Do you get frustrated by unsolicited phone calls to your home? Well I do and, as a result, my home telephone number is registered on the Telephone Preference Service.
One organisation though hasn’t stopped calling despite me asking to be removed from its database/s numerous times.
The reason that TNS feels it is okay to continue to call my home is that it isn’t trying to sell me anything, it just wants to conduct some research instead.
To be frank, I have been quite firm in previous altercations and last night I was so assertive that the rudeness line was probably crossed. The “researcher” was just doing his job I suppose, but at gone 8pm, I had only been sat on my sofa for about ten minutes (having got in from work after 7pm) and I was less than prepared to be distracted from my wife and children by some random caller. He got both barrels.
As my previous requests to be left alone have been ignored, I suspect that last night’s opt out demands will also not be recorded on the necessary database/s. But far from accepting this fate, I am taking the fight back to TNS.
TNS, I will never respond to a single survey request you make. You might as well save your/your clients’ phone bills.
I will use my website to lambast your organisation every time you contact my home and I will encourage my readers and social media connections to share my experiences (or their own) with others that they know.
And TNS, if you want to respond to this post, don’t call – you are welcome to contact me via my website. I may publish your correspondence.
