TalkTalk Phonebook Mistake

Sorry if this has been posted before.

I just had a phonecall from my mum who has just watched the late night repeat of watchdog on bbc1, and on there they were saying about peoples names who have turned up in the phonebook that originally wanted to be ex directory.

I searched for my name on the online phonebook only to be faced with my name, address and phone number, when I asked to be ex directory when I signed up to Talktalk in 2006.

If you are with talk talk it is worth a look if you asked to be ex directory. http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publisha.content/en/search/residential/search.publisha

Here is the link to the watchdog site http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_and_radio/watchdog/reports/services/services_20080428.shtml

I'm not very good at complaining but I really want to but I don't really know what to say if I call them as I asked to be ex directory in the first place to get away from someone (ex partner), but now for all I know they have known where I am for 19 months.:eek:
