It sounds like one of the debt collection agencies and they are quite often trying to trace a neighbour who has debt. I have caller display and generally don't answer withheld or 08000/0845 numbers, if it's really that important they can leave a message. Occasionally I'll look up the number on whocallsme.com to find out what I'm not missing (3 debt collectors for other people and Sky most often).

BT are next to useless if you've got a persistent crank caller (could even tell them who it was) they won't act and only offer the one month of call barring stating that cranks will get bored (this one doesn't and has fits of calling repeatedly still 2 years later (I turn the ringer off so she can ring all night for all I care).
