Good grief! I would be tempted to change my number

We were away from home for a few years and cancelled our land line. When we
came back we got it back again with a different number. That was hellish.
It seems that the previous owner of the number had owed money to a LOT of
people and they were constantly on the phone wanting to speak to Mr X. In
the end we got the number changed and all that stopped.
