Since I've moved I've had a phone line connected. I've had more calls for different people off debt firms. One just rung up and asked for a Mr Green so obviously I said wrong number. Bloke at other end of phone then said he might be able to reduce my debts. I don't think so. I'm already wound up because of coop insurance can't understand that I cancelled house policy when I moved in February. They keep sending letters to my old house saying they've tried to take payments and if I don't pay they will default me and I won't be able to get credit. Why can't people understand they rung wrong number or I've moved house. Sorry but just needed to let steam off.

Crazy isn't it, I would definitely be writing sternly or telling them sternly the facts as you don't need it.
Let off steam whenever you want we all need to now and then. x

One of my friends suffered from nuisance phone calls and bought herself a large whistle. They soon stopped!

Next time luluj - and only if you have time - play along with them to find out which IP firm they will refer you to. The use of this sort of sales technique is not acceptable, and I would love to know who is actually behind it all.

A few years ago I had a call from a random sales person who wanted to sell me double glazing -- I told him I already had it. What about a new door? says he. I disappointed him again by telling him I already had one. So he thought he'd go for a conservatory -- would I like one of those ?
Yes, says I, I have always wanted a conservatory. Anyway we spent a while discussing styles and possibilities. Eventually he asked when it would be convenient for the surveyor to pop around. Anytime would suit ... I guess it's not a problem that I live in a second floor flat ......
.... he hung up on me !!!

Excellent! I have a 7 year old boy - he answers all calls during the day at weekends or from 5- 6 week days if we are in. He answers " hello fat jacks pizza shack can I take your order remember pepperoni is on special" this is potentially very confusing for overseas call centres!
