Hi,

I've just been cold called by a company who claim that if you are on the TPS database, you have to renew your details every 24 months 'because this is the average lifespan of a telephone number'! I have never heard of this and wonder whether any forum members or staff of AAY ever have?

The company gave its name as 'Living Space' and by dialling 1471, I was able to get a phone number as 08452-269900.  Unfortunately the assistant phoning disconnected me when I asked to take down his name and details (no surprise there, then).

I'm not giving them the satisfaction of me ringing them back, but what he told me sounds a lot of nonsense.  Does anyone know any more?

Hi there, i would ring or email the TPS and ask them about it.

I used to get cold calls from a certain company and mentioned it to the TPS, who then sent out forms to me to fill in if it happened again (it hasn't) as last time they rang i asked where they got my details from as i was registered witht he TPS, and they instantly put the phone down!

Hope you get it sorted.

The Call Prevention Registry has a 95 per cent success rate for blocking unwanted telemarketing calls and it’s been particularly effective with those from India and Sri Lanka. It costs £35.75 to register three telephone numbers, including mobile phone numbers. Visit www.callpreventionregistry.co.uk. This works for me.
