8 yearsFirst off, I just let him blabber on for a good 15 minutes on purpose. When I was ready to jump in, I gave him a piece of my mind about having the worst day since he set foot here (and in case you’re wonderin’, I kept it polite, no swearing). In the end, I made sure both him and his company knew exactly where to shove it, especially seeing as he was ringin’ me at 10:20 at night!10 yearsThey keep callin my work phone over n over even tho i told em its my work number n to stop. I asked if I could call their mobile back they said no. I asked who was it and then they just hung up. Pretty sure its some foreign call centre.10 yearsI'm absolutely fed up with these annoying fools calling me multiple times daily. Every time they bother me, I just tell them to get lost.10 yearsI’m really reaching the end of my tether with these numpties calling me multiple times throughout the day, even late into the evening! Now when they ring, I tend to respond with a good old “Jog on!” Honestly, the more persistent they are, the ruder I feel inclined to be!10 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with First Solutions, told me a letter was on its way about a pension refund! Total con, they kept ringing non stop, so frustrating! I’m ex directory but somehow they had my name and number!First Solutions10 yearsThis number keeps ringing me non stop evening time, always after 6. I dont even let them say a word, I just whistle super loud into the phone. Hopefully they get the hint and quit calling. Usually any calls that come after 6pm out of nowhere are scams anyway.10 yearsI keep getting calls from this number multiple times each week, and it’s almost always around 6 in the evening. I’ve stopped giving them the opportunity to say anything; I either simply hang up or let the answering machine pick up, at which point they normally just end the call themselves. I reckon they’ll tire of this game eventually, but if they don’t, I’m more than happy to keep doing what I do best-blasting a ridiculously loud whistle right into the receiver.10 yearsGot a call from them with the same pension nonsense others have mentioned. I ended up sharing a bit about my workplace pensions before it clicked they might be scammers. Told them to send any paperwork through as I won’t agree to anything over the phone. What annoys me most is how they had my name and address despite me being ex-directory. These 0161 calls just don’t stop! Usually I just block them, but I picked up this time thinking it was something important.10 yearsGot a call in the evening to my 76 year old mum who’s just lost her husband. She believed it was about his pension. Absolutely appalling!10 yearsGot a call from First Solutions, they wanted info about my pension.First Solutions10 yearsFirst solutions are just a nightmare, ive told them so many times to stop calling but they just dont listen, so fed up with it nowFirst Solutions10 yearsI got a call from "First Solutions" and they actually knew my full name and where I live. When I asked the caller to use my last name instead of my first, they got really annoyed. I also asked them to explain what the call was about properly, but all I got was a mumble before they suddenly hung up. I've been signed up to the TPS for ages, but it doesn't seem to stop this kind of thing. I'd say everyone should report these calls to the TPS, maybe that'll help put a brake on these dodgy calls.SolutionsPreference ServiceTPS10 yearsFirst solutions called claiming to be from their company and said I’d get a letter soon about a potential refund on my pension. I knew straight away it was a cold call and just ended the call. What annoys me most is they rang my work phone - no idea how they got that number.First Solutions10 yearsSomeone called saying they were from First Solutions and started asking about my pension. I knew I didn’t have anything with them, so I just told them I wasn’t interested and they hung up straight away.First Solutions10 yearsIt's the same old tale. I've been getting constant calls from this annoying spammer. I nearly lost my patience just a moment ago. My heart goes out to the vulnerable elderly folks who might be tricked by this company's tactics into handing over their payment info. Such a disgrace!10 yearsFirst Solutions pension, I told them to take me off their list ages ago. They kept ringing me non stop, so in the end I just blocked the number.First Solutions10 yearsGot a call from First Solutions saying they've sent a letter and would look into my pension. They already had my name and address and asked if my pension was private or frozen. They also mentioned something about the government and taking steps to fix bad pensions. I told them I’m not sharing personal details with strangers calling me out of the blue. They kept pushing though.First Solutions10 yearsFirst Solutions called saying they wanted to do a pension review. But as soon as I began questioning them about how they got my info, they just hung up on me!!First Solutions10 yearsSome bloke said he was from First Solution and started asking about my pension. When I asked why he needed to know, he said, 'I’m calling from Saudi Arabia.' Then he just hung up on me.Saudi Arabia10 yearsHarrington Advisory calling again, same rubbish about PPI but with new numbers. My blocked list is way longer than my actual contacts now!!!Harrington Advisory10 yearsI really wish these calls would just quit, they ring nonstop!10 yearsSo many irritating calls, just blocked them all.10 yearsThey rang my work line and the moment I mentioned the business address, they said it was the wrong number and just ended the call.10 yearsSome bloke rang me saying my pension set-up was dodgy and he could fix it. I told him I have Tourette’s, so most of what I said to him (you can imagine the rest) got him calling me names before he slammed the phone down. Then he called back just 5 minutes later. You’ve probably worked it out already. After three more calls from that number, I haven’t heard from him since.Tourette10 yearsFirst Solutions has been ringing me non stop and it's getting well annoying now. I already told them to stop calling but they just won't listen. Can't they be fined or something to make them stop bothering us? Also, I just heard BT offer a free call blocking service for a year if you haven't got it yet, might be worth checking out for anyone else fed up with these calls.First SolutionsBT10 yearsThis bloke already knew my name and where I live then tried to offer me a pension review. I had to tell him twice that I’m more than able to handle my own pension, no help needed. He then asked what sort of pensions I had - I just hung up straight away. Honestly, I don’t even want to imagine what else he might have asked for or how that info would’ve been used! These sorts of calls really need to be cracked down on.10 yearsI've received calls from this number over the last few days - in fact, I feel like I’ve been on a peculiar merry-go-round with them! They’ve rang me day in and day out, and honestly, I’ve lost count at this stage. They keep babbling on about some PENSION rebate, but I’ve never even had a pension, so it’s quite baffling. What strikes me as particularly odd is that they don’t attempt to sell me anything - they just cut off the call! It makes me wonder what the point of these persistent calls is. I really wish I had caller ID to get to the bottom of this. Has anyone else heard back from a proper authority regarding what these calls are all about? It would be great to shed some light on this ongoing mystery!10 yearsThis firm rings me like 4 to 6 times daily, and ive asked them loads of times to remove my info and stop pestering me but they just dont listen. I was away on holiday overseas last week and they didn't stop blowing up my phone. I honestly feel like i should take action against them for harassment, its totally driving me mad with all their constant calls.10 yearsIt said Manchester on the caller ID but once he picked up and heard my accent we ended up talking about Umhlanga, which is where he was ringing me from in South Africa. They were trying to sell pension plans and not even using proper British people, so I just BLOCKED them.ManchesterUmhlangaSouth Africa10 yearsI certainly wouldn’t take any advice from these individuals; their manners leave much to be desired!10 yearsThis woman kept ringing me again and again. She was really impolite and had a quite big attitude.10 yearsthis number is such a pain, ive blocked it loads of times but it somehow keeps ringing through. got a dozen calls from it in just one morning! seriously, something has got to be done to put an end to these annoying calls.10 yearsI've just had the most ridiculous experience-this number has been ringing me incessantly, a staggering eight times in the past hour alone!10 yearsIt’s rather amusing that these individuals are touting themselves as pension consultants, promising to enhance your future pension, yet they seem oblivious to the current pension age regulations for this year! Quite the contradiction, isn’t it?10 yearsWas called about some pension thing. I dont even have one but they wouldnt stop ringing. Proper annoying and just plain rude.10 yearsA chap rang me earlier, inquiring if I was the individual he mentioned. Upon my insistence that I wasn't, he promptly cut the line. I'm absolutely fed up with these daft cold callers - it’s utterly infuriating!10 yearsI was tied up at the time so didn’t pick up.10 yearsReally friendly folks over at First Solutions. They ring me nearly daily, asking how things are going. I usually say I'm good, thanks for checking in, and then nicely hang up.First Solutions10 yearsStarting to get really fed up with this number, blocked it ages ago but they still manage to call me! honestly just ignore it, it isn’t worth picking up. just block straight away and save yourself the hassle.10 yearsso annoyed with these calls, like they just dont get when youre done with them10 yearsThe call went unanswered and there were no voicemails left behind.10 yearsKeeps ringing non stop!!10 yearsI had a chat with these folks a few weeks back and told them my pension situation's all sorted and going fine. I said thanks for checking in and they promised not to ring again. Well, guess what? They keep calling every single day, so I've had to block the number now!10 yearsThey keep ringing my mobile loads of times a day and just hang up as soon as I pick up! Yesterday they rang like three times in a row and hung up every single time when I answered! I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.10 yearsThey called saying I was owed a pension payout. I told them I don't even have a pension and asked them to stop calling since this wasn’t the first time.10 yearsHad a really pushy chat with this bloke. Told him I didn’t wanna talk about my earnings but he just kept pestering me. Ended up blocking the number.10 yearsThey keep ringing me nonstop but I just ignore it cos they always call at some daft hour in the evening.10 years01616417158 keeps ringing but when I answer they just hang up. Really annoying me now.10 years01616417158 First Solutions called, asked to speak to my wife. When I said she wasn’t available and asked what it was about, the lady sounded really short and just wanted to hang up ASAP.First Solutions10 yearsI've been receiving calls from this number nearly every single day. Strangely, they never leave a voicemail. Just yesterday, I picked up the phone, and it was a challenge to grasp what the caller was saying. The only discernible part was something about him having money for me, and he was attempting to verify if I still resided at a particular address that he stated. I outright declined to confirm it. After that, he abruptly hung up. I then received two more calls from the same number later on, but I chose not to pick up. When I tried calling back, I was met with a recording that offered me the option to remove my number from their list by pressing 1. I pressed it, but I suspect all I did was confirm my identity to them, as those persistent calls show no sign of stopping. I'm convinced it's a scam.10 yearsThey just won't stop ringing, so irritating.10 yearsCalls me then just drops the call, about three or four times daily.10 yearsReally pushy telemarketer ringing up about a supposed free pension check.10 yearsIt kept ringing then cut off straight away quite a few times. I’ve blocked the number now.10 yearsI picked up but no one said anything and they hung up right away. I looked up the number here and put it on my blocked list. Still, I keep getting calls from them like 5 times every day, which is really annoying.10 yearsI told her I wasn’t interested and the lady on the line was really nasty!10 yearsThey ring me like 3 or 4 times every single day, I pick up and there's just silence. SO FRUSTRATING!!!10 yearsI picked up the phone, only for the individual on the other end to inquire right away if I was older than thirty. I replied in the negative, and just like that, the line went dead. There was no introduction or indication of who they represented. Definitely dodgy, if you ask me!10 yearsI received a call earlier today and requested to know who was on the line, but I couldn't locate anything about First Solutions on the web. When I asked to speak to a manager, the representative became quite confrontational and dismissed my request, despite my polite appeal for a calmer dialogue. They mentioned, "I didn't suggest you search for us online," which struck me as rather unprofessional. It’s rather disconcerting that a legitimate business would handle matters in such a manner. To make matters worse, if I try to ring back to voice my concerns, I am met with an automated message that leaves no chance of reaching a real person.First Solutions10 yearsI just got a call from this number. The bloke spoke with an accent and claimed he was from First Solutions, saying I’d get a letter in the post soon. I told him it sounded like a scam and he actually laughed! I asked him if he knew my address and he gave an old one, lucky for me. When I told him to take me off his list, he just kept chuckling and acting all cheeky.First Solutions10 yearsThis number keeps ringing me non stop and when I got to talk to them, they said they were calling about my private pension and mentioned they’d send me a letter in the post. They did know my address but it was an old one, so I just told them I don’t have a private pension and then they just ended the call. You’d think if they were really from people’s pension they’d actually say that straight away.10 yearsGot a call from First Solutions, something about loan refunds or whatever. Best just block the number, mate.First Solutions10 yearsI've had calls from 01616417158 quite a few times now. When my partner picked up and asked what they wanted with me, the bloke on the other end started swearing and being really rude, then he hung up. After that, he rang me from another number. Looks like a bunch of scammers trying to trick us Brits into some dodgy scheme!10 yearsThey ring a few times a week but I never pick up, and they never leave a message. Definitely not anyone important.10 yearsAfter missing the call, there was no follow-up via text or email.10 yearsIf this is the same First Solutions that rang me earlier today supposedly from Birmingham, looks like they’re now saying they’re from Manchester as well. They’ve tried calling me twice today, I missed both calls and will just be blocking them.First SolutionsBirminghamManchester10 yearsThis number keeps giving me a bell!10 yearsHad been getting nonstop calls for weeks so finally answered just to make them stop. They started going on about helping me reclaim PPI money. Tried to hang up quickly but got stuck listening for a bit before I could finally end it. Is this some kind of scam? Wondering what details they might be able to grab from my phone?10 years01616417158 - My husband picked up and they kept asking for me by name, like three times. He wondered what they wanted and then they just ended the call. Got two calls from them today!10 yearsI received a call regarding claims for Payment Protection Insurance.Payment Protection Insurance10 yearsThey've been ringing me daily for weeks on end. I've simply chosen to ignore it every time.10 yearsWhat a muppet! He read out some card saying we'd get a letter in the post, then just ended the call. Proper waste of time.10 yearsPut the phone down as soon as i picked up.10 yearsjust keeps ringing then cutting off.10 yearsThis number rings me nonstop every day and just cuts off after a few seconds without any words.10 yearsso irritating, keeps ringing non stop!10 yearsThey won't quit ringing me, speak in really bad English, and can't even get my name right. I've told them to buzz off a bunch of times (using some not-so-polite language). I've had enough and blocked the number now.10 yearsI'm absolutely fed up with this nonsense; they didn't pick up the phone.10 yearsI'm absolutely knackered by these constant calls; they ring me every single day!10 yearsI received a call from someone claiming that my bank was due to pay me back some PPI related to a loan. Naturally, I inquired which bank was supposedly involved. To my surprise, he listed off ten different banks! If he was calling me regarding the matter, you'd think he would know which bank was involved. Once I pointed out that none of those banks were the ones I deal with, he abruptly hung up. When are these ridiculous calls ever going to come to an end? I must be inundated with 10 to 20 of them each week. I try blocking every number, yet the calls just keep piling up. This particular one came from a number in Manchester, which appeared on my caller ID.Manchester10 years‘first solutions’ calling again with that obvious Indian accent. Told me loads of rubbish and wouldn’t share any details. Got really confrontational when I said I’m on the TPS. They keep ringing non-stop. Next time, I’m planning to mess with them proper. Should I spin a yarn about being from Doctor Who, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, or Jurassic Park? You lot tell me!TPSWhoBillTedJurassic Park10 yearsSomeone with a non-British accent said my last name and then just cut off. Been getting calls from this number every day.11 yearsI keep getting calls from this number every single day about PPI related to a name that rings absolutely no bells for me. I've reached out multiple times requesting that they remove my number from their list, yet it seems to fall on deaf ears. Quite frustrating, to be honest!11 yearsI received a call from someone asking for me, but when I requested them to take my number off their list, they flatly refused and just cut the line. - Caller: "PPI Reclaim"Caller11 yearsI’m absolutely at my wit's end with this number incessantly ringing my mobile! They really ought to take the hint and clear off!11 yearsAbsolutely fed up with those constant PPI calls, it's like they never take a hint!11 yearsI received numerous missed calls from this number, and it became rather tiresome. When I eventually answered, the individual on the other end was quite impolite and refused to accept my refusal to engage with their service. Despite my insistence on having my details removed from their records, they persisted in their attempts to solicit me. Truth be told, I'm not interested in pursuing a PPI claim at all. - caller: 0161 641 751811 yearsReceived a call on my mobile, which is registered with the TPS, and as soon as I picked up, it went silent. I should've anticipated that! Turns out it's from a firm named First Solutions - a bloody telemarketer, no doubt. If only I could come up with a fitting end for them - complete and utter vanishings would be splendid!TPSFirst Solutions11 yearsGot a call about some extra fee on a bank package, said it might show up in the post soon.

They’re now firmly on my blocked list!Payment Protection Insurance11 yearsThey called claiming to be First Solutions and already knew my address and even which credit cards I own. When I asked them what it was about, a woman with a very thick accent eventually said it was something to do with PPI. I’m still wondering how they got all that info. I told her I wasn’t interested and told them not to ring me again.First Solutions11 yearsGot a random call from an unfamiliar number today. Like I always do, I hit 'answer' but just leave the phone down without saying anything.
