Moneyexpert and unsolicited calls - w'happen Martin??

Options
Hi all,

I love this site - spot on what Martin says about people power, and great to see somebody empowering the people to stand up against the greedy and corrupt.

However, I did a search for a loan today - sort of on a whim (after years of poverty, struggling and dealing with scum I am now very lucky to be relatively worry, and debt free), and...well here is the e-mail of complaint I sent (My 'x's):

Dear Sir,

After doing a quick search on your site, I was shocked and dismayed to find that someone from an unsolicited company had called me a few hours later.

I have no 'debts' and do not need a consolidation loan: I clicked that
rather than 'other' because I was looking for a loan to assist towards
XXXXXXXXX, but also looking to pay off a small debt of my fiances - I
do not need the services of a company that has the demeanour of an
outfit that gets most of it's custom from bothering the desperate poor
on daytime television! I would rather wait and save.

I was also perturbed to find that, when my daughter realised I was outand told the caller so, he practically accused her of being a liar! I
guessed straight away what had happened and when I went to e-mail you: I saw that I had an e-mail from xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx.

I am 'ex-directory', and this incident has caused my family and myself stress.

Please remove me from your records, and inform any companies to whom you have sold my details to do the same.

I am a busy professional who values his 'quiet time'; hence my number being ex-directory. I have not had a sales call in over three years: I trust that I will receive no more calls of this nature. I have kept a record of this correspondence.

Regards,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


I thought this kind of thing was what Martin was against, and I am sure that he would disapprove?

This comes on theback of me being pursued erroneously for a debt for someone with my name, so I am full of righteous indignation!

Keep on keeping on :money:,

Bandini.
