For the last couple of weeks I've been coming home each day to voicemails sent every hour by Barclaycard (essentially Visa) wanting to speak to the people from whom I bought this house. Fifteen (yes, fifteen!) years ago! A few times I've picked up the phone to answer them and told the people on the other end that these people don't live here any more, and to stop calling this number. I might as well piss into the Pacific for all the difference it makes. I've even tried phoning the number they want the people to call, but it's a robot with a menu that never leads to a human. Their website doesn't want anyone to contact them unless they're an account holder, which I'm not. Earlier today I found a very well-hidden Contact Us link on their site which doesn't require me to hold an account with them before I can get in touch, so I've sent them an email. Following that I went out to play squash, only to come home 30 minutes ago to another 2 robot calls from these f_ckwitted bell-ends and an auto-response to my email telling me that they're too busy to get in touch and to wait for a few days.
