Caller said "sorry wrong number" and hung up. Very odd considering the other posts here. I rang back as I recognised the code as where I lived as a child. Got a strange tone - not engaged, not fax.

Person with Scots accent rang my 87 yr old Mum in Law, asked for her by name and told her that she owed £848.  She asked them who the company was and what this amount was for and they just said she owed this money but she couldn't understand the rest of their message as the accent was strong.  She then told them that if they couldn't tell her who they were they were certainly not having any money from her.  Shr rang us as she was worried and we redialled the number given several times but got strange engaged tone.  Someone should stop these idiots from worrying elderly people.

untrue.we call from a phone book whih ar sent frm head offise its BT hence no tps checks

Suggest you ring the 0800 number given in other posts and let them know what you think about them ringing an 87 year old lady!  Also report them to OFCOM and ICO. (Even oif you don't want to report them, tell them you will do).

Just had 'more of the above!  I have a Panosonic hands free set with call barring - they won't get through next time!  and yes we're with telephone preference service...

ps not advertising panosonic but the barring function (once the call number has been assertained from this site) is just wonderfull!

Only way to deal with these people is to pretend to be interested and let them make an appointment to visit you. When they call you can then tell them to **** off. Enjoy watching them get annoyed at you wasting their time. It's the only way to beat them and get them off your back.

U R right. They R spineless cowards hiding behind false company names. They are all

Good idea to make a false appointment and piss them off. Let's all do it.

Got a call from 01592642600 earlier tonight ignored it as I am in the habit of doing, till I check it out, so Googled the no. and here I am. Been reading the thread, and the posts from employee's say it all what a despicable company they are having fun??Wait till their Mum or Dad or loved one is going through their final days on this earth and let them feel how much fun it is the phone keeping ringing when their nerves are shot with anxiety and worry.passing around numbers to deliberately harass??? this is deliberately causing alarm  and disturbing the peace a criminal offence.  Annoying the elderly and sick in their own homes where they should have peace and quiet is a scanda!!l perhaps time to take it up a notch and start a campaign with your MP's if the ICO is only writing and informing them and they are ignoring them and there is no action being taken then a stricter Law should be enforced and that will take a campaign to the Government and your MP is the point of contact. This Business should be shut down not only are they Harrassing by Telephone They are grossly overpriced and are duping people into thousands of pounds of debt with their dodgy finance deals and hard sell techniques. Stay well clear of them!!!

FULLY AWARE OF HOW MUCH DM DESIGN ANNOYS YOU.

If everyone who had taken the trouble to post on this site had also phoned the ICO to complain, DM Design would have been closed down by now.  PLEASE DO IT TODAY!  Get this lawless company shut down.

Here is the full response from the ICO to a complaint I made.  Make sure YOU follow it up with YOUR complaint to make sure these tossers get shut doen ASAP.

Of particular note:

"From the information provided it would appear that DM Design has contravened the Regulations.
The Commissioner has no powers to punish an organisation for a breach of the Regulations. His aim is rather to achieve compliance with them. In light of this we have written to DM Design reminding them of their obligations under the Regulations and explaining the action they must take to comply in future.... We will, however, keep this case on file. In the event that you receive further calls from DM Design please let us know in writing, quoting the reference number above. Where appropriate we will pass your complaint to our Enforcement Department for them to consider formal action. Where an organisation seems to be persistently breaching the Regulations we can take further action to compel them to comply. "

Michael Stephenson, ICO Case Officer, kindly gave his phone number, 01625 545515, so here is YOUR chance to report EVERY instance that D M Designs breaks the rules and disturbs you. Let's make our voices heard, and make such a nuisance of ourselves that D M Designs is forced to change their despicable ways.

Don't forget to call Donald MacLeod, their MD on 0800 185186 - at their expense - to let them know what you think of them and their lawless methods.

The reply from the ICO:

Case Reference Number *L*0*8*4**

Dear [Danger Mouse]

Thank you for your correspondence regarding the receipt of an unsolicited direct marketing telephone call from DM Design.

I apologise for the lengthy delay in providing you with a response. We are currently receiving a high volume of correspondence and this has meant that we have not been able to respond as promptly as we would wish.

The Information Commissioner advises on and enforces the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (the Regulations). These Regulations cover the way organisations market subscribers by electronic means (for example using telephone, fax, text and email). Marketing can include the promotion of goods, services, aims or ideals.

Regulation 21 of these Regulations does not allow unsolicited live marketing telephone calls to be made to a number if:

· it is registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), or the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (CTPS) and/or

· a specific request has been made to the organisation not to make marketing calls to that number

These rules do not apply if you have told the organisation that, for the time being, you do not object to such calls being made. The TPS is for individual subscribers and the CTPS is for corporate subscribers.

From the information provided it would appear that DM Design has contravened the Regulations.

The Commissioner has no powers to punish an organisation for a breach of the Regulations. His aim is rather to achieve compliance with them. In light of this we have written to DM Design reminding them of their obligations under the Regulations and explaining the action they must take to comply in future. We have also given them your telephone number and asked them to suppress it from their list. This should take no longer than 28 days. After this time you should not receive further calls from them.

We will, however, keep this case on file. In the event that you receive further calls from DM Design please let us know in writing, quoting the reference number above. Where appropriate we will pass your complaint to our Enforcement Department for them to consider formal action.

Where an organisation seems to be persistently breaching the Regulations we can take further action to compel them to comply. The Data Protection Regulatory Action Policy and details of the action we’ve taken can now be found at http://www.ico.gov.uk/what_we_cover/promoting_data_privacy/taking_action.aspx which can be accessed by clicking on the links for ‘What we cover’, ‘Promoting data privacy’ and ‘Taking action’.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Yours sincerely

Had a call from this number earlier today - a Scottish bloke - he had my name right, then said "My name is - " and hung up.
Did not call back.

Forget ICO or TPS they have no power and this company knows this and sticks two fingers up at them. They continually use false marketing names but it always ends up as  DM Design Group

Good idea as stated by Jamie above. Make a false appointment and piss them off. Pass this idea on in every web site you can think of with threads like this and maybe then they will get the message.

I got a call this morning, asking for me by name, telling me ' Not to worry it was just a call from Butler and Car wanting to tell me....... and then I mysteriously got cut off. I didn't ring it back, if they want to speak to me, they pay! Have Googled Butler and Car but nothing found.

Called me this evening. Female voice asked for a name I'd never heard of, then swore in language that would disgrace a fishwife, and asked for <my own name>. Then immediately rang off, possibly because she realised that using ultra-foul language is not a good way to approach a potential client, especially one that is TPS registered.

They phone ask your name.....you answer.....they hang up..............??????

Had a phone call saying they had found my number on the ground = when asked they were flustered and when I said the phone call was being recorded for Police purposes the line suddenly went dead

I picked up phone and it went dead straight away. 1471 identified call to be from 01592642600 - DM Design. Unusual to receive identifiable sales calls given that I am on TPS. I rang the 0800 number (as shown above) and spoke to a receptionist at their HQ, who claims that the this my experience is very unusual. However, since I am working on crime reduction initiatives in Notts, I have threatened to report this company to OFCOM, Notts Police and Trading Standards to protect Nottinghamshire residents.

they said it was a very rare experience!!????

As rare as....... 21 pages x 20 complaints......some 400 complaints,  and that is just the tiny fraction who can be [***] to air their views here.
