I am being plagued by "end of contract" calls trying to sell me a new contract.
At least 1 or 2 phone calls a day.
All the companies seem to be Welsh who say there are "6 companies in the area" who do this.
Three companies I have details for are:
Landmark Communications
Llanelli
Tel: 07970 219522
Communications Direct
Dominions House
Cardiff,
CF10 2AR
Tel: 02920368700
h**p://www.communicationsdirect.org.uk
Shelco Telecom
3A Pontardulais Rd
Gorseinon
WEST GLAMORGAN
SA4 4FE
Tel: 0870 2424794
h**p://www.shelcotele.com
When asked "where did you get my number from" they either:
1. say "We got your number from o2"
2. say "We got your number from o2's national database of end of contract numbers"
3. say "the first numbers of your telephone number 07843 tells us your on o2 and the last numbers we generate".
4. Hang up
I have asked o2 and they say "they do not give out personal details" and there is no database.
My Question is if they generate my number:
a) how do they know i'm on o2 and at the end of my contract ?
b) is it legal for them to store my number and call me ?
A quick internet search shows people are having the same problem:

Please name and shame these companies here and hopefully the right agencies will stop them.
