wobblywill Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I've had one tonight. As soon as they say who it is, if you don't want to speak to them, put the phone down. They will soon get the message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeowen Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 We signed up to the TPS which seems to stop most sales calls http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/tps/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 British gas ignore TPS, we get a call about once a month. I've become quite rude to them as I've asked half a dozen times to be taken off their list and they always promise to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 TPS have never exercised their powers to fine a company! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zongamin Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Cyclone is right - the TPS don't have ANY enforcement rights, they simply pass complaints to the Information Commisionner's Office, and no fines have EVER been issued as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoroughGal Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Tell them that if they continue to harass you, you'll go elsewhere for your gas supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp87 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 ask for the "callers" name and say you are going to report them and see how they react. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
