Absolutely priceless

Had a similar experience myself when my father passed away - i TPS'd, MPS'd & Bereavement registered both his address and telephone number.

A few weeks later i received some spam post so i rang up a well known double glazing company & asked why they had written to him and then tried to call him.

Their answer - as he was on the Bereavement register but not yet MPS register they can contact him - when challenged to repeat the statement they put the phone down

I was so annoyed i rang head office & got them eventually to write a cheque directly to the Hospice where he passed away.

I love a good battle over bad customer service and when i win the Hospice do ok out of me too - normally donate at least 50% of my compensation
