'Important' calls from Barclaycard asking for someone who doesn't live at our address
Hi, This is my first time posting, so I'm sure sure if I'm in the right place, but I'm wondering if anyone has some advice. In the past week or so, we have been getting a lot of calls for Barclaycard. When we answer, it's a recorded message saying that it's an important call for someone called Laura Halsall. No one of that…

And indeed it was a litre bottle, I did complain that…

TalkTalk - rude and pestering
I just had a cold call from TalkTalk, and wow their selling guys are just really unpleasant. I'm registered for the TPS so in the first place they shouldn't have been calling me, and even after I told the guy I wasn't interested he wouldn't let it go!
