    Get two or three a week from these idiots offering be a new boiler, solar panelling, loft insulation etc. Am registered with the TPS (useless). Have now reported number to Ofcom and ICO. Personally, Ive got my own way of dealing with them in mind, but it isn't strictly legal!

    J Wright replied 6/11/14, 6:46 PM
    Having posted an earlier comment before reading other complaints I'm confused. If you listen to the message and press 2 to supposedly speak to an adviser and the line goes dead, what is the telemarketer's point? If you can't talk to anyone to make an appointment - should you want to which I can't imagine - why are they doing this? What do they get out of it?
    Mark replied 6/20/14, 6:18 PM
    To be honest, I wouldn't risk even pressing '2'. You never know what they're up to and where pressing '2' will take you. Even if you'll end up getting billed for the call. It happens. Best thing to do is just put the receiver down, dial 1471 to see if the number's left, then report to Ofcom and/or the ICO. May not do any good, but lately I've not been getting so many. Maybe somebody's taken some action and they've been shut down..... for now.

    Best way to stop these calls is to agree for a salesperson to come round. When they turn up, tell them straight. "That because they are wasting your time, you are now wasting theirs". I did this about 4 years ago with a well known double glazing company, guess what? They have never rung me again.

    This number is not their real number. Their real number is 0161 826 7993.
    They refuse to take you off their list so do what someone else has said:
    Agree for someone to come round to do their checks. When they arrive just say you cancelled over the phone the same day. Maybe do this once per week till they get the message.

    The Next time I get this phone call, I will agree & then murder the person who arrives to install the boiler. I have had enough of this. It's harassment.

    we are getting up to 12 calls a day from a company that is trying to sell boilers and it is driving us mad. My parents are both in their 80's, in poor health and are also receiving on average 10 a day. Something has to be done to make whoever is responsible suffer in a similar manner.

    There's possibly something more sinister going on here than first appears. Call centres are anonymous & unscrupulous, surviving on the commissions they receive from selling 'leads' generated on the phone.

    One way to silence the call centre is to remove it's income stream by taking the paying 'clients' out of the food chain. If every call resulted in an appointment, subsequently a waste of time, the 'leads' will be seen to be useless and the 'clients' will abandon this tactic. The call centre then moves on to the next scam.

    Same principal could be deployed in other tele-marketing scenarios. Worth a thought.

    News release: 30 May 2014

    The ICO is asking for consumers’ help after a spike in nuisance calls selling boilers, insulation and solar panels.

    The automated calls appear to be coming from 0161 or 0191 numbers, but initial investigations suggest the caller is using a false number. The number may also show up as being international on some phones.

    Anyone receiving a call is asked to report it to the ICO.

    Anyone who’s already engaged with the company or received a visit from someone representing them should call our Helpline, on 0303 123 1113.
    Andy Curry, Enforcement Manager at the ICO, said:

    “What we want to do is to stop these nuisance calls, but to do that we need the public’s help. If you’ve signed up to the TPS and you’re getting calls, or if you’re getting recorded message calls when you haven’t asked for them, then we need to know.”

    “It looks as though these green energy initiatives and dubious scrappage schemes are becoming ‘the new PPI’, with more and more people receiving nuisance calls and texts about them. They are responsible for a significant chunk of the concerns we receive, and are a focus for our enforcement team.”

    Text messages promoting green energy initiatives and so-called ‘scrappage schemes’ were responsible for 42% of concerns raised with the ICO between January and March. That coincided with a significant reduction in the number of concerns about messages relating to Payment Protection Insurance (PPI).

    Earlier this month, the ICO warned two companies in Yorkshire and Devon they face fines totalling £140,000 for making nuisance calls. The ICO also raided a SIM farm in Wolverhampton which may have sent more than a million nuisance text messages

    John replied 7/24/15, 1:43 PM
    as I have said on another site the ICO seems to be a useless organisation and is full of good sentiment.The ICO needs a complete overhaul as it is not fit for purpose.I share everyones concerns here.This problem is not being reported in the news which it should be.
    annoyed replied 1/13/17, 3:42 PM
    I get these If your on benefits you can get a boiler for free calls several time away. This thread has been going for 2 years and NOTHING has been done about it. Each time it is a different number - probably randomly generated - so no point putting it into barred calls list. BT should be fined every time one of these calls goes out - that would soon stop them. How can it be legal to show a false number?

I have NEVER responded, always hang up but am being driven mad by these people. Don't know this is the number because it doesn't give one. BT OUGHT to be able to stop this.

Every time I press 2 to Speak to someone I don't get through. And lately they've been calling from an unknown number so I can't stop it. I've even spoke to BT to see if they could do anything but since they change there number constantly they can't block the calls.

    Took this off ICO website.
    News release: 20 May 2014


    Two companies have been warned that they are set to face fines totalling £140,000 for breaching electronic marketing rules.

    A Yorkshire direct marketing firm was linked to thousands of nuisance marketing calls by the ICO. The company was identified after members of the public made over 630 reports to the ICO and the Telephone Preference Service after receiving calls, despite opting out of receiving marketing calls.

    Meanwhile, a Devon PPI Claims company faces a similar penalty for prompting over 600 reports from the public.

    The two companies have one month to provide evidence proving they were not responsible for making, or initiating, the calls. If no evidence is provided, the final penalties will be served and the companies’ details, along with information about their illicit activities, will be released.

    So i urge everyone to report this number every single time they call. We can stop this with enough reports

    Fred replied 5/23/14, 9:30 AM
    So reading above it looks like ICO takes action when they get 600 complaints. Wonder if it is 600 in a month?

    As with other callers, there are periods when I am called numerous times a day. The same recorded voice about Government funded UK based boilers, tying up your phone, prompting you to press a number. I would never do this in case it leads to a premium rate number, so do not know how to stop these pests. I have reported this to the ICO many times. Will they ever stop?

Entered 2 and spoke to a girl where I demanded to be taken from the database.... She then asked me the age of my boiler. When I re-enfrced my demand to be taken off their list, she simply said "I can't" and hung up. Something needs to be done about this Company.
