Sanderson's Blinds. Again.

CheCazzo

Thank you aurorablues - that's what I'll tell them when they ring again because sadly I feel sure that they will.

I have blocked their number on my mobile after 17 missed calls in a week, they also rang me on a sunday. They have my home phone number, I have no idea how they have it as i NEVER use it as I live with my mum. They rang 11 times in one day, ringing off as soon as we answered. Even up to 8pm at night.
I agree, multiple calls… they need to go on spam.

WOW! That is even worse than a lot of debt collectors which is saying something.

To anyone that is affected by this company, I personally would do what gholmes724 has done and write them a good letter outlining that what they are doing is wrong, clearly state you want to be taken off thier lists, with a theat of reporting them if it continues.

I've made my displeasure known on Twitter but I'm not very good at that site and I can't see my 'tweets' - perhaps I did it wrong? I don't know. But if they think it's ok to hassle me then they can have some back .
Nelie - they come up on my phone as No Caller ID and I have to answer those in case it's the hospital else I'd ignore them. What number do they use for you?

It's an 02… number. Their standard one. I don't get unknown numbers calling me, but I assume they gave up after they realised they can no longer ring me on their normal one.

I know, it was really bad, but thankfully, now I asked to be taken off, they haven't rung back. I don't think they really care- I did mention the amount of calls I got was out of order, but the lady on the phone was like "okay"

She was the best person I dealt with though. Eventually, she agreed to take my home number off the list…

11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

Thanks for that VelvetGlove - I feel much happier now knowing that at least there's a chance people might read that before entering one of their comps again.

BlueBella

Sanderson's Blinds rang me just now! Grrrrrr - said not interested and I'm watching Emmerdale....then click...hung up! Their number comes up as UNKNOWN on my mobile so I cannot block them!

CheCazzo

Twitter is your friend BlueBella - they couldn't act fast enough when I tweeted how pee'd off I was at the constant harrassment and snitty salesgirls! DM'd me twice to apologise and assure me I'd been taken off their lists - why not give it a try!
