What I want from the good people of AB is to post on this thread any cold calls you have received about buying and paying up front for your own funeral.
Other people must have received these calls. I think it was just unfortunate that they rang me today. At least I hope it was.
Jeza, what you have experienced especially at a time like this infuriates me, and I would willingly write to that company myself on your behalf - but a complaint won't stop it. Put it behind you. You have enough on your plate. x
I don't get cold calls (only use mobile), but i do think it's incredibly insensitive. If you can find out who it was, i think you should complain. It just may prevent someone else in a similar position experiencing the same.
No idea of the company who called. It never crossed my mind at the time. After the call ended the phone rang again but I let it ring. So 1471 was not an option.
Never had one. The problem is of course it's a legitimate product or service to sell, so I'm not sure what the basis of your complaint would be. It came at a bad time for you but they wouldn't continue to sell in this manner if they didn't have success. I think you are stop per tuned in when you are in a situation. For example after the kids died all I sawon tv were ads for milk, baby products or those showing happy families. Logic tells me there are plenty of these ads on all the time but I just noticed then more at that time
Jeza, I completely agree with bednobs' really logical response. YOU are upset right now because of YOUR particular situation. The huge Earth continues to rotate despite our individual misfortunes. In your case, the call was a most unfortunate coincidence...and that's it.
