Charged for unknown landline calls - don't have a landline phone, my landline doesn't even work!

Surely the numbers shown on your itemised bill is identifiable? I have never seen a non genuine number on any bill I manage.

What version home hub do you have?

[sisuv]

Sorry for misleading you. They're real numbers which I don't know. Some of them were services numbers that are not on Google... But anyway the fact is that it isn't me who made those calls.

[FTT]

So you don't recognise any of the numbers? 'service numbers'?

If nobody dialed the numbers in your home then no reason they can't be posted here.

It would be helpful to know what happens when you call your number from another phone.  I'm surprised you have not done it.

[sisuv]

Thanks. Maybe I've been worrying about this too much as a newcomer here in the UK. Anyway, the moderater helped me with outbound call barring service, so I expect this solved very soon. Many thanks everyone!

Outbound call barring won't help if you have a crossed line. You need to identify if your line is your number by calling it. No idea why you seem so reluctant to perform such a basic test.

[Devon_Dave]

I agree with @licquorice , by performing the most basic check of ringing your own number could solve this problem once and for all a while back. Good luck with sorting it, I'm out of here.

If there is OCB on the number that is making the calls, then that will stop the calls. 

[licquorice]

It will stop the calls but it won't solve the problem, it will just mask it and prevent another customer making what they regard as legitimate calls etc etc.

@sisuv presumably you or someone you know has a mobile and could ring your number and tell you what happens: someone might answer or, more likely, you might get a message that this number is not in use. Information is the only way in which problems can be analysed and solved - without it, this is a pointless quest.
