I thought that too, so I went about submitting a complaint to TPS and got this reply:



So it seems they don't want to help me. It also goes on to say:



But as I stated previously the market research company said I can't opt-out.

Blow a loud whistle down the phone, or tell them to hang on a minute and then leave them hanging of for ages, might soon get the idea you don't want to be messed with.

In that case, I suggest you turn the tables on them and keep on ringing that number several times a day, asking for their opinions on every subject you can think of, until they agree to take you off their list.

- is ronaldo better than maradona was
- should breaking the speed limit be OK if noone else is about

i have been receiving many calls from NEXT

they keep asking for a 'Miss L Smith' which is not me

my home phone number is registered with TPS and im ex-directory.

i have received about 5 of these calls in the past 2 weeks, every time i call i tell them they have the wrong number and to stop calling me. they say they will take my number off the list and never do

I AM GETTING EXTREMELY ANGRY NOW :mad:

i sent a complaint to TPS who wouldnt help, got the same jargon in the few posts before this

what can i do?

Just had a call from this number 00141 774 8023

It was an automated voice on the other end offering a way to get out of debt! Put phone down and he was still there when I picked up again.

Checked the number in www.ukphoneinfo.com and got a message saying they don't recognise international numbers.

Thought I'd post just incase someone else gets them.

I got that call too. The message talks of a "Government Initiative" to try and give the phone spam some authority.

.I am tps registered and ex directory.Received a call today, company calling itself "Sat Support".Minute i heard "Sat"-I knew what was coming as i have read similar satelite tv calls on here.He mentioned Sky.I said I hadn't got sky. I rang the company to discuss why this had happened. During the course of the conversation,I was advised to write to their head office,and the lady mentioned they have to check tps lists every 28 days,yet I can find no trace of them registered on tps,.she said I would have to write to their Head Office to be removed.Anyone else had a call from them.Should I report them to tps or is it pointless?
address was Imperium House,Ford Lane,Arundel,West Sussex.BN18 ODF.(Royal mail Postcode finder gives a company called Satellite Direct uk ltd at this postcode)
Edit-Also ,now searched the board for Satellite uk ltd,found some more posts.
