    OK, so they have now started leaving long, empty messages on my answerphone when I don't pick up the telephone... my anwerphone mailbox is almost full, but none of the messages have anything in them. Time to get a new telephone number I think!

    Why are you not following the advice on here? Make an appointment, when they turn up, simply do not answer - wave to them through the window :rotfl:

    As for silent calls - have a read of this and report them to OFCOM

    Whenever any sales calls come through or cold callers knock I tell them I rent, privately.
    Sometimes they give me a leaflet to pass 'to your landlord'.
    But it gets them off the phone/step fairly quickly.

    It is, of course, a lie!

    Now that is one blacklist I think we would *all* like to be on!

    Well... [post=51956325]Post eleven[/post] tells you exactly how to get on such a "blacklist" and, hopefully, avoid any further calls. :)

It is not part of my role to deal with reportable posts. Any views are mine and are not the official line of MoneySavingExpert.
