"Consumer Lifestyles" cold calling

We keep on getting calls from "Consumer Lifestyles"
At any time between 7 am and 9 pm
They don't seem to get the message that we are not interested
I screamed down the phone "GO AWAY YOU ANNOYING TICK ON THE FACE OF HUMANITY" - 5 minutes a go
Have any of you successfully stopped this annoying company calling ?
How ?

When I get cold callers I usually say, "just hold whilst I turn the cooker off"...then I put the phone down and go and have a cuppa....they always have rung off before I pick it back up and return it to the cradle...and funnily enough they never seem to fancy wasting their time ringing me back!
I do know someone who keeps a referees whistle by the phone and cold callers get a mega-decibel ear blast that also seems to deter them calling back.:D

Go to the TPS website and report them.
Or simple tell them to F**k Off each time they post.0 -
I don't understand why you get stressed about it, just stay calm and put the phone down and smile smugly or just say 'hold on' put the phone to one side and forget about it for half an hour, simple as that.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
Tell them that you don't give out personal information and you won't give consent for them to share anything about you. Ask them to not bother calling back. Worked for me.Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....
