"Global Credit Management" now that's a powerful sounding name, yeah right!, they don't have a clue..
Having a Caller Display helps to keep track of these phone calls, the first one was on the 9th May and was shown as 02030043198, I played him (an Asian sounding chap) along for a bit with his patter; "Sir, we can help you with 'new' Government legislation" he says, what's that I ask; "An Individual Voluntarily Arrangement" he confidently replies. "so why are you contacting me?" I ask; "because we are contacting all householders in case they need our help".. (that's nice aint it?)..
So asked him why he was contacting me as I did not live in England or Wales as an IVA is only valid in those countries,(I work in the financial industry) "I do not understand - you are not in those countries?" he asked perplexed, I confirmed and he put the phone down, but not before I informed him our phone number was on the 'Telephone Preference List' and must be removed..
However at 12 o'clock today; same number (and same chap I'm sure) rang again.. I think it must have taken a bit to get into his thick head I was the same person he had spoken to before especially as the conversation went the same way..
Now for 'Global Credit Management' to ring me twice in a week, and not know that IVA's are not valid in Scotland, says an awful lot about this firm.. pretty crap I'd say..
And yes I have two complaints being dealt with by TPS..
