27 complaints - Stoke-on-trent
Cold called trying to sell me mobility aids. Said I was TPS, she said it didn't apply to them as they were market researchers. Disgraceful scumbags.
Bizarrely, got out of the bath to answer the call. Should be disconnected.
Must get at least 5 to 6 calls a day from this number plus about 15 others calls all from unknown numbers so sick of this, all my phone numbers have names so if its one I don,t known I leave it to ring and let the answer phone deal with it if its some one who really needs to contact me they will leave a message no message no call back but its so annoying as I am typing this another one is calling guess what did not leave a message that,s 5 this morning up to now
sick of these ringing me all the time
Maybe this is no more than coincidence. Normally I don't get unsolicited calls but I did get one from Bath-Knight just a few days after applying for a disabled parking Blue Badge. It's hard not to imagine that Bath-Knight may have some way to obtain telephone numbers from the government department than handles this.
Numerous unsolicited calls from number, as I receive work details over the phone this type of call costs me money, it is high time the Government acted and made these calls illegal, with both the caller and the company liable.
I get two phone calls a day everyday. I do not answer because it is probably a sales call. But it is so annoying for the phone to be ringing for a period of time everyday.
They are still at it - fortunately my partner who took the call couldn't hear it properly apart from a phrase about 'renewing your details'. I rang 1471 and then decided to google first before ringing back - now glad I did !
I am just adding my name to the list of those complaining about getting a call from these people. I don't answer their calls, but I resent their intrusion anyway.
I have just been cold called by Bath Knight - 01782747000 The caller was polite, but I had not asked the firm to contact me - and when I asked why she was calling she said that the firm was 'phoning people in my area to see if they needed help with bathing. I have checked out the firm on the web in the few minutes since I received the call and can see that it has a reputation for trying to sell over-priced bath aids to vulnerable people. If my complaint - when added to all of the others - helps in stopping this firm from cold calling that would be a good result.
I went for an interview with this company Care Knight / Bath Knight. They purposely target the elderly with cold calls. One of the so called sales managers called Ian said they call anyone (his term was) throw shit on the wall to see what sticks. I did join the company as a sales rep in the field as I was desperate. However I only did 1 day and told them to stick it. They pester the elderly and then hard sell them on a bath lift for nearly 2000 pounds. It must only be worth about 300 pounds. Their sales script is to tell the elderly people, "Go on, I will put you down for the one you love" Then keep repeating it to them over and over. As I say I only did the 1 day plus 1 more appointment the next day. Most of the people thought I was something to do with social services. This is not a good company, the owner somehow got sent to see the queen for tea as a successful business woman. I bet the queen would not have been happy if they were cold calling her mother (RIP) Report them whenever they call you and never allow them into your home.
This number calls at least twice per day. Calling back the number results in recorded message from a company called Care Knight giving an 0800 number to call.
my mum said she had a call from this number. She is 84, quite deaf and suffering with early dementia. They are Care Knight or Bath Knight and they are targetting the elderly to try out bath aids - so they can sell them! This is a COLD CALL, so unless you want to buy such items do not make an appointment. I was able to phone them back on 08001690690 and cancel the appointment they got her to make. She thought it was someone from the housing or social services. They shoul dnot be allowed to do this. How did they know her name, address and that she was elderly????
This number has phoned 3 times today the 1st time at 4-40am which is very annoying ,nobody there and just voices & laughing , whatever it is they are trying to sell it would put anyone off.
The salesman asked for me by name and asked if I had more difficulty getting in the bath or getting out of it. I don't know how he got hold of my name because the number is ex directory. I have never requested any information on Bath Knight or related products.
picked up the phone heard laughing then they hung up.
Almost every day, this number rings and then operator says the other person has cleared. I thought these multi calls were outlawed, if not they should be!!
We have had several calls from this no. It is a real worry when you don't know who's calling espesially when you are an oap and feel vunerable. Surely this is illegal!!
Constant calls also fed up with constant Fax bleep on my home phone.
I'm registered with TPS - how do they get my number for cold calling? Surely it's illegal!
After answering a number of calls where no one was on the other end, I called the 0800 number and asked the switchboard to pass on a message regarding the company's need to get some training in telephone courtesy. Won't do any good, but at least I felt better!
Numerous calls from this number at all different times. I have given all numbers in my phonebook a musical ringtone so now I don't even bother to get up to answer it if it just rings as normal. If it's someone genuine they'll leave a message.
Its Bath Knight. A bath lift company calling OAPs from the Midlands trying to get them to book appointments with commission only salesmen
http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/01782747000 This thread gives lots of complaints about this number and its sneaky sales tactics to get you to phone back. May even be illegal.
This is a silent call that hangs up: then you dial 1471 and get another freefone number to call, then that number is trying to sell you "Bath Knight" products. See this thread for more info. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=1013601
Called and hung up as soon as I picked up the phone.
rang and then hanged up when phone was answered
