Can you believe this? What a loser!

I know what it's like getting calls from companies etc that you have given your details to. A few years back we got the phoneline back in the house to get SKY TV and broadband and within a few days we received a phonecall asking for a Mrs Anderson. I said sorry wrong number and thought nothing of it, but it happend the following day with a call from another company. This then started happening numerous times a day every single day, going on for months. We were getting that annoyed we unplugged the phone, but after a few weeks decided to plug it in again, and yes you've guessed it, the phonecalls returned. Now they were also asking for Mr Anderson and the range of companies was getting wider. We rang BT but they said if we wanted to change the number we'd have to pay, well I weren't going to pay. Then we had a really odd call asking for Mrs Anderson and when I said wrong number and to remove it from their database, they asked for a forwarding number or address. I just said they've got the wrong number so I don't have that info. Their reply was they had only been given our number 2 weeks ago, yet we'd had the number for over 6 months. I just thought they must have it wrong, but there were 2 other phonecalls the same week, one from a friend of the Andersons and one from a school. Both callers were shocked that they couldn't speak with the Andersons as this was the only contact number they had for them and the school told me that they had only got the confact info for them that same week. The friend actually phoned us twice as she didn't believe me and screamed at me down the phone that I was a liar and called me names. I put her straight again, and then told here if she rang this number again I would go to the Police. Both phonecalls from the friend were before 6.30am. I contacted BT again telling them of the last phonecalls we received and gave them dates of all the phonecalls we'd had and told them it was a invasion of our privacy, was getting very annoying, and I was getting stressed out with it. What they said then shocked me, they tried to blame me for not having requested a newly generated number when we got the line set up again and that I would have to pay. Why would I, I didn't know they gave out old numbers? Finally after over an hour on the phone they decided to change the number to a newly generated one for free. The annoying thing was though the Andersons got away with it, they have never been pulled up for their stupid, irresponsible behaviour and I wouldn't be surprised if they do it again.

It is horrible when 2 people just can't split up maturely! Why does it always seem that one of the people always have to make it harder on another? Like a split up isn't bad enough they add to it! My husbands sister after her divorce still had his credit card. I guess he forgot about it because he never used it anyway. She racked up thousands of dollars on it and it was only in his name.

I agree, what a loser. He should have just minded his own business. That might have gave him a better reputation.
