 times daily. I’ve had to block them because they’re proper spammers who don’t seem to understand the word no. Just desperate to push their overpriced warranty that most likely won’t pay out if you ever claim.

We took a gander at their online site, and a mere twelve hours later, received a call while I was still in my pyjamas! They seem like a reputable company, to be fair. We ended up buying a car, and the garage provided breakdown cover through them, but it cost us twice as much as what we found online. Not long after, the gearbox started acting up just six days post-purchase. However, they sorted it out with no fuss, charging us 600 for the repair. That's the reason we're reaching out once more.

I believe this phone number is associated with a company called Warranty Direct, which deals with vehicles. It’s quite possible that they obtained your contact information through your car insurance provider or perhaps from Nationwide Auto Centre.

I've recently been inundated with calls on both my work phone and my mobile, coming through multiple times a day. It all kicked off after I requested a quote from warrantydirect.co.uk a couple of days back. At the time, it appeared to be a perfectly innocuous choice, but evidently, I was mistaken. This mirrors what others have mentioned in this forum, doesn't it?
