Unwanted Calls from EYG: Frustration Mounts Among Residents

Residents across East Yorkshire are voicing their frustrations over incessant calls from a company known as EYG, which specializes in home improvements, particularly double glazing. The number in question, 01482561101, has become synonymous with unsolicited calls, leaving many people feeling harassed.

A Rising Tide of Complaints

Many users have shared their experiences, describing a pattern of relentless calling that has left them feeling overwhelmed. One individual, who opted to remain anonymous, stated simply, "Will block 🚫." This sentiment resonates with numerous others who have taken to social media and comment sections to express their desire to end the barrage of calls from EYG.

Another commenter noted, “Unsolicited call. I’m not interested.” The message is clear: many residents are annoyed by uninvited outreach from a company they have never engaged with. Furthermore, calls persist despite individuals taking steps to protect themselves, such as registering their numbers with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS).

The Source of the Calls

Numerous complaints detail how EYG is allegedly acquiring phone numbers. One frustrated resident wrote, “I suspect they have got my number from Google.” This highlights concerns surrounding privacy, with many wondering how their information ended up in EYG's call list. Others have filled in additional context. "Had some work done 5 years ago," one user mentioned, "and they have been ringing every few weeks ever since."

Once EYG has a customer’s contact information, it appears they do not let it go, continuously reaching out for additional work. A participant in the discussion expressed regret for their earlier decision to hire the company: "I wish I had not had them do the work in the first place."

Customers Seek Solutions

The frustrations have led users to explore various options for tackling these persistent calls. Blocking the number seems to be a common first step. One user shared they had blocked both the Hull number and an associated number from Scarborough. Despite these attempts, the calls continue to disrupt daily routines, prompting others to consider complaints through formal channels. "Net job will be to report them to TPS," wrote another respondent, affirming their intention to take action.

Many have the impression that simply requesting to have their number removed from EYG's lists falls on deaf ears. One person noted, “they say they will but never do.” This sense of futility plays into the growing narrative that once a phone number is in EYG's system, the company will stop at nothing to reach out to that individual.

The Nature of the Calls

Regarding the type of interaction respondents have had, many indicated they have chosen not to answer unknown numbers. “I did not answer (don’t tend to answer an unknown number these days),” one participant remarked on a call they received. Another shared their experience of receiving a call in Leeds, stating simply, “Call received…but number not recognised so not answered.”

For those who do pick up, it appears the outcome is often the same. One noted, “this number called today and left no message but stayed on the line throughout the message period.” Such interactions leave people feeling unnerved, wondering about the legitimacy of the caller and the purpose of the outreach.

The Company’s Reputation

EYG is known as a double glazing firm with locations in Hull, York, Leeds, and several other towns. The company markets itself as experienced installers and manufacturers, asserting to provide a wide range of stylish home improvements. However, the reputation it is developing through unsolicited phone calls casts a shadow over its claimed expertise.

As frustrations continue to mount, it remains to be seen whether EYG will reconsider their marketing strategies or address the growing concerns expressed by irritated residents. The message is clear: many in the area are looking for peace and wish to reclaim control over their phones.

In the meantime, residents are left to find ways to cope with the persistent calls, whether that means continuing to block EYG’s number or taking further steps to report them. As this issue unfolds, updates will be crucial for those affected by the ongoing situation.

For now, those on the receiving end of these calls find unity in their frustrations, hoping to put an end to unsolicited marketing efforts that invade their privacy and peace of mind.
