I received a call from a company named Red Star Financial Management Ltd, which seemed to be associated with PPI, credit cards, and vehicle finance loans.

This number has been persistently calling me every few days for the last couple of months. It seems to be a debt collection agency that keeps ringing until I finally pick up, but I’ve yet to answer their calls.

I find myself getting at least a couple of calls each day from this number, and honestly, it’s becoming quite bothersome.

They keep calling me but when I pick up, there’s no one on the other end. It’s been happening nonstop.

Just keep them chatting for ages and use up all their time. Don't tell them anything real, just make stuff up as you go along. Then, towards the end, tell them what you've been doing. If loads of us do this, maybe they'll catch on and stop bothering people.

This number has been bugging me with loads of unwanted calls that just go straight to voicemail. But when you listen to the message, it’s just some office background noise and chatter, no proper message or anything. I rang the number back and a man picked up. When I asked why they kept ringing me, he launched into a sales spiel. I told him to quit calling me, but he wouldn’t let me get a word in. Eventually, I had enough and told him to shut up and stop calling me again. I raised my voice at him, and then he just hung up.

These lot keep calling non stop, and somehow they’ve got both my mobile and my home number even though I never share my mobile with anyone. They ring multiple times each day. Today I decided to ring them back. At first, a woman answered saying, "Good morning, you’ve reached Web Start, all our lines are busy, your call is in a queue." Then the call was transferred and another woman said they were too busy right now and asked me to leave my details for a callback. I just hung up after that.

More times than not, they give me a bell when I’m overseas for work, which is a proper nightmare. I’m not always in Europe, so sometimes it’s ridiculous o’clock here, and it’s pretty frustrating. I’ve wanted to get hold of them to tell them to stop hassling me, but when I try calling back, the line just cuts out. Truth be told, I’d love to do the same to their Manchester office. If I ever find myself nearby, I might just pop in and sort it face to face.

Got a call out of the blue about PPI, and they asked for loads of financial stuff. Ended up telling them which bank I use, the credit card details, plus my postcode and even the house name and number. Now I'm feeling a bit uneasy, worried that someone might use all this info for dodgy purposes.

Loads of calls from these lot saying I’ve been in an accident and there’s thousands I can claim. I told them to just go ahead and send the cash then! It sounds too good to be true, but they keep ringing anyway.

I told them to stop ringing me but they called again like twice in 5 minutes, proper annoying. I'd already put the number down as spam ages ago so usually I just don’t pick up. Reckon I didn’t see who it was this time and just lost it. 1/7/14 16.55

I've been getting calls from this number quite a bit, but the moment I pick up, they just hang up on me. I'm kinda worried if I'm gonna get charged for some sort of redirected call or something?

This pesky outfit keeps ringing me, to the point of absolute annoyance. I've had to resort to blocking their number on my phone. How frustrating!
12 years
I get calls from them around six times daily. Luckily, I've got this NQ call blocker on my phone, so every ring I see gets automatically blocked. Still scratching my head about how they even got my number, especially since I'm in Northern Ireland.

A few months back, I left a complaint here and then switched my number. Just a couple days after the change, those annoying people called me once more. My mum’s really poorly in hospital at the moment, and I don’t need these idiots ringing non-stop. They’ve got no decency at all!

I've received no fewer than ten missed calls from 0161-827-8150. I really thought they might eventually get the hint and stop. But, as the saying goes, "you know what thought did"!

They come across as pushy and completely untruthful. Their whole sales spiel is made up nonsense and they couldn’t care less what you say back to them. Honestly, I don’t understand how they think that’s a proper way to run a business.

I’ve had a few missed calls from this number lately, but no voicemail left behind. Big thanks to everyone who’s shared about how they can be quite aggressive and pushy - it’s definitely helped me decide to block them. If they keep ringing and you’re unable to block them, just stay cool and politely ask them to take your number off their list. Getting worked up won’t bother them one bit, so keep your cool. Also, I really like this site - it’s put my mind at ease knowing I’m not missing anything important by ignoring these annoying calls!

I picked up when this number rang, and the only thing I caught was "thirty minutes for twenty quid" before they just hung up. Honestly, they should be caught by the police and learn a good lesson.

For pretty much the last few weeks, they've been ringing me up nearly every day. I've just been ignoring the calls most of the time, told them I'm not into whatever they're offering, and there was this one time where I just told them to piss off.

I’m being inundated with calls regarding PPI refunds - honestly, I get a trio of them each day! It’s become quite burdensome, to say the least. Today, I finally lost my patience and confronted one of their reps about the ridiculousness of their operation. I pointed out that hardly any claims are actually settled, and the bloke on the other end had the audacity to tell me to ‘bugger off.’ Charming, isn’t it?

I’m battling terminal kidney cancer and getting a good night’s sleep is already tough enough. Then I get calls from telemarketers who don’t even know who I am. The last one started with “How are you today?” - honestly, I was feeling awful, suffering bad side effects from meds. These interruptions stress me out so much, especially since I rely on temazepam just to get some rest, only to be jolted awake by some stranger trying to sell me something I don’t care about!

I thought it was a delivery guy so I picked up all excited.

This bloke said his name was Mario but asked some odd question I couldn’t quite catch.
When I asked what company he was with, he just cut me off.

Luckily the internet warned me about these calls, so I’m not falling for it next time. :)

They’ve got pages on Facebook and Twitter too if you fancy having a bit of a moan at them online.

They've rung me up twice claiming I’m owed PPI from an old credit card. Thing is, I changed my phone number ages ago, so how on earth did they track this one down? When I asked, they said they get numbers from their ‘search company’ - yeah, right. I told them I’d look them up online and call back if I was interested :) I googled ‘Red Star’ with the phone number and found nothing real, just these sketchy pages like this one. So, I’m done wasting time. Thanks everyone for sharing what you’ve been through.
