I reckon this number belongs to Discount Landlord. I'm guessing it's connected to a house I sold in England, and somehow they got my info from a solicitor over in Leicester.

Who on earth are these lot! Got a couple of calls from them this arvo, and lucky me, I blocked their number after reading the comments here. Can you believe it, my phone has shown their ID 23 times already! They kept ringing non-stop over just a few hours. Such muppets, honestly, why can't they just leave folks alone? There really ought to be laws to punish these twats properly and slap them with big fines.

I was trying to get quotes for static caravan insurance using a comparison website. Without my knowledge, my phone number was shared with a bunch of companies. Since then, this number has been ringing me non stop, like every minute or something. Luckily I blocked it so I’m not getting annoyed by the constant calls. Feels like pure harassment to me.

This number's been ringing me nonstop for about a week, like 5 or 6 calls every day. Luckily I blocked it after a few days so it doesn’t buzz my phone anymore but it still pops up in my call log. These jokers are such a pain in the arse and honestly, they should get shut down.

they kept ringing me every 20 minutes, i wasnt able to pick up cause i was busy on my other line. left loads of silent voicemails. after about 15 calls i finally picked up and told them to stop contacting me. this kind of behaviour is just harassment, not how a business should operate.

I've received a barrage of calls from a firm named Discount Ins - they’ve rung me five times today alone, yet not once did they bother to leave a voicemail. The date is the 19th of November, and I have a strong suspicion they got hold of my number when I was comparing car insurance through Money Supermarket and a Google search last night. Looks like one of those platforms has leaked my details! I had explicitly stated that I didn’t want any calls coming my way! So, what are my options now? I managed to uncover who they were since their information popped up when I searched for the number.

Came across a message on a different platform from a bloke who’s a director at this insurance firm. He mentioned I should ring their main toll-free number, which is 0800 294 4522, and request to be taken off their call list. So, I decided to give it a whirl and had a chat with a lovely chap who was quite apologetic. He assured me he’d sort it out and remove my details. Fingers crossed this does the trick!
