Re: Nuisance calls
I do have the anonymous caller on. But because the number is not being withheld its unavailable then it still gets through.
---------- Post added at 21:19 ---------- Previous post was at 20:57 ----------
One thing I have started to do is keep a log of the calls. I log the time, date, If I answered, What happened if i did answer and any number left

Re: Nuisance calls
Found out it was Capital One as I am 2 payments behind. I finally spoke to someone today. She wanted me to verify my security details which I refused as I never do when a company rings me. I don't know its them especially since its unavailable.
I told her I was not happy and making a complaint. She said Whatever and put the phone down on me.
Currently on hold now to make a complaint.

Re: Nuisance calls
Central good for you.I would complain to.Do not let them bamboozle you.
How dare they ring over and over again.That is not a good company policy considering you answered that phone each time.Why did they not speak when you picked up?

Re: Nuisance calls
Typical. When I ring up to speak to a manager I cant be transferred due to a technical problem

Because it will be an autodialler that dials many numbers at once & drops those remaining when there are no longer any customer reps available to answer.

I agree, autodiallers are evil. I was just answering your question as to why nobody answered when Central picked the phone up...

They are 2 payments behind so they did really - Diallers are an efficient way of mass outbound calling. Not great when its sales but when its recovery I think its more acceptable.

Well I for one could do without it...I'm reliant on my phone to get supply teaching work and I do not need to be answering the phone only to find there is no one there..6 times in one day yesterday.In the end I have to use the answer phone which I could do without as sometimes time is of the essence as I don't want them giving up and moving on to the next teacher on the list because I haven't answered straight away.
So I consider them evil.Especially when some woman on her own gets the silent treatment several times a day.

Re: Nuisance calls
Nothing yuou can do about this other than some of the suggestions here. I have signed up to TPS etc.
Incidentally, does anyone know why there is an option to block your number to caller display / 1471? Surely if someone dials my number - even accidentally, I have a right to know where it's coming from?. It could stop all the nuisance calls. It seems a bit reversed logic to me.

Re: Nuisance calls
I've been getting several of these calls each day for the past couple of weeks. All I can say is I'm glad I'm moving and won't be taking my number with me.

Re: Nuisance calls
Im getting loads of these calls despite only having the line from virgin for 3 months and being VERY selective about who has my number. I am also registered with TPS yet it doesnt seem to make a blind bit of difference.
I know its one before i answer it as it comes up as "out of area" on my caller display. Had about 8 of them in the last 2 days and only one bothered to speak , saying to my gf who answered the call, that i had won an alarm clock....wow!
