TalkTalk Tactics

BaldacchinoR

I once signed up with TalkTalk - never again. They could not connect me to the Internet after over 3 hours of phone calls so i cancelled the direct debit. They scrambled incoming calls and prevented me phoning out. I managed to get back to BT and I thought TalkTalk were out of it. But they have contacted me around 5 times since, trying to get me to sign up, just knocking on the door twice. They once claimed they were part of BT! so I reported that to BT. Their latest scam was to claim they were a different company offering free broadband, alter admitting they were TalkTalk, and despite me telling the pleasant young man we had Plusnet @ £5-99 and Primus at £9.15 a month with free evening and weekend calls, he offered us line rental of £12-25 plus £6-99 a month for free eve & w/end calls incl 0845 & 0870 nos., being £19-24 against £15.14, he still wanted us to sign up!!! That was last week. TalkTalk even phoned this evening and before he could get into his sales talktalk, I told him "Not interested in TalkTalk".

I found that the quickest way of getting rid of TalkTalk sales people is to tell them that you/OH work in IT and your bosses pay for your home broadband.

(it doesn't however, stop them calling)
