Hi Guys

MAGIC FINANCE GROUP LIMITED
COTTAGE STREET MILL
COTTAGE STREET
MACCLESFIELD
CHESHIRE
UNITED KINGDOM
SK11 8DZ
Company No. 06898873
if you google that number you will see that there are loads of others to, i have had nothing to do with this company at all  and when they phone i have asked to be removed from thier phone list to no avail its a couple of calls today so far but been going on for a week or so now, is there anyway to barr this number? tried tps but nothing they can do.

Re: Nuisance Calls

Next time they phone, confirm their name and address, and tell them that you will be reporting them to the Information Commissioner.
Here's the link

Re: Nuisance Calls

ok guys
              still receiving calls but now from other finance people this is now getting to me and upsetting the wife, all callers are asking for (stephanie) my number must be doing the rounds i think so any idea`s as im shortly going to close my account and have my phoneline stopped and use my three wifi dongle instead that will stop them,

Re: Nuisance Calls

Hi binzy,
We can enable a service called Choose to Refuse on your line.  This service will allow you to block numbers that call outright.  We offer the service free for the first 3 months after which it becomes chargeable at £6 per quarter.  There is no obligation to continue with the service after the first 3 months.
If you would like to go ahead simply raise a support ticket and we will enable this feature for you.

Re: Nuisance Calls

I have double checked your line and can confirm that the line is currently ex-directory.  As previously mentioned it sounds like Choose to Refuse will really help with this problem.

Re: Nuisance Calls

Magic Finance rings a bell - Definitely report them to the Information Commissioner. Include all the details about various company names and so on.

Re: Nuisance Calls

But according to Alex, you're still ex-directory.  It's much more likely that the number has done the rounds, because someone dialing random numbers got hold of you, and sold on your number as a confirmed hit.  Perhaps PN could allocate another number if that's the answer.

Re: Nuisance Calls

Binzy,
You *are* ex-directory with us.
Sounds like someone found your number by random dialling.  Same would have happened if you were with BT.
