Got a call earlier from 08452466401 claiming they were from Churchill. They started asking for personal and house details, but I didn’t give them any info and just hung up. Then I rang Churchill myself, and they said nobody from their company calls asking for that kind of stuff. Watch out - this number’s likely some scammer trying to get your details to sell or cheat you!

Got a call from this number today but ignored it, I don't pick up unknown numbers unless they’re saved. Looked it up and found this site. Funny enough, I just got my renewal notice from Direct Line Insurance last week, so it matches what others are saying here. I’d rather ring them myself than get a call and risk giving out my banking details. When or if I do renew, I’ll definitely tell them not to call me again.

On a Wednesday night, 10th August 2016 around 7:30pm, my wife's phone rang even though the car insurance is on auto-renew and paid by me. The caller didn’t say how they got her number. She then asked me to verify my home address. Since I hadn’t made the call, I felt it was up to her to prove who she was before I gave any details, but she refused to give any confirming info until I said what she wanted. So I just ended the call.

Blimey, missed a call from Direct Line! Maybe they’re finally going to address my structural claim that’s been dragging on for 12 years now without a proper fix. They fixed my house twice already, but both times the repairs didn’t last even a day. Hopefully, they’ve got a new engineer who doesn’t rush things this time! Seriously, be cautious about insuring with Direct Line - their adverts look great but their customer service is shockingly bad, and the repairs are even worse. Have a look at their Facebook page and read the complaints before you throw your cash at them.

Got a call saying it was from direct line, they told me the first bit of my address and asked for my house number. Then they gave me the first bit of my postcode and wanted the rest. I asked what it was about and they said something to do with my car insurance, I told them I’d already cancelled it. Then they just hung up.

Why is it necessary for individuals on platforms like these to express a range of false information when the contact number is AUTHENTIC? As mentioned by others, it is indeed Direct Line. They are inquiring about my upcoming policy expiration and whether I intend to renew it.

Got a call earlier today, said they were from Churchill asking about my policy renewal. Thing is, I'd already switched to Admiral. They wanted my postcode, what cover I had on my car, and how many people were on the policy. I told them to give me the policy number first before I said anything else, then they just hung up.

Regarding the two comments down there, I just got a call from a manager at UK Insurance (Direct Line and Churchill) who actually apologised. She agreed the calls do come across like phishing attempts. I’ve recommended they switch up how they do the calls. They’re annoying, sure, but apparently not dangerous.

12/7/2016. I reckon I’ve figured it out. These calls seem to come from Direct Line, which is part of Insurance UK. The number 0845 246 6401 is for outgoing calls only and can’t receive any. When I switched it to the Direct Line style 0345 246 6401,, it redirected me to 0345 246 6450. The person on the other end knew exactly what was going on. Give them a shout - they’ll explain everything. I suggested they give their call centre staff better training so they know about this issue. I’ve marked it as safe, meaning it’s not harmful, but it definitely isn’t ideal.

Some woman called claiming to be from Direct Line, wanting to talk about my policy renewal that’s supposedly coming up. I told her I wasn’t interested and she just hung up. Afterwards I phoned Direct Line myself but the person I spoke to seemed unsure if the call had really come from them. If it wasn’t official, that’s even dodgier. How else would she know my home number and that my policy needed renewing? Feels like it was actually Direct Line but they don’t want to admit it. Whatever the truth, it’s enough to make me consider switching insurers.

My renewal for Direct Line insurance is coming up, and it looks like it won't renew automatically. I didn't pick up this call, but I reckon it was them. Since Churchill is under the Direct Line umbrella as well. I think comparison sites often sell your renewal info to other companies, so I’d take it as a nudge to ring my insurer directly.

Got a call from this number and a woman said she was from Direct Line about my car insurance renewal. She began asking for my address and other personal details, which made me feel a bit iffy, so I ended the call. I then messaged Direct Line on Facebook and they replied saying that this number isn’t connected to them. Would be careful with this one. Like others mentioned, she wouldn’t explain why she was calling until I confirmed some info, which I wasn’t happy to do. She also said I could ring back anytime.

I never pick up calls from 08 numbers, so I didn’t bother. Looking at some recent comments, I noticed Churchill mentioned quite a bit. My car insurance is due soon and I’ve decided to switch providers. Seems like they’re trying to find out the reason why.

08452466401 is actually a real Direct Line number. I didn't share any details with the person who called me but I phoned Direct Line myself and it’s their renewals team, they ring if you haven’t responded to a renewal notice. Even so, I’d be careful and suggest you contact Direct Line through their official number just to be safe :)

I often receive repeated calls where no one responds when I answer. It can be quite frustrating. However, there was one instance when someone finally spoke, only to ask if I had been involved in an accident. It bothers me that despite being part of the telephone preference system to avoid unwanted calls, these pests still find a way to bother me. Thankfully, I have blocked their number now and reported it to Ofcom. I hope these measures will help in stopping them.

Said they were from Nationwide Insurance. Since I've already told Nationwide to stop calling me, the person on the phone got a pretty long and angry telling off from me. It looks like callers from this number pretend to be from all kinds of insurance firms, so I’d say be wary of any call coming from this number - it’s probably a scam and best avoided.

They identified themselves as Churchill insurance, the company I am currently insured with. They called to discuss my renewal, for which I already had the necessary documents. They indicated that they wanted to save me the expense of a phone call by handling the process over this call. However, they asked me too many personal questions, such as my postcode, house number, car make, and registration number. In response, I requested them to call me back in two hours. In the meantime, I took matters into my own hands and phoned the 0800 number provided on my renewal form to successfully renew my insurance.
