Nice one, I agree but there again I'm also sad enough to be looking at this web site.

This number phoned me today at 1.30pm but did not leave a message. Just phoned again at 7pm and I answered it after doing some research on the Internet and finding this site. When I answered it the woman was talking to someone else named Makala. When she realised I had answered she asked for a Mr Berkins, to which I replyed I know who you are because I've done research on you and if you phone again I shall phone the police. To which she replyed o ok I'll take your number off the database and then put the phone down. We will have to see if that happens. I am also registered with TPS

Thats strange - I had a missed call at 1pm from them. They rang again at 5:15 pm and asked for a MR Berkins. To which i replied they had got the wrong number.
I have never had any dealings with this or any similar organisations and I live in the Midlands.
Very suspicious that they asked for the same person when calling someone else.

Persistent calls from them - they're a real nuisance, and not the most polite either!!

You can call them for free to complain and ask them to remove your number from their database on 0800 093 0998.

Above number called when I was out but no message left.  Did 1471 and decided to check on internet since I didn't recognise the number.  We are also on TPS which is absolutely a waste of time.  Do they get payment for running this scheme??  However when I get calls of this nature and someone actually speaks to me I just put the phone down on the side and let them talk to thin air until they get fed up.  At least it is costing them money and not me.  Alternatively why not just answer nothing but 'yes' to everything they say. Would be quite infuriating for them. Don't think they will stay on the phone too long.

Tell you what 'Someone who knows better' why don't you give us your number and we will continually ring you.  That way you will know exactly how annoying it is to receive nuisance calls.  How does that sound hmm?

I found out thats company for cavert wall and loft Inserlaion

It is however, against the law to retain someone's personal details when they have requested them to be removed! So if these people say 'remove me from your list', then that is what should happen. I believe it is something to do with Data Protection Act?

I am loving this. Firstly, we get someone who is happily revealing themselves as a member of the company talking about legal stuff, when they can't do it right, and then you, who seems to think they can call when they have been requested to remove peoples names from the list.

I wish the company would stop calling me too!

01613372260 called me this morning, and an obviously preoccupied young lady was flummoxed - as it would seem that someone else on another cold call picked up at the same time. I have no idea who thery are, or what they want. From this link, I assume it to be Tameside Insulation - and I am also registered with the TPS!

"Tameside Insulation will use legal proceedings against any persons found to be blah blah blah"

Listen, if you keep phoning people who are registered on the TPS, who are not interested in your grants/products/whatever, and who have said don't call again, you are guilty of harassment. It's them that should be reporting *you* to the police.

You've called me every couple of months for the last year. You can't be so cretinously stupid to actually think that cavity wall insulation wears out and needs redoing that often. We can't top up the loft insulation any more. Our double glazing is fine. And you've promised more than once to take my number off your "lists" but you don't.

If we did need any work doing like that, and a grant was available, your company would be foremost in my mind to NEVER EVER deal with. Along with other certain annoying double glazing companies *cough* SafeStyle *cough* that can't take the hint.

Just stop annoying the "sad people" and the "sad people" will stop whinging about you.

"Lastly-its not against the law for people to ring you-so you are wrong again there. There is no law that states that you cannot be rang unsolicited by an individual or a business-so wrong again."

Post your phone number and we will all, "perfectly legally" phone you all the time pretending to be cavity wall salesmen, tell you about the lottery you've won, the holiday you've become entitled to, the free kitchen we will come and fit for free if you just pay us some money (duh!) .... . No? Didn't think so. There are laws about harassment, nuisance phone calls, abusive and malicious calls. Check out section 43 of the telecommunications act 1984.

That 0800 number worked, thanks. The woman said my number would be removed from their list. I told her that the name Tameside Insulation would be removed from my list of preferred suppliers, along with every other company that phone-pesters in this way.

It appears (but cannot prove it easily) that this company has been given (or purchased, borrowed or found) people's phone numbers through "MyOffers" - usually found on MSN's home page as a "competition" to win something and 100% involves "receiving a no obligation quote" to change your energy supplier (no way to enter the "competition" unless you give your phone number and someone calls with with a quote about your gas and electric).  Unfortunately even if you say no after receiving the call, your number is kept on a database forever.  You will then get calls about "appointments" to change your meter and anything else from TV to mobility scooters or insulation.

Unregister from "MyOffers" and your number will eventually drop off the list.

01613372260 –Tameside Insulation Cold calling
Asked for me by name, said it’s regarding loft & cavity wall insulation. When I asked how they got my number has I’m am Ex directory the young man said I had submitted a survey ! I told him that’s something I don’t do, and I’m not interested, he was very polite and said oh right sorry.  
Then said “I’ll try later” !!!!! God help him if he does !

I have had 4 calls from this lot in the last 2 days - I did not pick the phone up and they left no message - in the end I rang them back and told a lady on the other end very politely that I wasn't interested in their services - she promised my phone number would be taken off their lists. We shall see?

Had 2 calls today from this number.  First I missed, and answer machine cut in.  No message left.  Called back 10 minutes later, which I answered.
Guy asked for me by my surname and asked about insulation on my property.  I asked how he got my number, which he said that they were calling every home in the UK, as there was a government grant available.  I mentioned the TPS scheme, and he immediately answered that he was not selling anything, just offering a grant.  I declined any offers and he thanked me for my time and hung up.

I think Megan must be a cold callers dream, if they ring her, she will just place an order without any research.

Even if I need a pink gimp suit I still check out the suppliers on the internet and I call them not the other way round. Pathetic

getting cold calls from this number - annoyed!!!

Have just been called but it is the second time in less than a month. I did not answer the phone as i did not want to be interruptedd. |Just got the number via 1471. Oh and I am registered with tps

called 6 times today asking for Mrs Smith .. told on each occasion caller had wrong number. Hopefully they have given up now!

Again it appears that the TPS is not doing its job as I am also registered yet still receive cold calls from this number and others who should not have my ex-directory number!
