I was checking some insurance quotes when this number showed up on my phone. I answered and after a minute no one said anything. It was around 8:30 pm. They called again today, so I just blocked the number.

I was looking for car insurance using comparison websites and clearly told them not to get in touch. Despite that, ive been bombarded with calls. No doubt, those numbers are now blocked.

I wasn’t expecting any calls so I picked up but said nothing while I looked up the number. The call lasted just over a minute and then ended with no one saying a word. I’ve now blocked the caller. I had asked about car insurance for people over 50 but decided not to go ahead and requested contact by email only, no calls, quite irritating.

I agree with what others have said, after checking car insurance comparison websites I keep getting calls even though I always tick the box to only email me - it's so annoying.

Got calls from an insurance firm but clearly got the wrong person. They kept ringing me loads in just 5 minutes. Still reckon i'm somebody else!

I received a call from this number shortly after I requested a car insurance quote through Go Compare. I didn't catch the call on my mobile, so I promptly returned it, only to be met with a recorded message informing me that it was outside of their office hours. If that's the case, why even bother calling me?

I recently obtained a quote from Performance Direct, and I must say, it was twice the cost of what Direct Line offered me! I'd strongly advise against considering them!

Indeed, performance direct seems to have their wires crossed! We received a call from them this morning at nine, and the moment we answered, the line went silent. Just last night, I used their website to request a quote and made it clear I didn’t want any phone calls, emails, or texts - yet here we are! To top it off, their quote was rather steep, around a grand more than the best offer we've encountered. Quite frustrating, really!

i got loads of calls all on the same day right after i did a insurance comparison on “compare the market{###]” but then we ended up buying through saga, and still the calls kept coming even tho it wasnt saga calling.

It’s quite probable that it relates to car insurance, especially since I’ve been seeking a few quotes recently.

Hi there! Just received three calls from this number, but nobody said a word. I've gone ahead and blocked it on our phone. Thanks! Cheers, D.

I received a call from them, along with several other companies, right after I obtained a quote through MCN and Go Compare for bike insurance. This has happened to me in the past as well; they only seem to stop calling once you manage to reach someone and request that they remove your number from their records.

I've absolutely no idea who it was that got in touch, but naturally it's that time of year again for car insurance renewals. What a delight, eh? If we need to get in touch with them, we’ll do so on our own terms. Looks like it’s time to silence the home phone once more, as I can bet we'll be inundated with a never-ending stream of robocalls!

I recently received a call from them that rang once and then went quiet. I dialled them back, and boy, did I get an earful! Apparently, they assure me this won’t happen again.

I believe the individuals behind this number ought to be flagged to BT for their incessant nuisance. I've had two rings within the span of five seconds, only for the line to go dead each time without a soul on the other end. It’s becoming quite tiresome!

It appears that when you request an insurance quote through Go Compare, they promptly share your phone number with one of their partner companies.

no idea who kept ringing me, never answered tho - got about 4 calls over a couple days and no voicemail or anything. I’m guessing it’s probs from some insurance place cos I did an online quote with confusedi###] and compare the market not long ago. even tho i made sure to tick the no call boxes they still keep calling like 7 times a day now, so annoying! aaaargh!

I receive calls from this number multiple times daily-around six times, to be precise. I tend to ignore them since I don't recognise anyone from Romford. Considering my mobile is relatively new, there aren’t many contacts who have this number yet.

I ended up leaving a voicemail that didn’t really say much at all. Shortly after, I received a call back after using a comparison website.

The number 01708436490 continues to bombard my phone with incessant calls, and by the time I manage to answer, it’s just silence on the other side. It’s becoming quite maddening, to be honest. These persistent calls are nothing but a right pain. I do wish the Telephone Preference Service would impose penalties on these nuisance callers. Unfortunately, since I’m only greeted with ringing and no identifiable name, reporting them feels impossible.

I received a couple of missed calls the day after I used confused.com. It seems Performance Direct was listed there, and honestly, their quote is rather rubbish. I really hope they're not anticipating a return call from me!

Yet another unwelcome silent call came through. I could hear the faint sound of typing in the backdrop, almost as if someone picked up the phone and then carelessly let the receiver clatter down next to their keyboard!

This number has been calling us roughly every thirty minutes throughout the evening and well into the night. It's just a load of silence each time! I’m tempted to give them a piece of my mind if they ever finally utter a word. Glad to see that the earlier reports described their quote as rubbish.

Received a couple of quiet rings from this number not long after I was browsing a comparison site. Strange, isn't it?
