I had First Utility call tonight offering to save me money, their first question was "Who is your present supplier", I said "You are", oops they said.

I have had that with my home Insurance company.

I always say that to my hairdresser when they ask 'who normally cuts your hair'.

These 'surveys' are more often than not companies cold calling looking for business. I tell them who supplies my water/electricity etc is my business and not theirs and put the phone down. If you respond with information it could be passed on to a number of companies then they won't leave you alone

I always put the phone down on cold callers, without comment.

Re: Sould Pay more Attention

With calls like this I usually ask where they got my number from? If they reply that they have a list of numbers to call I tell them that, if they cannot tell me where they got that list from, then there is no chance that I will be doing any business with them as I am on the telephone preference service so they should not be calling me. The usually apologize and hang up... but they never say where they got my number from.
