Nice one Powder Keg! Last time a seller called me i whispered until I was sure that he had set his head set on maximum volume, then I screamed as loud as I could, to never call me again. Haven't had any sellers call me in over a year :beer:

Ten years ago, almost to the day, the hospital failed to contact me directly in their efforts to offer me the long awaited slot for my heart bypass operation.

We had just about had it with "number withheld" and nuisance calls and had the telephone company block all such calls. They were able to contact my son's number so my daughter-in-law  got in touch with me.

I am understandably very grateful for the NHS (I'm still here 10 years on) but it is galling to find they withhold their number when making contact with patients. It is still the case.

So there is the real danger posed by these nuisance cold calls.

To the people of this forum;

I am a 17 year old former employee of the people calling you. The company you are receiving these phone calls is called Central Claims Group.

I'm a new user so I can't post links, apologies.

Here is how to find the website; google Central Claims Group, and it will be the top website.

I'm not here to defend this company, in fact I despise them for what they're encouraging, and just for general poor customer and employee care.

I will emphasise however, that this isn't a scam. They are just cold calling random people, using numbers from the phone book, and trying to persuade any poor soul unlucky enough to admitting to working in a noisy environment into going down to a hearing test and then going on to claim compensation from their former employers for Industrial Deafness.

They are breaking several laws/legislation, as technically if you tell the company you are not interested, they are not allowed to ring you for at least 28 days. Many people receive 28 phonecalls in 7 days. They are also not complying to any sort of Telephone Preference Service regulation. Lastly they are grossly mis-selling the services they offer. They often tell the recipient of the call that legislation regarding Industrial Deafness has "recently changed." Bulls**t.

Long story short, these people harass, push up insurance premiums, and are also a burden on what little industry and manufacturing remain in our country.

I urge anyone who is sick of these calls to take the following measures;

Make sure you deregister your number from the phonebook.
Sign up to the Telephone Preference Service
And complain by the procedure listed here:
ioc . gov. uk //complaints/privacy_and_electronic_communications. aspx
(Just remove the spaces)

Do feel free to return the harassment.
Kilburn.
