Has anyone got a solution to these 10 or 20 message a day i receive from PPI and loan companies. I have asked countless times to be taken off list. Also have send "stop" back many time with no result. They just keep coming.:-x:-x

[i hate bailiffs]

they are annoying

i just delete them and never reply back to them as heard that sending STOP back can cost you to do so

Hi MrKelly

 

Welcome to CAG

 

Once you've written/e-mailed the companies, lodge a formal complaint with the ICO, if they don't stop.

Tell them that is what you are going to do.

If it gets too bad your provider should be able to change your number for you at very worst case scenario. Although to do it for free most networks need a crime reference number, just call the local police, report it and they should give you a crime ref number.
