I started getting cold calls for the first time during start of july, about 3 weeks after I signed up to the TPS, previous to that I had no cold calls. So my guess is either the TPS provided the details or NTL did. Of course it could be anyone like my bank it is almost impossible to find out.

tis true. quite often what seem to be cold calls are legitimate - information is shared over large organisations, trading under different names - financial companies are a good example. many people don't recognise having any dealings with a company that is owned by the same people as their bank etc - i know as i worked in call centres for two sister companies.
of all the things to worry about though, cold calls are of little consequence, although annoying i appreciate.
i usually have two responses to them - a. hang up straight away, b. string them along when i fancy a laugh/am extremely bored!
EDIT just as i posted that - what happens - cold call! from america trying to sell me a holiday to florida! not sure if it was a recorded message or if thats what american call centre workers are trained to speak like! just hung up! ntl is registered in america isn't it.....hmmmmmm
