What gets me are the recordings that list several options and none of them are the one you want.
I got a letter about a prescription drug I take being recalled due to 'traces of a human carcinogen being found'.
They gave a toll-free number to ring.
I rang and they gave six options, none of them anything about a drug recall, and no option to speak to a person.
When asked what option I wanted, I eventually said 'none of those options', that apparently was the secret, then I got transferred to a human operator.
Got a threatening letter from the Council saying I owe £26.00 council tax. If I didn't pay it "immediately" court proceedings would result. All that for £26.00 ! Anyway I rang the number given, must have waited twenty minutes before I got to talk to someone. Told her why the threats etc ? She said the letters are from another department, and ended up being told I can pay in a month's time. Wankers !

I've also had crap off Eon they're rip offs and bullies, always at me. Threats etc, had two ballifs last year giving it the big un at my door. They tried to bully me but stood my ground, they backed off when my son turned up "unexpectedly" can't stand bully ballifs. That turned out in my favour. Bastards over charged me !
I saw a thread the other day with people claiming if you swear you get put straight through to a human. No tried it yet but sounds fun even if it doesn’t work.
What about when the automated voice asks for your date of birth ? You have to repeat three or four times before it gets through, "did you say 1964 ?" No. Heard it's a money scam to keep you on the line longer. Have you noticed there's not many free phone numbers now, usually a mobile one ? Rip offs !
