Re the ppi and accident cold callers , I saw a program ( rip off Britain on BBC ) that had a bloke who got so pissed off with them that he got himself a premium rate (0845 etc ) number and got all the calls diverted there, it cost him about £20 to set up and so far made over 4 grand from it :eek . He even kept them talking as long as possible :lol there are rules about 0845 numbers re informing callers of the cost and I don't fully know how he did it but got to admit top idea , foccing annoyed I went to the TPS and don't get any nuisance calls now

I Didn't know that , I used to get the accident nuisance calls from Bombay and, strung em along for a bit til they asked what my injury was and I used to say I died or my head was amputated then they used to hang up but not long after I went on tps all the calls stopped.
