Is the Green Deal dead?

I thought all the funding had been stopped last year.

If so, why are we still getting daily calls about it?

These are recorded messages saying "the national data base shows you have not yet had your green deal assessment......"

3 times I have clicked to be put through to a real person and requested politely that they stop calling us. This results in them hanging up.

Yesterday I asked the fellow how I can get my number removed from their list and he rudely demanded to know WHY they should do that, before slamming the phone down.

Is there anything we can do?

We do not have caller display so do not know the number to report to whoever. We are registered with TPS and have been for many years.

We also get unsolicited calls about window scrappage and boiler scrappage, but they do have a "press 8 to be removed from our list", not that it seems to work very well!

  • I've lost interest in keeping up with the constant changes. I thought GD was dead. ECO lives on until 2017. A replacement for both is expected in 2018. Either way, government is being extremely slow and extremely unambitious.

    Almost like the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change has, I dunno, something crazy like... some family members who lobby for the gas industry...

    Pressing 8 just tells the computer at the other end that someone has listened to the call. That means it is a good number to call again when selling something else.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
