Does anybody have the same problems as we do.Today between 10.00am and 14.00 hrs we received 7 calls.I have given up picking up because most of them are part of this ringing lots of people system at the same time and quickly goes dead if you pick up.
I thought recent legislation had banned these pest firms but obviously not.
I got rid of my landline phone in 2000, but in order to receive WiFi I had to have the line re connected,but there's no phone attached to it, it's purely for my WiFi.
Nuisance calls can be a two way street, I have just spent the best part of yesterday afternoon and this morning trying to cancel my car insurance renewal with a well known company.
I followed the instructions and rang {yes you've guessed it} a premium rate number, my mobile is P.A.Y.G. and I checked I had sufficient time left {£7:89p to be precise} which I thought would be ample.
Unfortunately I was dealing with someone on the other end who, lets say didn't sound as if English was his first language, and so I found myself having to repeat quite a bit of it, then he said he would transfer me to someone else so I listened to elevator music for a few minutes, I had just about lost the will to live when someone finally came on the line, I began telling them the saga again and after about ten seconds I suddenly realised I was talking to myself..... my talk time had run out.
I finally found their E mail address so E mailed them about my intention of cancelling and all I got back is "You must talk to one of our Customer services team members on the very same premium line.
I politely {as I could} declined and told them the E mail I sent must suffice as I have no intention of ringing that number but I told them I'm not stopping you ringing me.....Answer came there none!!
