Nuisance Calls.
Ive been getting calls for the last 2 days from this number 02037646849 its a London number. Ive never answered the calls. Im already registered with the TPS i thought the idea was that you wouldnt get any nuisance calls no more. Six calls in the past 2 days. Any other path i can go down by the way the calls are to my mobile number.

Isn't it common for call centres to trick the system into displaying a number that isn't their real number? So [a] it may be a call from outside the UK and that could mean it's outside TPS's jurisdiction.
I've had nuisance calls which displayed very odd numbers (wrong number of digits) and one which displayed a number with the area code of a small town in Switzerland!
Personally, i've found it does work because a lot of these types of calls will use an auto-dialler to ring your number and if there's consistently no answer it'll just keep going.
As much as it's a pain, if you answer the phone and ask to be removed from marketing calls or just ask for no more calls, i do think they're obliged to do just that. Same goes with those calls where you answer and it's a recorded message - if it gives you the option to "press 9 to opt out of further calls" then do that.
Both of which merely prove that your number is 'live', and will be marked with a higher priority and sold on to others.
I don't dispute that at all, but I can only speak from personal experience in that it has all but eliminated the number of nuisance calls i get, and i used to get plenty.
