Not as such, but I think it’s related to this letter I wrote them.
I receive a call, have an automated system tell me I’m on hold waiting to be put through (even though they called in the first place), then they hang up. This happened on multiple occasions. I suspect that the telemarketing agent places the call without checking the details first, then they see that I opted not to be contacted and quickly hang up.
Slowly, we’re getting there.
Dear Friendly Telephone Sales Agents Who Keep Calling Me Every Week
While I appreciate the attention that you bestow upon me, it would be appreciated further still if you could stop Calling Me Every Week. I am not in need of the various credit card facilities you offer. To explain further, this is how I use my credit card:
1 Shop or pay bills
2 Accumulate card benefits
3 Top up card in full by month end
4 Repeat
There. As you can see I do not need any instant cash advance, slow cash advance, easy repayment scheme, difficult repayment scheme, shop-till-you-drop-pay-till-you-may or other attention grabbing promotion.
Do you see that check box, hidden at the bottom of my record, labeled “Do Not Contact”? That one. Check it please, now. I have already advised you, your other Friendly colleague, and the other Not So Friendly colleague before that. I know for a fact that other people just hang up, or shout back, but I’m not like that. I’m writing this letter instead. I did not wish to resort to such unorthodox and drastic measures, but you leave me with no option.
Yours truly.
