Honestly, you should've made sure to cancel during the cooling-off time, it's not really on us. Try to be a bit more careful with these things in future!

I had a similar experience with these con artists! They rang my grandma, insisting that she owed £180 for her appliance insurance, claiming it was a special rate since she'd never made a claim (which is total nonsense since she’s never had any cover at all). Luckily, the credit card company caught on and flagged it as a scam, so they denied the payment. But the scammers kept calling, trying to bully her into approving the payment. They were incredibly aggressive and wouldn't stop ringing. It's truly concerning how persistent these fraudsters can be!

Got a call from someone claiming I had an insurance policy with them. I told her I definitely didn’t have any washing machine cover with that company, but she refused to believe me. I hung up, and she called right back. This went on three times! She even said she had my bank info and would just take the money regardless. I reckon this would worry quite a few people, but not me. I tried calling her back, but of course she’s probably gone and disappeared. Honestly, I hope she’s having a rough time catching any sleep at night.

This bloke was hasslin' a elderly couple, both in their mid-eightys, claimin they got an appliance loan from years back, like 2018, and supposedly never paid it back. Now he's threatening court and bailiffs. Totally out of order and vile. Someone really needs to sort him out! What a tosser.

My mum got tricked out of £180 by this so-called Samantha - I doubt that's even her real name. She kept pressuring and upsetting mum, even threatening to take her to court if she didn’t pay up. It was all a load of rubbish to scare her into coughing up the money.

Got a call from National Appliance Cover on 8th Feb 2021 saying I had insurance on a Samsung washing machine. I honestly don’t remember signing up for anything like that. They’ve already taken £180 from my bank as a “final payment” claiming it includes some 40% discount or something. Asked them to give me the money back but no reply so far. I’ve also received some documents from them, which just confuses me even more. Has anyone else had a call like this?

Somebody called saying they were Steven Fletcher from National Alliances trying to sell me extra cover for my washing machine. I gave them most of my real details but put in the wrong bank account by accident. When I told him I wasn’t interested in continuing, he then threatened I would be charged £100! Definitely feels like a scam, watch out!

I got a call from a bloke who said he's Stanley Bright, something about National Insurance, I believe. He mentioned lowering my insurance costs but then asked for my card info. I told him to give me his number so I could ring him back, but of course, I have no intention of doing that.

Got a call on my landline, number starts with (01544) from a man named Stephen claiming to be with National Appliances. He told me my washing machine’s warranty had run out, which is strange since I never even took one out. What freaked me out was he knew my full address, name, and even the last four of my credit card. He kept ringing back, I think about three more times. Be careful, he’s quite pushy!

Received a call earlier from someone named Steve Jones pushing my elderly mother-in-law for cash over a washing machine cover that was never even in place. The so-called National Appliance Cover only came into being after March 31st 2020, so how on earth could they have sold her a policy two years earlier? Total rip-off. These con artists clearly target older folks - make sure your family knows not to get involved with them.

My dear mother-in-law, who is quite advanced in years, received a rather aggressive call from National Appliance Cover, insisting that she owed them money for a policy they supposedly sold her two years ago. The peculiar thing is, this firm was only established in March 2020! It strikes me as a complete con, taking advantage of vulnerable seniors to siphon off their hard-earned cash. I highly recommend steering clear of this company!

Had a call from someone called Samantha at National Appliance Care claiming I signed up for some kind of cover on my washing machine and now I owed money. I never agreed to any cover at all. She sounded pretty pushy and even threatened me over not paying. Tried calling the number she gave but it kept rejecting my calls. Felt quite harassed, to be honest.

My mum and dad got a call from this Samantha woman, pushing that tired £180 scam. They got in touch with me straight away, so I called her back. She was seriously hostile, much ruder than I expected. I calmly told her I was ending the conversation, then I reported her number to the police. And guess what? She tried ringing my parents again! Still, she didn’t get what she wanted in the end.

Got a call from a woman named Samantha who insisted I had a 5-year policy set to end in 2023, and apparently there’s a balance of £180 left on it. Weirdly, she even mentioned one of my long-forgotten passwords. I didn’t give her any details, just looked up the phone number afterwards. Seems like they might be using outdated auto-created contracts to call people out of the blue, and it’s pretty believable stuff. Would be careful with these calls, they're definitely risky!

Some bloke called Richard Cresswell rang me up saying he was from National Appliance Cover Ltd. At first, it threw me off because we do have insurance, but not for our washing machine. He reckoned I’d signed up for it back in 2018, but when I looked them up, the company was only registered in 2020. Then he tried to tell me I owed £150 for cancelling an insurance policy I never had on a washer I don’t even own! When I told him exactly what I thought of that, he put me on hold. Obviously, I’m going to report them. Honestly, if they ring you, just hang up straight away.

This happened to my 96-year-old mum as well. Some bloke called Stephen Fletcher from National Appliance Cover and somehow convinced her to sign up for a £180 policy. Earlier, there was a woman on the phone who was proper aggressive - even a younger mate visiting mum was rattled by her. It’s just not on at all. There’s got to be a way to stop these kinds of calls from happening.

Received a rather troubling call from an outfit claiming to be National Appliance Cover. They insisted that my mother supposedly entered into a five-year agreement for her washing machine-something neither of us can remember ever doing. The caller informed us that because she hadn't cancelled, she was now liable for an immediate payment of £180 or face a court summons. The tone was alarmingly hostile and quite unsettling. In the end, I felt compelled to pay on her behalf, as the thought of her potentially ending up in court was simply too distressing for her. The representative, who identified herself as Taylor, was relentless and exceedingly persuasive. Although I've received some documents in the post, I’m starting to doubt their legitimacy. To top it all off, they've attempted to call my mother again this morning despite being told to contact me directly instead. What a dreadful experience!

I got a call from National Appliance Co about some discount on an insurance policy they said I had. Honestly, I don’t really recall the policy, but my memory isn’t so great these days. They also warned me about some cancellation charge if I didn’t keep it. In the end, I ended up losing £180 to their trickery.

Got a call from a guy named Steven Farmer claiming I’d signed up for an insurance policy back in 2018. I told him I hadn’t, but he said they had a recording of me agreeing. When I mentioned I have bipolar, he just laughed and accused me of being rude. Then he threatened to involve the police if I didn’t pay up. I tried explaining that the call was really upsetting me because of my condition, but he brushed it off, saying bipolar wasn’t a valid reason and insisted I was being disrespectful.

Received a rather alarming call from some outfit named National Appliance Cover. They claimed I had some sort of five-year warranty on my washing machine, though I can’t for the life of me remember signing up for it. They went on about how I’d 'breached' the contract by cancelling it, and threatened that if I didn’t fork out £180 straight away, they'd escalate the matter to the magistrates court. The whole conversation felt quite menacing and overly aggressive. Honestly, I'm left wondering if this is a legitimate company or just a scam?

Over the past week this number has been bothering my mum and me, insisting we owe them for appliances we never bought. They've been demanding payment and even warned me about taking us to court if we don’t cough up. The person on the line was a woman and she was really pushy. Definitely don’t hand over any bank info. Seems like they target mainly older people, and the banks already know about these sorts of calls.

This guy who said his name was Steve Jones rang my mum, who’s 81, and told her she owed money on some washing machine insurance she supposedly had. He warned if she didn’t sort it soon, it’d go to a debt collection agency. Mum said she didn’t recall any policy like that since she’s never signed up for one, but then he started saying cancelling it would come with a fee. Total con, no doubt about it.

I got a call to my mother-in-law and the person on the other end was really hostile and kept accusing her of owing money for some service she supposedly signed up for. But she didn’t agree to anything or sign up for anything at all. My mother-in-law’s 79, quite fragile, and definitely shouldn’t be put through that sort of harassment. It left her quite upset and scared, which I find really unacceptable.
