    Hi good evening to all you lovely peeps on here. I must say mouseann when i first read your first post you came over as a very frightened and vunerable lady. Wow girl listen to you now, all fired up and ready to take on all comers! this really helps me too as i have a lot on my plate without creditors piling on the agony. Well I only work two days a week and lowell finance have been stepping up their intimidaton campain. they ring me twice or thrice at home and when I went into work today my boss said they have rang me twice announcing they are a finance company and need to speak to me urgently on a financial matter! she asked if everything was alright in a patronising matter and i tried to act ok. I'm flaming blazing so I am going to send the harrasment by telephone template off first thing tomorrow by reg and recorded. SLUGS they are SLUGS.

    Hi all,

    Glad to hear about the garden, Savingwannabe. Hope the Lucozade helps with the blood sugar.

    Jinny, I am not brave all the time! I still have great waves of panic but at least I know I am doing something about it, plus I could not have got where I am without all the support of the great people on here - not to mention the incredible NID!

    Re the phone calls - do you know what number they are using? You can go on to the "choose to refuse" with BT - it allows you to have up to 10 numbers. (It does cost about £2.50 extra per month, but I consider it worth it!) Plus, if they withhold their number, you can get these calls refused, as well - don't think that costs anything at all! But, it isn't going to help with the phone calls at work - although doesn't that infringe some sort of code of conduct? Have suddenly realised how knowledgeable I have become on some of these issues!

    Oh my gosh. You both sound so clever. I am really impressed at how much you are all coping with and doing.

    Well done.

    Jinny start your own thread and give me a shout, if you want this sorted with a personal touch, sorry have missed you in the past - it's up to you, if you need a hand let me know and i'll sort this for you :D:D

    If you can get a signed statement from your boss i'll get you some compo for their blatant breach of DPA.....

    Yes mouseann it doesnt sound too ethical does it, now Im the talk of the washouse at work! I will look into the BT thing as I've used something like that before with a nuisance caller. The letter should sort that out and Im almost hoping they will try it again so i can getem into trouble.
