We received a call from this number during the late hours, around 11pm the other night. Honestly, it baffled us-do these folks not take a moment to rest?

For the past several days, we’ve been getting calls from this number, but we’ve never bothered to answer until today. A bloke on the other end asked for someone named Scott, but I haven't the foggiest who that is, and it certainly wasn't the name of the previous tenant either. I told him to hang on while we had the phone, and then we just left it off the hook while we popped out for some lunch-what a right laugh! They can foot the bill! I’ve lodged a complaint with BT and Nationwide Building Society, as they seemed to be giving off that vibe!

We received a missed call from this unknown number, and as soon as we called back, we were greeted by a recorded message from UK Financial Solutions. Shortly after, they attempted to put us through to someone else.

I've been bombarded by this number ringing my mobile, not to mention a slew of other similar ones. Honestly, it's best to just block them and carry on with your life-eventually, they'll get fed up, I reckon! Alternatively, investing in a new mobile could really put a stop to their antics. And for heaven's sake, never divulge your home number to these daft businesses; they'll just pester you non-stop!

I've been inundated with calls from this number all day long, chasing after someone who clearly has never resided at my address. I've kindly requested them to cease calling, as I'm expecting an important call about my husband who is quite poorly in hospital. Each time I answer, they're all giggles at the other end, claiming to be from Direct Finance. It's incredibly frustrating!

I've been receiving incessant calls from a firm named Nationwide Financial Services. At one point, they were ringing me up to ten times a day, then miraculously, it all went quiet for a few months. But lo and behold, they’ve resumed their barrage! What's particularly maddening is that when I try to pick up, they promptly hang up. It feels less like a conversation and more like a persistent game of harassment. Today, I decided I’d had enough. After they called me for the fourth time, I returned the favour and bombarded them with 100 calls in just under 5 minutes, constantly hanging up as soon as someone answered. On the final call, I allowed them to connect and greeted the obviously annoyed representative with, "Frustrating, isn’t it? Now kindly remove my number from your records, because from here on out, I'm going to return every call you make to me with a hundred times the effort!" He simply responded with a resigned “Fine,” and hung up. I had a good laugh about it! Perhaps if enough of us did this, their phone lines would be so choked with our calls that they wouldn’t be able to dial anyone else!

I've received a fair few missed calls from this number and finally decided to answer one today. It turns out it's from the Nationwide Building Society, but we've never reached out to them in the past. I made it quite clear that we're not interested in chatting with them, especially since our details were handed over by that pesky Barclays bank!

So, does anyone happen to know who these individuals are? It’s incredibly frustrating! Do they not ever take a break?

Received a call from this number on our home phone earlier, but as soon as we answered, the caller disconnected! It's been a right nuisance as we've had similar calls throughout the day from numbers that look just the same. What adds a bit of humour to the whole situation is that we’ve never shared our house number with anyone, so how on earth did they get hold of it? Quite the mystery!

Interestingly, we blocked another 0161 number earlier today, and now this one has started ringing us instead. Perhaps they should take the hint that we have no desire to engage in a conversation!

We’re receiving calls from this number as often as ten times in a single day! Surely, there must be regulations in place to protect us from such incessant pestering? The real mystery is, who on earth are these callers? Apparently, they’re linked to something called PaydayUK, but it’s hard to make heads or tails of it all!

For the past month, I've been bombarded with incessant calls-it's been relentless! I've tried returning the calls to request that they remove my number from their list, but to no avail; the calls just keep coming. I can’t answer them while I'm at work, but miraculously I find I've missed a couple of calls during my breaks. I've blocked their number, yet they still manage to ring me. It’s utterly baffling!

Just received a call from this number, and the person on the line claimed to be from some financial firm. They suggested that I was in need of their services, to which I promptly responded with a firm 'no'. Then, out of the blue, they insisted that I had some unpaid debts and wanted to know how I intended to settle them. We pointed out their earlier claim of being a finance company, to which they persisted with the questioning about my debts. Our reply? "Send us to jail then!" To which they replied, "I can't do that." So, we simply said, "Cheers then!" and hung up. What a right bunch of muppets; clearly, they’re operating out of Manchester!

I've received numerous calls from this number. It appears these folks just can't take a hint and continue to pester me about their financial services, which I'm definitely not interested in.

I've been receiving calls from this number as well, and they hang up just as quickly as I pick up. It's absolutely infuriating, and I can't help but wonder if there's a way to report these call centre operators so they face some consequences. I mean, surely there's a system in place for the companies to track their outgoing calls, right? If they were held accountable, perhaps they'd think twice about bothering innocent people. It seems only fair-let's have a proper system where dodgy callers get their comeuppance!

Telepest.co.uk categorises these individuals as part of a financial services operation that seems to operate under a variety of aliases. Having spent some time in a call centre myself (not in finance), I have a hunch that the operator on the other end is likely making random calls just to boost their call count, hoping to meet their daily quotas. The Information Commissioners Office is quite keen on these matters, and they would appreciate any input - you can report such issues online at http://ico.org.uk/concerns/marketing or, if you prefer, you can give them a ring at 02890 278757. The name that crops up most frequently linked with this number is Nationwide, although that could very well be a cover. I hope this information proves useful to you!

I decided to give that number a bell, and it turned out to be a finance firm asking about a loan inquiry. Oddly enough, I haven't looked into loans for well over a year now!

They operate as a financial services provider, and every individual who receives a call from them has previously expressed interest in matters such as loans, credit, or debt assistance. It’s worth noting they don’t engage in unsolicited calls. Instead, they employ an automated dialling system which means if you don’t pick up promptly, the call will simply disconnect. Their operating hours cut off at half past eight, rendering them unable to place calls beyond that time. As previously mentioned, their contacts stem from enquiries received through their website, alongside information sourced from other firms that trade in customer data. So, if you have concerns, it’s best to address those with the entities that are sharing your information. Additionally, they refer to themselves as Nationwide Finance rather than Nationwide Building Society, which is an entirely separate entity.

I've had this number ringing both my mobile and my home phone multiple times. Each time, no message is left when it gets to the answerphone, and if I do manage to pick up, they're eerily silent. I attempted to return the call, but all I get is the line picked up in a rather uncommunicative manner, then they hang up. What’s the point of making these calls if no one says a word? It feels like a complete waste of time and is rather vexing, to be honest. It’s clearly a call centre, given the hints of a northern accent I've picked up in the background.

We received a call that we didn't answer, so we decided to get back in touch. The line was answered by someone identifying themselves as being from Nationwide Financial.

Having endured a staggering six calls today alone, plus an additional eight yesterday, I finally decided to ring this number back and, lo and behold, got an answer. I pointed out to them that I've been bombarded with calls from their establishment, and if I’m ever fortunate enough to pick up (which is rare since personal calls aren’t tolerated in my workplace), they promptly disconnect. I pressed the woman on the line for their identity and the purpose of their incessant calls, but before she could even check any information, she firmly asserted that, “no one from this number has contacted you” and promptly hung up on me. What on earth is going on with their business practices? The last call I received was a particularly charming one at 9:15 last night! Unbelievable!
