Once registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) if you are still receiving nuisance calls you can go to their website www.tpsonline.org.uk and log a complaint.
If you're receiving nuisance calls from an individual and you have your line rental with us, we do offer some call features that may help. If you'd like to discuss your options, simply contact us.
