    RE Scottish power. They had better tell the man who called at my door a couple of nights ago because he was adamant that they were not stopping doorstepping. He was going to remove our name from their list but wanted me to sign his machine. I don't know if he actually did it because i told him I was not signing anything.

    He was perhaps trying to collect a signature to authorise a transfer and it might not even have been to Scottish Power.

    There will still be sellers for smaller companies and scammers who could want your signature for almost anything.

    I've had no cold callers here since putting up the MSE sign.

    Not even the bible people.
  • EDF knocked my door a week or so ago so they or someone else is still doorstep selling! I have written to EDF to complain as I have a no doorstep sales poster on the door.
