They all say they will remove my number, this bnever happens This constitutes cold blooded pre-meditated Harassment by over 15 companies in the last year

Call late at night for someone who does not live here, as they say they have a job to do. Say will remove your number but know the details will be sold on and it will start up again within a couple of weeks. I am compiling a long list of Ghouls who are harrassing me for someone elses debt. These companies do not do the most basic checks like electoral roll etc it is so much easier and cheaper to be an absolute pain

Called me 5 minutes after I sent them this email. Just so you know. I owe nothing to anyone especially Telefonica O2. I called them yesterday and they confirmed I owe them nothing and never have. I still have my original phone number from when Mobile’s came to the UK . So with that go take your scam and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine. Send your baliffs with their tattoos , gay moustaches and body armour to me and my geese will see that they don’t get past the gate. If that fails my dogs will be loose in the grounds and come with the police well they won’t come to my place anyway !!! So threaten all you like I’ll turn up in court and we always win and always get costs awarded of upwards £3,000. So do your worst you do not intimidate or frighten me. Clearly somebody’s upset about it.

Demanding money from someone who doesn't live here, nor do I know who they are demanding money from. Threatened me with eviction and being made homeless as the landlord wants me out. I own my home. In full. Without a mortgage. They told me I live in Swindon, which is about three hours away. Fraudsters and attempted extortion. Ive told them three times now to stop. Police now informed.
