cresta Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 If you're in the mood, try and have some fun winding them up and making them hang up on you, instead of the other way around. Ask them to hold the line, then go and make a cup of tea or feed the cat, whatever. After 20 minutes or so they usually give up Even better, try something like this... poor mike...

garrence Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I got one of those TrueCall devices that were on Dragons Den and haven't had an unwanted call to the landline since. If only someone would make a mobile app to do the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICKY BLAKE Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 just ask for the name of there firm ask to speak to the chief general manager and mention you are no longer interested sometimes it is bored call centre staff who steal phone numbers and pester the only good thing about the recession is that some of these idiots loose their jobs & the firms go broke try not too loose your temper (they know they are annoying buy a referees whistle and blow down the phone they soo give up but the trick is not to loose your temper as they want to irritate you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 tps is toothless. of the two companies I have reported to them, the first BT denied any knowledge of the call, so tps took their answer and binned the complaint. the second company had the wrong address at companies house, so they couldn't track them down. seems to be an easy way for companies to ignore tps to me. either claim you never called the person or set up a company with deliberately inaccurate information.
