What really pissed me off was the combination of a debt collection agency who didn't seem capable of understanding what I was telling them i.e. I'm not the twat they are pursuing, I don't live at his address, I have never met him, and the joys of silent calls from GE Capital or GE Money as it now appears to be called.
This week's crop has included calls from far far away, where they no speaka da lingo very well.
And, for a change, calls for some woman I've never heard of either, with a different name & address to the twat mentioned above.
Deep Joy.
And all these fecking names & numbers are now in a multiplicity of different databases, like 118118, 192, BT, etc. etc. etc.
So I've complained to the Data Protection thingy as well.

Well at the moment I'm not but they are merging with Telewest so I may get stuck with themOriginally posted by wendigo100My God, I'm glad I'm not with NTL, or "Network that Torments Lizards".
I thought BT were bad enough, but they have cleaned up their act lately. Touch wood.
Wonder if it will get any better when they subsequently become part of the Virgin Group
