Got a call from Discount about renewing my insurance for my buy-to-let flat. Nothing unusual, just the usual yearly reminder from them.

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.

Received a call from this number on Christmas Eve, but there was nobody on the line. To my dismay, I've noticed a charge of 95p for a 13-minute call that I absolutely didn't make, as reflected in my latest bill that just arrived. Anyone have an idea who this could be?

So today, I got called 5 times by some firm named Discount ins, but they never left a voicemail. That was on 19th November. I reckon they got my digits from when I was looking up car insurance comparisons last night on MoneySupermarket and doing a quick Google search. Pretty sure that’s how they tracked me down. I’ve already put a stop to anyone calling ME now. They only revealed who they were after I looked up the number online. What a pain!

I've signed up with TPS and am ex-directory, yet these annoying calls just wont stop! The next time I find out who they are, I'm thinking of turning up at their workplace myself to let them know exactly how frustrated I am with all these unasked-for calls. Really getting on my nerves now.

Just came across a comment on a different forum from someone who’s a director at that insurance company. They suggested ringing their toll-free number 0800 294 4522 to get taken off their contact list. I gave it a go and ended up talking to a really polite chap who said sorry and confirmed I’d been deleted from their database. Let’s wait and see if that holds true!

About 2:50 this afternoon, got a ring from this number. Picked up, but there was no sound at all and it just went silent after a few seconds. I'm on the TPS list, so why am I still getting bombarded with calls like this? It’s so annoying! Surely there’s a way to take legal action against these annoying calls? Feels like we're getting hit with dozens every single week!

This number rings me a few times every day, usually with nothing but random noise in the background. The most recent call was super early at 5.29am, and when I picked up, all I got was a callback tone. I’m registered with TPS too, so don’t get why they keep calling.
