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

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
