Should I reply to a BW legal voicemail message?

Contact your provider, explain and tell them to block you number.
If they wont, tell them you will transfer to a suppler who will

Ah, that is useful info, appreciated.

Or get a box or phone with Truecall technology (e.g. BT8600) ... you can quickly and easily block unwanted calls then.

Check out BT's Call Protect service. Costs nothing & you can add this number to your personal barred list.

I have a call blocker on my landline, BT6510 and other phones, or a simple plug in blocker.

My blocker cost £25 off ebay (local UK seller) and can hold 1000's of numbers and already has a load pre-programmed.

Yes set up BT Call Protect. Its free & works very well.
Set it all up online dead easy to do.
View & alter your settings online, see received calls, block them, block international numbers etc.

Check out Post four on the Newbies Sticky in the Parking Tickets Forum for all you need to know about BW Legal.

Has your vehicle or any other bills changed address in the last few months - or even couple of years? BW legal do occasionally crop-up on the debt board chasing a variety of old/bought-up debts but they are most commonly associated with private parking tickets and if you have one, any paperwork might have gone to an old addy.

Don't go replying to them by phone but do have a read of the advice in Parking Tix.

And it completely escapes me why you posted this in PVW, when the Debt board is the obvious choice..?

Since it's clearly not a personal debt of the OP and more to do with telephone "harassment", I'd say it's not really specific to either board and could just as easily have been posted on "Phones & TV"

Regardless, the Op's had plenty of useful answers here. No need to re-post elsewhere.

Our BT Truecall landline phone set has a call blocking facility, the same as on a mobile phone.

I think it depends on the phone and the provider. We have Panasonic digital landline phones (don't know which ones, but they're a few years old now) and are with BT - and we can definitely block individual incoming numbers.
