claimed to be calling from British Gas Light but I have been told that BGL do not have a call centre. Very pushy foreign man, calls daily even though I told him I do not want to renew and he tells me that my rates will be changed to higher rates even though my contract does not expire until next year. I have asked them not to call me again and again but they continue to harass me daily.

The number 01427837662 called me this morning. It was a silent call so I blocked it. As I was blocking it I heard a male voice, but it was to late to stop the blocking. I noticed that no one looked up this number before, there were no comments, so I called the number but there was only hissing noise on the line.
