I left Scottish Power about 2 months ago and since then I have been getting clals from them, asking me to come back and why I left and its always when I get home from work about 6.30-7pm :mad:

I started from calls from there customer service department who were rude and arrogant, I asked them to remove my name from the system and not to call me again but it has carried on, they have caklled me about 12 times since and then lastnight i got a call from a company called progress who work on behalf of SP as they told me and i had to let rip.

Is there any way of stopping these calls, we are really considering contact our solicitor about this

    The minute you realise who is calling just hang up.

    One of the many automated electronic call screening devices is likely to be cheaper, (and of more use) than a solicitor.

  • I left British gas more than 3 years ago and still get calls from them.

    I have just left Scottish Power so looks as if I can expect even more calls.

    My tactic is not to answer any call from 0845 0800 or 0870 numbers, then I google the number to see who it was calling, if it was important to me they will ring back later and I then answer it.

    Should work, since you no longer have a contractual relationship with SP.

    Hello - Apologies that you are still receiving calls from us. If you want to call 0800 072 4150, you can have your number removed from our marketing database.

    Thank you.
