01544248405 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01544248405 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls claiming to be from a home appliance insurance company, insisting recipients owe money for policies they never agreed to. Callers often use aggressive, threatening language, seek sensitive banking details, and pressure for payments, sometimes quoting partial card numbers to appear legitimate. Many reports highlight harassment of vulnerable or elderly individuals, causing distress and frustration. The company name often cited is similar to National Appliance Cover, based in Kington, but the consensus is these calls are deceptive. Callers promise discounts if paid promptly yet threaten legal action if not. Numerous victims confirm no prior policy existed, and some report repeated calls despite blocking. Users express anger at the rude, intimidatory behaviour and warn others to be cautious.
Reports on phone number 01544248405
5 yearsThey've been pestering my mum, who’s quite old. They're claiming she’s already paid for two years of a five-year plan, which she definitely hasn't, and now they’re threatening to take action unless she coughs up another £180.5 yearsI keep getting calls like this from both men and women, and if you don’t agree with what they’re saying, they get really irritated. That just winds me up even more, so I tell them to f##k off pretty sharpish. They’re so daft, always persistent, but luckily, I’m pretty stubborn and stand my ground.5 yearsThey kept asking for payment for something I never agreed to, which was really frustrating.5 yearsHe was extremely rude and even went as far as to threaten that he knew my address!5 yearsA bloke rang me claiming to be from HAC, saying I supposedly had a kitchen appliance insurance policy with them and that I’d missed a payment. I told him straight away I’ve never held any such policy from that firm, which clearly annoyed him. He began getting quite aggressive, so I ended the call quickly. I’ve put their number straight onto my block list now. It worries me how easily someone more vulnerable might get scared into handing over private details.HAC5 yearsGot a call from 01544248405 earlier today, some bloke asking for Mr Miles. I told him he had the wrong number but he reckoned I was fibbing and insisted I was at the address he mentioned. It wasn’t my place at all, so I just told him to jog on..Miles5 yearsGot a call from someone talking about discounting my Home Appliance Insurance, but I don’t even have one. He told me he could knock 40% off, so I asked him to send the info through the post to have a look. No surprise, he just cut off the call after that.Home Appliance Insurance5 yearsThe person on the other end was really rude and even got threatening.5 yearsMy mum's been getting calls from this number non stop today.5 yearssome bloke rang up about my washing machine insurance being out of date, said i had to pay £60 to renew or £50 to cancel it, and if i refused they’d charge £300 to my card. i told him it sounded like a scam and he got really shirty. he even read out the first 4 digits of my card number but turns out all cards from that bank start with the same numbers anyway. be careful, these muppets are trying all sorts nowadays.5 yearsI got a call from a bloke called Sean who said he needed my full card number to keep my washing machine insurance going. He claimed I had a two year deal from 2019 and wanted my card details so I could get a cheaper price, otherwise he'd charge me £99 because of some contract. I told him no and ended the call since I wasn’t giving my bank info. He also wouldn’t send me anything in writing. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.Sean5 yearsHad one of those dodgy calls about Kitchen Appliance insurance again. I just blocked the number, but I’m bracing myself for loads more since there’s tons of them around and these idiots keep switching their phone digits.5 yearsGot a call telling me I needed to send money by Monday or they’d report me for not paying a washing machine repair bill. I’ve never even heard of this before, but apparently it’s under my name. They somehow have all my personal info too. Really confusing!5 yearsSo this National Appliance kept ringing me while I was in the middle of a live class. I told them to stop as I was trying to work, but then they called back again! Can you believe it? They had the nerve to ring me once more after that!National Appliance5 yearsI got a call from a person saying they represented some firm that offered washing machine service plans. They told me I supposedly signed a 5 year deal and already covered the initial 2 years in full. Then they went on about a 40% off deal for the next 3 years. Honestly, it all sounded quite believable, and I can imagine how others might fall for it.5 yearsGot a call from someone about washing machine insurance, said it was from some insurance firm. I never signed up for that though, I don't usually bother with insuring my white goods! The call came through from a number in Kington, and weirdly, the person on the phone already knew the first four digits of my bank card. The call actually came from a mobile number.Kington5 yearsI saw the call but didn’t pick up, didn’t recognise the number at all.5 yearsI got a call about my washing machine, saying it was coming up to the last three years of my contract and that I could get 30% off the premiums. They asked me to confirm my Visa debit card details to apply the discount. I told them no way and ended the call. They rang again straight away, threatening that if I didn’t share my info, I'd have to pay the full price. But my premiums go out by direct debit anyway, so there’s no way they’d change anything without my say-so.5 yearsGot a call today from someone claiming to be National Appliances. I told them I don’t deal with stuff like that over the phone and asked them to send something in writing if it’s urgent, then ended the call. Been super cautious lately since not long ago a person pretending to be from Home Serve nearly tricked me. Bit suspicious, isn’t it?National AppliancesHomeServe5 yearsGot a call here in Nottinghamshire, the bloke wanted to speak to my husband and said they were from some National Appliance Cover about our washing machine. They claimed it was bought back in 2018, which isn’t true at all. They then started offering a discount ‘cos supposedly we hadn’t made any claims before. I told the guy I’d have a look online and get back if interested. No way I’m calling them back!NottinghamshireNational Appliance Cover5 yearsMy mum got a call from someone pushing washing machine insurance charging £99 a month, ridiculous! Honestly, if it were true, might as well chuck the old one and get a brand new one. I really wish I’d picked up instead of her. They rang again just now but I missed it. Not much I can do now, but if they call again, they’re in for a surprise. Trying to figure out a clever way to mess with them. Can’t call the number back or find out who it is. Absolute scumbags!5 yearsSomebody rang up my old mum saying she owed money for an appliance cover plan she never signed up for. Luckily, the line was rubbish and I couldn’t make out what they were on about properly, so no payments were made or anything.5 yearsGot a call about some insurance for my kitchen stuff, sounded dodgy to me. Pretty sure it was a scam trying to get me to pay for something useless. Watch out if you get calls about insuring your appliances!5 yearsThere's been about 4 or 5 calls a day from these scammers to my dad, and we're struggling to find a way to stop them. They're really pushy and it's clear they're not a proper business, which is pretty upsetting.5 yearsThey mentioned something about checking out a washing machine and then claimed to be from Home Appliances insurance. They said since we never made a claim, they’d lower the coverage amount. It’s definitely a scam, we don’t actually have any cover with them.5 yearsGot calls all the time from some company called National Appliance rubbish or something, going on about the old person linked to my number needing to pay for some sort of kitchen appliance protection or whatever. They definitely ring me a couple of times a week. Honestly, who'd bother insuring something that costs nearly the same as buying brand new? Feels like they’re targeting older folks who used to insure everything back when things were way more expensive. When I asked for a password, I basically told them to jog on with a very clear message.National Appliance5 yearsMy brother, who’s quite vulnerable, keeps getting calls from this company called National Appliances or something. They keep telling him he’s got some kind of order with them, but he definitely doesn’t. When my sister answered the phone, the bloke on the other end started yelling at her, saying my brother would have to pay a fine. It’s shocking that this kind of behaviour is allowed to happen.National Appliances5 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from National Appliance Cover about my washing machine insurance supposedly running out. I told the bloke I never signed up for any cover and didn’t have any documents to prove it. He kept insisting I did have cover and claimed he had a recording where I confirmed I had the paperwork. Then he said he’d pass me onto a mate in their team. I told him I never agreed to that and just hung up. Definitely a scam trying to trick you into handing over cash or your bank details. Proper annoying.National Appliance Cover5 yearsGot a call from someone banging on about some tv insurance running out. I didn’t bother being nice and just told them to shove off.5 yearsI keep getting calls from this number and honestly, it feels a bit dodgy. They keep telling me I have some sort of home appliances insurance with them, which is completely wrong. I've argued with them a few times now, but they just won't back down. Feels like a scam to me.5 yearsSo this guy rings up about washing machine insurance, right? I explained mine's super old and he starts saying it's definitely insured. Nah, I wasn’t having it. Then he tries to pitch me some discounted insurance deal for it. Told him I’m done with all these insurance offers and just ended the call.5 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be about home appliance insurance, said they could lower my policy costs.5 yearsAbsolute rip-off, steer well clear of this one!5 yearsI got a call saying I hadn’t claimed on my washing machine for the past couple of years, and the guy offered me 40% off my premium. I told him my appliances are all new and still covered under warranty. He insisted he had my info from the contract and said I’d have to pay no matter what, or they’d take me to court and I’d still owe them. I told him where to stick it and hung up. They called again asking me to be polite, but I just put the phone down. When they rang yet again, I didn’t even answer. Total scam if you ask me.5 yearsI never picked up as I checked this number here before answering! I’ve reported these calls through the financial ombudsman, but honestly the real issue is with the people behind the blocked “call centre” numbers and the way they keep generating new phone numbers. They seem to rotate through about 50 different numbers. Every time I looked up a number, it was from the same area. Watch out, it’s all pretty suspicious stuff happening!5 yearsGot a call from a woman named Samantha claiming my mother-in-law had an insurance policy from two years back and needed to pay again to keep it going. I told her that wasn’t necessary since my mother-in-law already had coverage elsewhere. Then Samantha said there’d be a £150 fee to cancel the contract. I made it clear we weren’t paying and warned that I’d report them and speak out publicly about harassing a vulnerable 91-year-old.Samantha5 yearsThis number rang me not once, but twice today. A bloke who said his name was 'Richard' called, but as soon as I picked up, he just hung up. Since I don't know anyone named Richard, I figured I'd see if anyone else has had a similar experience.Richard5 yearsThis number rang my husband earlier, and then me about an hour ago. The bloke said his name was Dean and kept going on about owing for washing machine cover, which we definitely don’t have. I told him straight that it sounded like a scam, plus if we did have any insurance it’d be in either our names, so there’s no way he should be talking to both of us, it's against data rules.Dean5 yearsWatch out for those washing machine insurance calls - they're a total scam. Best to just ignore and not get involved at all.5 yearsI got a call about some supposed washing machine insurance I apparently had to pay for. When I asked for more info, they threatened to sue me. It was pretty scary but I didn’t hand over any of my bank details. They kept going on about fines and court fees I’d have to cover.5 yearsGot a call again from 01544248405, supposedly about washing machine insurance I’ve had for a couple of years. They said since I haven’t claimed anything, they’d lower my payments. I asked what washing machine they meant, but they insisted I answer some security questions first, saying it could be anyone. I told them back that they could be anyone too. After a while, they mentioned the first four digits of the card they had on file, but I don’t know any card starting with those numbers. So, I just ended the call.5 yearsHad a call from someone called Tara about washing machine insurance, just like one I mentioned before on 20/1/21. Exact same thing going on, definitely a scam.5 yearsSame as always - they try to sell some bogus insurance for my washing machine or something. I told the bloke I wasn’t falling for that rubbish and to get lost, or something like that.5 yearsShe said her name was Tara and claimed I had insurance on my washing machine for a couple of years, with another three years left. She offered to lower my payments since I'd never made a claim but mentioned that the card they tried to charge last November had expired. I told her I never had any cover and didn’t recognise the card number she gave me. She said she’d check and ring me back. It’s crazy with all that’s happening around us that these folks don’t feel guilty trying to con people out of their cash!!!Tara5 yearsGot a call from some company saying my washing machine insurance was gonna be cancelled soon but since I hadn’t made any claims, they’d lower the price. I told them I don’t have any cover with them anyway. Then they said if I want to cancel, it’d be £150. They asked for my debit card info, which I didn’t give. Ended the call straight away.5 yearsSomeone kept ringing me, claiming I was behind on payments for a washing machine cover for three years. I told them they were wrong and hung up. Then they called twice more, threatening to take legal action.5 yearsI've been getting loads of calls from them claiming I've got stuff insured through their company. The thing is, I've never signed up for any insurance with these lot. I've even told my bank to block any payments going to them. Plus, I’ve reported what's going on to Action Fraud.Action Fraud6 yearsGot a call from someone asking for my husband, and when I asked what it was about, they said something about washing machine insurance. I told them I don’t have any and just hung up. They called me at 6:55 in the evening. Can’t something be done to stop these annoying calls? They’re really quite scary sometimes.6 yearsJust like others have said, they kept threatening legal action unless I renewed by 2024. They sounded really convincing, even gave a password that I’d used before. Only afterwards did I realise I’d changed that password and stopped using the old one!6 yearsJust like others have said, this looks like a total scam, so watch out!6 yearsSo, this number called me claiming to be from some national company, saying my TV and washing machine cover was overdue. They didn’t have any paperwork with their company name, and when I asked if there was any file under my name, they said I still had three years left on the contract, paying just £60 a year. I told them I wasn’t interested, but then they started threatening to take me to court. I just hung up. After that, they kept ringing me again and again.6 yearsI got a call from NEC about some washing insurance, saying I could get a 50% off discount on my renewal. They kept telling me I couldn’t cancel once the plan was started and even threatened court action. Then they asked me for my bank card details, which felt really dodgy. I just ended up hanging up cause it was all a bit too scary for me.NEC6 yearsGot a call right as i was having dinner, some bloke telling me i had an insurance policy with them, which i definitely didnt. He tried to pressure me for a one-time payment to "close the policy". Was really threatening, said i’d end up in debt if i didnt cough up. Felt like a total scam.6 yearsgot a call saying my washing machine insurance payment was overdue, which was news to me. when i asked them which brand my machine was, they just hung up straight away. watch out and dont share any info with them!Submit Your Own Report (01544 248405)
