Country Joe 1,411 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 why doesn't someone put up the phone numbers of Company Directors, of the worst culprits, and then we can all phone them, at different times of the day, and see how they like it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabid 1,936 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Jesus Moxy, I would be wanting to bust the cnuts door down shortly followed by his face, that is bang out of order. Sometimes I feel these folk are just trying to do a job and earn money, better than scrounging benefits every week, even though I agree it can be annoying, with the TPS it needs updating, I do mine once a year, they clear all data and the new start date means anyone who has got the number cannot call it after that date, unless you fill out anything online afterwards and put your number, I rarely get calls doing it this way Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Truther 1,579 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 We are ex directory and still get plenty of nuisance calls, i start with "how did you get this number, its ex directory" and they hang up straight away, but you still got bothered for nothing The junk mail you can do something about, if its got a business reply envelope in it, i just send them back empty, if everybody did it it would cost them money for no return, keep binning them and they just keep sending more hoping you'll buy, just a thought?

Kay 3,709 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I am ex directory but still get them , have just added a call blocker on my talk talk .. its a bit of a faf though you basically block the last number that called you .. it costs nothing to activate the service .. so time will tell as i only sorted it out last week If i don't have the phone number stored in my handset then it gets blocked if they call several times after a quick google search of the number .. in reality folks shouldn't have to do this kind of thing .. but the amount of calls i get some days drives me round the bend Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RubyTex 1,957 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 My grandparents get loads of these calls trying to sell them allsorts, paving, washing machine insurance, etc etc. Load of bollocks.
