Never get a reply when I ring back. Loads of calls come from this number and then my bill shoots up with charges from chat lines. I’ve told the phone company who provides my line that I’ve stopped my direct debit and will just pay what I actually owe once I get the proper bill. Tomorrow, I’m going to reach out to the claims regulator and also the legal ombudsman to sort this out. When I searched the number online, heaps of others have had the same problems. Looks like the calls come from somewhere called Action Direct in South Wales. You can contact me at edwardsyrda@btinternet[###].

I get calls from these folks several times a day, usually two or three times. Every time I pick up, there’s complete silence and then they just hang up. It’s really irritating and quite disrespectful.

This company keeps ringing me all the time, except for Christmas Day so far. They call me first thing in the morning around 8:15 and then again at half past three in the afternoon. Is there anything I can do to put an end to these calls?

I get calls from them almost every day, just like lots of others have said. They never leave a message and no one picks up when I try back. It’s so annoying, why isn’t there a way to stop this??

Honestly, it’s been nonstop, every morning and evening for like two months straight. The only day my phone stays quiet is Sunday, thank goodness. If anyone knows where I can report this, I’d be really grateful! x

This number keeps ringing me nonstop but never goes to voicemail. I even spoke to BT for 20 minutes but no help at all. I added it to my block list but calls still get through. When you do a call check, a voice says "number not available." There's only like 10 related numbers connected to it. In this day and age, someone should really have the tech to put an end to this.

Is it possible to speak to a lawyer about these calls? We're pensioners and it's really taking a toll on our well-being. Surely this counts as harassment?

I get calls from this number all the time, like about five times every day, the first one usually comes through around 8:50 in the morning. Honestly, can't these people just leave me alone?

This number has been calling me a couple of times every day for a few weeks. I managed to pick up twice - the first time, they just hung up right away, and the second time I could hear a lot of noise in the background like a call centre, then they dropped the call. I tried calling it back but it says the number isn’t valid.
9 years
Some lot were on the phone saying I had PPI owed to me and that I’d already been paid back, but apparently I was entitled to more. I figured it was only fair to just let it go since I trust my bank to be honest, but now these clowns reckon I gotta pay them with a bill or summat. What for exactly? Absolutely daft if you ask me!
9 years
Anyone know whose phone this is? Wonderin if I should answer or if it might be a spam call?
9 years
I reckon this might be Action Direct calling, cos every time I answer, it's dead quiet. They must have grabbed my number from some PPI claim or something. Honestly, all they've done is annoy me and probably chuck my number onto some spam list. Proper rubbish firm and a total waste of time, if you ask me.

This number has been blowing up my phone for weeks, ringing like 5 times a day. Usually, I just ignore it but picked up today. They asked for my name, I told them I wasn't home as I've been out. When I asked who it was, they just cut the call. Honestly, it's getting well annoying now.

I’ve received calls from this number and it’s definitely linked to a firm operating out of South Wales. Their tactics are nothing short of harassment, and it’s clear that the authorities have been informed. I wouldn’t be surprised if this company faced closure before too long.

This number keeps ringing me around three times a day on my mobile and even though I've blocked it, they somehow got through and left a voicemail. They told me to call 0800 668 1765 if I wanted to stop the calls, but when I tried, the number didn’t work at all. Really frustrating!

Yeah, it’s definitely Action Direct calling, but I’ve no clue why they keep using that name. We’ve put them on block now, so their number shows up but the phone hardly ever rings. They buzz through loads of times during the day, all robotic sounding. What’s the point? Feels like it’s got to be against the law. Has anyone else tried ringing them back to see what happens?

This number has been ringing me non stop for months now, and lately it’s ramped up to about 6 calls a day on both my landline and mobile. If it’s on my mobile I just ignore it, but the landline I pick up not recognising the number. The weird part is no one ever says a word when I answer, it’s really unsettling not knowing who’s behind all these silent calls.

Can anyone tell me who owns 0161359429? The number seems short, just 10 digits instead of the usual 11.

Someone please do something to make it stop!

I’m having the same problem as others here.. phone rings but nobody speaks when I pick up and there’s no voicemail left either?

I got a call from this number today, and there was this posh lady on the line, but she hung up before I could ask who she was. I also keep getting calls from a Birmingham number, doing pretty much the same thing. Now about this Manchester one - it’s just 10 digits, so if you try ringing back, it says the number’s not valid. Feels like I’m stuck in some kind of weird prank war between Manchester and Birmingham, with an owl making all these calls or something!
