Blimey!!! What a phone call, glad you handled that call. Has made me chuckle though & I might forget my date of birth if I ever get calls like that again.
Fancy them phoning you & then telling you to go to your local branch & what for?!?!

Paul what a brilliant call! I would love to have been a fly on the wall in the call centre at the time!

Paul that's great. I had LTSB on yesterday trying the same. The man said he was Steve and calling from card services in Brighton, clearly I could tell he was calling from a call centre in India, I told him that I knew he was calling from India so I asked him where the call centre was and what his real name was. He admitted he was in fact in India and then told me his real name. He then wanted to discuss my account with me but I told him I could not be sure of his identity and could not trust someone who told lies so I hung up!

nice one. They have rung again since and spoke to my wife but she put the phone down. I rang them straight back and told them not to ring again and only to write to us as the wife was feeling very depressed. They said they didn't have our telephone number on the account, I said well how did you ring it then. He did say he would put a note on the account not to ring again. I doubt it though

well they just rang again, they are persistent tonight. They asked wife if she was (wife's name), she placed the phone to one side and typed on the keyboard of the computer for a little while and then picked the phone up again and said "computer says no", they put the phone down.

If you have politely advised your creditors of your intentions, and they persistently do not listen, then I feel that it is appropriate for you to act in the appropriate manner.
You will be able to put together a book soon on how to deal with unwanted phone calls.
One thing my partner tends to say is "I'm busy at the moment, but if you give me your home telephone number I will phone you later on" That has usually got rid of people.
Thank you Melanie. I must admit it more funny now than it was to start with. I am glad I have managed to persuade the wife to relax with the calls and have a bit of fun back at thier expense.
Jan, I like your husbands approach, that has really made me chuckle

That's another good one! You might find they ring more now though just to see what answer you come up with![:D]

I don't know how I thought of it on the spur of the moment but when I was asked about my date of birth and I said I can't remember being born it will probably go down as the funniest thing I have ever said. It was when I put the phone down I realised how funny it was.
