Please be aware of Talk Talk sales reps or any other company for that matter, make sure you see ID, and tell them you need to call Talk Talk or which ever company it is to confirm they are legitimate before even speaking to them, this is what happened to me. My front door was knocked yesterday and a young lady and young man I think they were Indian, said to me they were from "Talk Talk" the offered me free internet and free line rental on my land line and to buy out my sky contract, it all seemed too good, when I asked for a printed leaflet with all the details they couldn't produce anything, they then told me I only had until 5pm to sign up or the deal would end, they then asked for bank details to do a 1p transaction and they asked for permission to do a credit check, it started raining so they moved inside my front door, she then asked me to get her a glass of water, when I returned with the water they where making for my living room, so I asked them to leave politely which they did. I called talk talk and they told me that they were definitely not employees, so I called the police, they said there is nothing much they could do, so I thought of the Forum, spread the word please
There was a similar thread to this a few weeks back - people concerned about a scam/con by a young indian couple. No telling if its the same people, but alarm bells were ringing then and now. Just had a quick look through old threads but couldn't find it I'm afraid...
i had a woman at the door fitting that description from Talk Talk last night, around 7:00pm - she wanted to come in but I said no. i did think it odd she didn't have a brochure to give me, though she stressed they weren't taking any money (as if I'd ever hand over cash or a card to some random person!)
As somebody who's worked for TalkTalk before I can tell you all this could be totally legitimate,They usually say they can give you cheaper broadband and homephone prices?They may come across as very full on but its because they work on a commission only basis.When a sale is agreed they come in and take details of previous internet supplier and internet points for connection etc

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
