- "K" reports on a new field for
LBM:
i just got a marketing call
from these people regarding new legislation on unsecured
debt, i am regestered with the TPS and when i asked
for a team leader they hung up
I did
1471 and got there number which when i called i
got an answering machine message which gave me there
freephone number 08000272500 so i called it (which
costs THEM money when YOU call them)
so i
kept calling hoping someone would pick up the phone
but as you can guess no-one did after about 100
calls i gave up but will try again when i have some
free time.

- "L" is concerned about where LBM
gets its data from:
I have been pestered
with calls on my mobile from these people via their
0800 0641087 number. I have found some info that
they call people at random about phone contracts
running out. The weird thing is I'm not on contract,
I've got PAYG, and I very rarely give out my mobile
number to people I don't know. So I would like to
now how they got my number? Is my phone provider
selling my number to them?

- "J"'s story is a familiar one:
Just
wanted to add to the large list!
Have been bothered
by the number 08000130051 for about a week now,
several times a day.
I, like a few of your other
messagers, looked up the number and found it to
be LBM.
I didn't bother answering the first 10
or so calls but today did and was greeted by a man
calling me by name and stating he was calling from
'Consumer Lifestyle'.
I asked him outright if
he was calling from LBM and he said he wasn't -
so I asked why the number he was calling from was
registered to LBM and he stated it definitely wasn't
LBM!
I got fed up & hung up on him.
I
have the option of 'Choose to refuse' with BT and
will ban this number if they continue to bother
me but I find it unbelievanble that this company
keeps getting away with lying over who they really
are.
