Just had a phone call, and unbelievably some chappie on the phone who in a foreign accent who called himself George.:rolleyes: Just tried to flog me an IVA, under new govt legislation. I mean what on earth would i want to do that for with one of these debt companies:mad: .

1. This site is far better and i would use a debt charity if i needed an IVA:D
2.There must be a lot of money to be made out of folk if they are cold calling:mad:
3. He hadn't heard of MSE:eek:
4. He hadn't heard of the red pen club..cheek:cool:
5. He hadn't head of quidco:rotfl:
6. He didn't like my song either:rolleyes: Well it is my phone and if i want to sing on it i will....:rotfl:

awimba way, awimba way:rotfl: Thanks for that one Zincoxide!:D

Anyone else had these phone calls...i am still amazed, that they would try it.

Yes i had a phone call a couple of weeks ago and i politely told him i wasnt interested and he just kept interupting saying it was government legislation and it was all new. So told him again more firmly that i was not interested and he took not one bit of notice so down went the phone and luckily haven't heard anymore from him.

Flippin muppetry!
Some guy has just been round trying to get people to switch to Scottish Power - I am not their biggest fan and have just escaped from them...anyhoo...I hobbled to the door and he was in the middle of knocking on next door as well (we have a shared drive). He says "Is your mum and dad in" to which I replied "nice try, what you trying to sell" to which he replies "you'll be glad of compliments like that in a few years" - CHEEKY SO-N-SO!
So, he moves his clipboard and I spot the Scottish Power label and asked him to verify if that's what he's trying to sell, he replied "if you can read, yes" to which I said "this is what I'm saying to you!" and slammed the door in his face.

mwahahahahahahahahaha

Yes i really did sing to him, MR.Bob looked really embarrassed and didn't reckon i had the b**ls to do it. I wouldn't have in the past, and only did so because of ideas off here.
I think the look on his face when i asked him questions would have been good too!
Madame what is this red pen club you are on about? Have you had an IVA provided by them?:rotfl: :rotfl:
Hey linda..a money making opportunity for you if ever there was one.:rotfl:
I love this site!!!
Congrats on winning the lottery Squiz, how are you going to keep it secret now? I reckon your inbox will be full now of begging e mails:rotfl: :rotfl:
