wow what an unbelievable offer, since registering with TPS I havent had such a good offer call me out of the blue.. i wanted to know more

After asking the kind lady how they got my number as I was ex-directory and registered with TPS she simply hung up.. wait.. i want my debts consolidated !!

I had EXACTLY the same call yesterday and I'm also on the TPS register.

I was tempted to pursue the same question as you "how the f*** did you get my number/why are you calling" but I just hung up as I was busy on the playstation and about to get shot

I don't get many calls like that anymore. I get more grief from existing relationships "banks, credit cards and insurance are the WORST". Ah yes, we see your car insurance is due... yes it is, you said you wouldn't touch it last time as it's a group 20 vehicle, remember?

Right, do you have any pets? No... I had a cat once but I ate him because I didn't have any chicken in the house.

I have always wanted phones to come with a 'punch interlocutor on face' (PIF) button for that very reason.

I believe someone actually patented the idea in the 1920s but nothing came of it due to manufacturing difficulties.

Surely it would be possible with today's technology.

after pressing 5 to go through to the helpful but annoyingly american accented call operator, i was advised that I can simply register with them and they will take care of all outstanding debts i have, FOR FREE, and i will no longer have to worry about debts..

the company that provides this amazing new service? Uk Consolidation..

shame i have no debts to consolidate
