hi i would appreciate any help please 
i have a business and just signed a lease in a shop who currently use utility warehouse and the lady came by and said someone would ring to sort the situation out and change the name to mine.
i had a phone call few days ago from them saying the lady had passed on my details and they had the right name told them to contact me and that im on the emergency tarrif and went through the contract and signed me up.
since then i have had about 2000 phone calls harrasing me saying the detaisl the guy gave me are wrong and i need to do it again to they can see im not set up and they ahve even started calling me from local landline numbers which are actually call centres in yorkshire.
how do i get them to stop this harrasing nature as surely this is not legal? also they are lying to me and now im not even sure the first guy was real so iv blocked my bank from allowing any new direct debuts.
they knew everything about me and my business which i only told the women so they have obviously shared my details so how do i stop this from hapening to anyone els?
iv rang my provider sky and they said there is nothing they can do apart from block the numbers but they keep ringign off different numbers including local ones. i rang the police 101 not emergency and they said its not illegal.
please help as im getting harrased with phone calls and im trying to run my business and cant with them blocking up my phone as they keep leaving messages also. im not sure if i been charged yet but i probably have!
