08453550041

I have just rang 0870 850 1281 this minute and spoke to a very apologetic gentleman stating that he has taken my number from their database.  Should I receive any further calls from the number I will be contacting my local police force.

I've just started receiving these calls today (about one an hour). Do you think the best solution is to call Halifax, TPS or the number that's calling me?

I've just been told by customer care that it is the Halifax switchboard number. I would recommend calling halifax customer services and asking to be put through to that department if you still have concerns (it was closed when i rang them). You can call 08457 25 35 19 and quote '0845 355 0041'.

Hope this helps.

Same story - call Halifax credit card arrears dept 0870 850 1291, they claim to be the people doing this and have just claimed to have removed my number from the system (which takes 24hrs they say).  Reported this to Offcom, its disgusting that they can do this at random and Halifax should be ashamed of themselves.

i have just called the halifax bank and they first insisted that the call was NOT automated, then decided that unless i could decipher and spell the full name of the idiot they were trying to contact that there was little they could do to stop it.

After receiving loads of these calls, I called the other number listed above (0870 850 1281) and got through straight away.

I was asked for my credit card number, and explained that I don't bank with Halifax, but keep getting called by their automated system, asking for someone who I've never heard of.

After confirming the number and the name that was asked for, the operative did something on his computer and told me that he had deleted the number, and that I should stop getting called. He did explain that I may continue to get calls for another 24 hours as their systems take a day to update, but after that it should stop.

The reason suggested that I was getting the calls was that the number had been registered previously by one of their customers, who had probably not updated their details with Halifax.

If you do receive calls from this number you need to either answer the call if your account is in arrears or contact Card Services number from your statement or the back of your card.

The main issue is when people give hoax numbers or don't update when they either change the number or move. If you do have a credit card I would always suggest a minimum payment DD to ensure you never have this problem with missing payments, remember you can still pay more on top of it?

If you do have financial problems talk to your bank, the CAB or the CCCS. The worst thing to do is ignore it?

Had 3 calls today from the same number asking me to call the Halifax as it was very important. I phoned back the number and was suspicious when it asked me to enter my phone number in order for them to access my account deatils. I actually work for the Halifax and this is very suspect!!!
I wouldn't put any personal details in...I have called Halifax Customer Service and they do not recognise the number and said it sounds dodgy!

i've had like ten calls from this number its an automated machine telling me that they are from halifax. i continued to listen to the machine and it asked for a date of birth. i never entered one so it put me through to to someone. i asked him where he got my number from and he said he got it from another household. so i told not to phone here again and start swearing at him because he said no and said he will keep phoning until i dont swear then cut me off.
