For tha last 4 weeks or more I get calls daily from a finance company asking for my step daughter who has not lived here for over 10 years
They start with "This is an important message for ..............." and follow with the usual "press *** if this, press yyy if that". They even call early morning and wake me up some days.
She recently left her husband and moved to Manchester, I have no details of her current phone number or email address.
I traced the company originating the calls and have phoned them 4 times and also emailed, best result has been 2 days with no calls but they have since restarted.
My phone service provider will not block the number unless it is from a "number with held" caller; the Government "Consumer direct" service can not help as "the number has been given to the company as a contact"
Suggestions I have had include using the Telephone Preference service, they only work for unsolicited marketing calls, changing my phone number, not an option in my view, changing phone service provider, why should I have to pay out (installation charges) for something which ought to be controllable (or banned), buying a box which intercepts calls, again cost, as for changing service provider, (or more).
