hello kinky :luv: :wavey:

IMO its totally wrong and disgusting the way compaines get away with such decit and lies to people but i think its rather down to the individuals who are canvassing door to door the pressure is on them to sign up people to earn commision they should be blamed largely but im not letting the compaines off they are the ones that train these liars :2up:

Am just remembering you in the prison thread.... intruders in your house.... reasonable force.. :naughty:
Only thing is.. this time.. i would have been helping you to aim..... the bazooka :p

In this scottish case, it looks like a warrant was in place.... but the absurd thing is.. the meter that was removed wasn't even a Scottish Gas/Electricity one :shrug:
I thought the police had to be present for a warrant to be put into effect.... but i must be wrong :)

:D

If I were the abused party in the Scottish Power case, I would be pushing for a lot more than the 250 quid that was offered.

They broke into the people's home!!! (with a warrant), and they offer 250?????

From the age of the avatar I would have suggested GEORGE Burns lol

Ah yes, Ferragosta is it not?

At the moment I'm in the process of transferring all my services over to Powergen. They have a good reputation for customer services and are capable of telling the truth and know a thing or two about decent customer services. I spoken to quite a few of them so I know from experience.

I shall make sure the gas and electricity does not turn into another NTL situation. Enuff said.

Well, as long as NTL didn't break into your home to fix your STB when you clearly didn't want them to.... it still puts them in a higher league than British or Scottish gas ;)
Hopefully, Powergen will live up to your expectations.... and their post-sell service will be as good as their apparent pre-sell one :erm:

Yes :D But, the whole month is a bit of a holiday nationwide.... More significantly, it was Santa Assunta.... my mother's name... but not the Saint bit obviously ;)

I usually deal with door to door salesman by saying that I am not interested. If they ask why, I say it's none of their business. I someimes also add that if I am interested in a product, I will contact the supplier.

If all that fails, f*** off usually works.

Myself prefer this one.

Picture the scene as I am at my sister in laws house with the whole front of the house visibly fitted with upvc windows and door including barge boards and guttering when a knock at the door arrives from a stay brite windows rep.

Her husband answers the door to the usual patter "good evening sir i am from stay brite windows can i interest you in our products blah blah"

Now after he politely shows the guy the whole front of the house is already done and shows him the rear of the house as well which again is all done in upvc windows plus doors the stay brite rep still persists with his sales patter about conservatorys etc.

At this point he invites the sales rep in and asks him to take a seat in the living room and 2 minutes later my sister in law arrives with a tape measure and aks the rep to stand up which he does and she starts measuring him up.

At this point he looks a little bemused and asks myself and her husband what is going on so he gets the reply nothing to worry about she is just measuring you up for a new suit as she is a tailor to which the rep replies but I dont need a new suit and they reply we dont want new windows or doors or conservatorys either now f off.

The rep shall we say seen the funny side and like an idiot quickly scarpered.

Funnily enough since then they have never had stay brite reps attend the house.

:D

Didn't a load of Virgin Power sales reps sign people over by targetting kids in the street and offering them free CD's if they signed the transfer papers? (without telling them what they were)

Morning everybody, :wavey:

We've had this alot from door to door, and from approaches in the street.

We tried it once ...... bad mistake.

We tried to change to Virgin Electric !!!! vvv cheap and in the end vvvv WRONG.

They are all scheming little bar stewards. The change never actually too place as they were sooooooooooooo incompetant.

Now anyone who phones, knocks or stops us in the street gets told "We rent, it's not ours, cant help you" hehehehe :D

Got this from a friend, who rents, works a treat now. :D

Jehovas though ..... just don't get me started. Bloody Salespeople :mad: :2up:
