My wife was called on her mobile today from this number. The number is TPS registered. The caller (female, English accent, call centre noises in the background) claimed to be calling from Halifax regarding "your account". On being pressed, the caller said they were calling from "First Assist, The Money Centre, Drake Centre, Plymouth".

We reported the call to Halifax fraud. They told us "We have nothing in Plymouth, not even anything outsourced".

Just googled the number and got here. For a few days have been having this number calling countless times during the evening. Wised up ages ago and don't answer cold calls, especially as we are ex-directory and signed up to TPS as many other posters here have.  Don't have an account with Halifax either.  Why oh why doesn't the TPS seem to work with certain people.
Will try and get removed from their list next time they call! and find out where they got the number from.

Just did a Google search on this number, as it keeps ringing me :/

I have not long opened a Halifax Card & have emailed them asking to stop calling.
How annoying, especially when you have got your hands full/driving/shopping & they keep calling!!

This is a company called First Assist Service. The call centre seems to be based in Drake Circus in Plymouth. They have an office in Hinckley, the number for this is 01455 251 155. If you phone the 08450 number you'll get an answer phone which gives an 0845 number to call in order to be removed from their list. This is 0845 07 300 15. If anyone finds out the number of the Plymouth office, please post it so that we can bombard them with calls!

I have been calling them on their 01455 251155 number for the past 30 mins and hanging up everytime they answer - childish yes but so satisfying.  half an hour ago they answered the phone really happily - now they sound a wee bit annoyed, as am I after them calling me for the past 3 weeks and hanging up everytime I answer!

This number has been calling me on my mobile for about 3 days now.  Havn't bothered to answer it.  Called Halifax insurance this afternoon and they tell me they have no record of anyone trying to call me.  Took the advice off Mich (above dated 07/03/08) and marked it down as scam

I too have been bombarded by calls from this number. I rarely answer but when I have done there's nobody there. Last night however I answered and spoke to an extremely slimy sounding person who asked all sorts of personal questions about my situation (which of course I didn't answer). When I managed to explain I wasn't interested in buying any of their products she hung up as I was speaking. Nice.
I called Halifax this morning and they gave me this number- 0870 380 3324. It gets you through to First Assist, I called to verify but haven't spoken to anyone yet.

This company called me 5 times in 2 days even though I asked them to never call back the first time.  Not impressed since I work nightshift.

My mate said when they call next, be so abusive that they remove you from their database.  Figured I had nothing to lose and was a good way to vent my anger.  After about 2 minutes of constant cursing, they hung up.  Been 3 days and they've not called me yet.

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to write about this telephone number, and my thanks also to this website which I was only told about a few days ago. I've had this number ring my home several times over the past few weeks. I received 3 calls yesterday - no messages were left on the answering machine. Then I checked this website, and was suitably armed when the fourth call came.

I listened to the first 10 seconds of the caller's 'courtesy call', as she  stated, and then I explained that my telephone number is with the TPS. I asked not to called again. Whether that instuction is heeded or not remains to be seen. As for Halafax: it's a well-known Company, but it does not seem to understand that it could become even more widely known, but for the wrong reasons.

I work for first assist and they are a legit company. It annoys me so much when people will not give out these details because we have them on the screen. First assist are an insurance administrator who promote insurance policies on behalf of halifax, lv, barcleys, rac, aa and loads others. These companies give your records to us to call you and it is on a dialler so we dont personally call you that many times! If you just pick up then we will stop calling. There is no point in being rude because we all have a job to do and we dont try to piss you off by calling. Just say that you are not interested and we will go. We are not a scam!

well yesterday from 9am till 4:15pm I recieved 8 calls off this number....not sure what company it is but if it is halifax they can keep ringing for all I care. Im sure it makes there day seem alot more exciting....somehow?

Thing is it cant be that important because they never leave a message so its obvious that they want to sell something or whatever!

arseholes.

Helen - 10 Jul 2008
Been called every evening for the past week, ignored some but the ones I answered there was nobody there and it went through to the line dead tone.  We're also ex-dir and on TPS but they appear to have got our number from somewhere.

VERY annoying as I can't even speak to anyone to ask them to stop calling us!

This telephone number does give you an op out of being harassed phone number to ring.    08450262533  if you ring and leave your name and telephone number they say they will not contact you again.   We are disgusted with the amount of nuisance calls from this company.  They constantly ring waking our children out of their beds at up to 8.30pm.   They are a disgrace !!!! Who in their right mind would buy anything from these people.  May be its one for Watchdog !!!!!.  These silent phone calls are dreadful.  Think of the elderly or infirm on there own suffering this and not knowing if they are being harassed or not.   Its frightening for them.

lou - 6 Aug 2008
have just been called by this number and as many have already said they hung up as soon as i picked up! as someone who has been bombarded by nuisance calls on and off for the past few years- yes,i'm ex directory, and yes i'm tps, and yes i have made the official complaints to bt even though their sales people were the worst offenders!- i now find the only way to deal with it is to keep a whistle by the phone. if they don't listen to my polite refusal to their questions/hard sell-generally a good blow on the whistle is the last i hear of them!

Just had a call from this number 08450262533 and a young woman asked for my daughter by name. (She has not lived here for four years).  I explained she is not here and the woman said they must have old data. I asked if I could give a message and she said she was phoning for the Halifax.  
This call was at 8.50 at night so I was not happy.  My daughter has never had a Halifax account.
