Re: Nuisance telephone calls.

I have been registered with TPS for a long time but recently have been 'moithered' by calls as a result of online searching for cheap car insurance. Not all 'search the market' sites give the option of 'no marketing follow up calls'.

alot of people assume that the tps cover and monitor and control the calls from the web which at the moment is very difficult to police.

your right.Because research showed a scottish accent was most likely to gain better results in things such as debt collection and sales most of the call centers went up north.

i dunno where they did that research because anyone wanting money from me gets hung up on regardless of how they speak

yes it was the scottish accent, followed by the brummy accent i think and then scouse(surprised at the scouse being third... but has ive said earlies to others, it is upto the inv- person on how they respond to calls at home, i just prefer to say no thank you as i personally feel that rudeness breeds rudeness and is part of all our attempts to bring values and manners back to modern society. :-)

prob- an english call center as alot of these are very rude and they will ring people back and play what they call games with consumers, these clowns dont realise that they are ringing a consumer in THEIR HOME!!
THE INDIANS,are polite but some are a little slow on the up take and ring off standard scripts and when you produce a question thats not on their agenda/or list they struggle hence why folk get the hump..

I have an answer machine and they never ever leave messages, but I know I have had a call because my phone logs 'missed calls'.
When you check who the calls were from it is always number unavailable.

I am never rude, I am polite and to the point( I can tell someone where to go in such sweet terms that they look forward to packing for the trip)........although I have to say that on a couple of occasions I have had a bit of fun at the callers expense....I figured that if they wanted to waste my time, then the least I could do would be to help them waste a bit of their life too.
Nuisance calls are just that.....a nuisance. I have done my best to stop them from having to incur my wrath(polite as it might be)......I wish to goodness that they would get the message.
It would save us all a lot of irritation.

When you ring 1471 and they reply we don't have the number to return the call its a number from outside the country, if its from this country it usually say the caller withheld their number

the reason most centers use unavailable numbers is this.. as their centers would be blocked with return callers.. plus you will love this(please dont do this at home)... consumers would ring them back and ABUSE AND WASTE THEIR TIME.... PLEASE DONT USE THIS IN EVIDENCE AGAINST ME.:-))))
