Pressure Selling from Lloyds

Hi,
i just wondered if anyone else has had telephone pressure selling from Lloyds? Just had a phone call from a guy at my local branch (who knew all about my account so I'm not assuming he was suspicious) but trying to get me to take out a loan over a sub 1K credit card bill and my overdraft on my graduate account.

He was on the phone 15 minutes repeatedly hammering home the loan angle. Has anyone else had this kind of call?

Simon

    Simple Simon ! if you don't want to receive marketing calls from Lloyds then select the option not to on your online banking.

    Hardly sounds like pressure selling. Just keep repeating the word No.

    My phone has a special button for situations like this - it's called "Hang up".

    Does the OP's phone not do this? ;)
