The fact that the case was closed down and settled by the other drivers insurers has not lessened the number of calls we get.

A bit long winded but you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results if you like to annoy companies like theirs as much as I do.
Get a recording of yourself saying ".....ok, go ahead...........yeah........yep........ok......... .sounds good.........ok I'm sorry I think I've misunderstood, can you please explain it again to me........right......ok......yeah.......yes....... sorry, what was the name of the company again?............ok.......right........." etc etc on a loop.
Get it on tape or CD so you can play it back on a device with a decent-sized speaker and keep it near your phone.
When you get a call from one of those (or any) companies, say "Hang on while I pick up my other phone" which will buy you time and cover you for any noises the playback device makes such as clicks etc when you switch it on.
Put the phone near the speaker and carry on with your day blissfully in the knowledge that whoever they are will be chatting away to your recording .
I found my mother's old journalist tape recorder a few months ago and I put it to good use in that very way. Works a treat and you're doing your bit for society
