  1. I was visited by a French woman on Friday. She spoke very quickly; I caught the following: "didn't you get your grant?" "free" "SIG Energy" "all of your neighbours have signed up" etc.... Before I knew it, she had made her way into my house (forget the fact I tried to tell her I was in the middle of feeding my 9 month old grandson). I tried to get rid of her by letting her know I didn't have a ladder to the loft, but she said it didn't matter - she was used to climbing. She fell in my bath (with unemptied bath water - oops!) I did not feel sorry for her at all! But it didn't stop her. She then phoned for her boss who was outside my house in less than a minute! So then there were 4 of them, and I felt pressured and I told them I was uncomfortable with so many of them in my home. That didn't stop them; they made themselves comfortable in the front room, uninvited (remember, the french woman had wet feet from falling in the bath!). They asked for ID, then said some more about "free" then I heard £199 and clear your own loft. I quickly took the contract, scanned through it to find the cancellation in 7 days option, signed it and they left. Before this though, they used my phone to ring the office, allegedly a freephone number (I'll be checking). The person on the other end of the phone tried to give me an installation date of less than 1 month. I said it wouldn't happen; they said they would need to use that date anyway and I could change the date later. Anyway, on Monday, I filled in the cancellation form and sent it to them, recorded delivery. If I'm going to do loft insulation, I will not be railroaded into making the decision - these people are ruthless salespeople, clearly on commission. I've had double glazing and built-in furniture suppliers do the same "call the office" nonsense. I don't trust them (but that obviously is my opinion). I'm tracking my recorded delivery letter with Royal Mail, to make sure they get it! By the way, SIG and Miller Pattison share the same address, hhmmm.......... This is an excerpt from the Companies House Register, for SIG Energy Management: Previous Names: Date of change Previous Name 12/04/1989 MILLER ENERGY SERVICES LIMITED 10/04/1984 A.M. MILLER INSULATIONS (NORTHERN) LIMITED 22/10/1985 MILLER FIBREGLASS INSULATIONS (NORTHERN) LIMITED 06/01/2011 MILLER PATTISON LIMITED Does anyone know why a company would have to change their name so often?
