Personally, I'm fed-up of the texts saying I've got £3,500 damages for an accident I had at work - chance would be a fine thing - a job I mean, not the accident. Maybe I should ask them where I'm working so they can get a salary for me
You definitely should. I once asked an estate agent who told me they'd sent on the requested information to my husband for the name and whereabouts of said husband - since as far as I was aware I'd been single all my life! No reply to that one, of course. (I was also peeved off since they implied that I, as a woman, was obviously not able to understand information related to property. But that's a different issue...)
Must say, I rarely get nuisance calls these days, since I'm registered under this preference calls scheme or whatever it's called. The only nuisance calls I get are debt collectors trying to contact the guy who lived here before me - 3.5 years after I moved in. I suspect he still hands out his old phone number. At least 4 out of 5 calls I get are from those kind of companies. (OK, I admit, I get very few calls myself.)
