We signed up for the national do-not-call list early. Now we're receiving quite a few calls from solicitors, almost all of them refinancing companies. The Lending Company (if that's its real name) is one of the worst offenders. They call, sometimes several times a day, to let us know that we're "won" a free analysis of remortgaging our house.
I've started getting out-and-out rude out of sheer desperation. One woman was really awful; I told her that we weren't interested in refinancing and were on the national do-not-call list.
They still keep calling, although I don't know if it's the same people. We've "won" prizes. Our application has been approved (but we didn't MAKE any application, of course). This is not a business call, we're just doing a survey - what interest rate are you paying on your mortgage?. Etc. etc. etc.

Woman: "What interest rate are you paying?"
Me: "I am NOT going to discuss that over the phone, and certainly not with you!"
Woman: "Just tell me, is it under seven percent?"
Me: "That's none of your business. Put us on your Do Not Call list now."
Woman: "But you-"
Me: "CLICK!"
