Watch talk talk

Hi all

Just been trying to reduce the phone bill etc. Talked to talk talk and signed up now the warning even with saying do not pass my details on I am being called by PPI reclaim and loan companies 2 hours after they had my details. I know it's them as I have not given my new mobile number out now going to cancel the order as I can not trust this company.

    It might be new to you, but it's likely not a new number.

    In all likelihood, someone else owned that mobile number before it was assigned to you.

    Thanks for your reply but I have had this mobile for 6 months and not had any PPI calls at all then 2 hours after I sign up for talk talk boom tons of them.

    So you're saying that within minutes of signing up, and before they even started processing your order, they sent your number to a third party callcentre and they started calling you the moment they received your details?
