Got a call from them today for duct work.  I told them we are on the DO NOT CALL list and asked them to remove my name.  Doubt it will happen but thought I should at least give it a try.

Received a call today from Absolute Quality Home Service for duct cleaning, they claim to be in Whitby.  I had to ask the caller the name of the company 3 times as he spoke so fast and with a very heavy accent, I asked him where in Whitby the company was and he would only say they are in Whitby.  When I asked for the company phone # the caller started getting irritated and then hung up on me.  THERE IS NO ABSOLUTE QUALITY HOME SERVICE in Whitby.

I received this call on a Sunday afternoon; is it not against the law to do telemarketing on Sunday??

I was called today by the same company, "Absolute quality home services" today. I allowed him to talk and took the time to ask him questions and find our more about their company. He advised me that they have a long history of service in Ontario. I was unable to find any reference to the company in Canada on the Internet, other than this original posting about the do not call list.I asked the person if they refer to the do not call list before contacting people. He didn't seem to know who I was and then attempted suggest that I had previous services of duct cleaning, windows or door services, carpet cleaning and the like in the last year. He certainly seems to have the answers to the questions down well. I clarified that I had never contacted this company, had any of their services, nor had I even heard of them. He quickly exited from the call.So much for the do not call list when companies are bypassing it by outsourcing the calling centres to outside Canada.Oh well, the list has definitely significantly reduced the number of calls I deal with.

There is a mechanism to register complaints with the do not call list folks in Ottawa, the CRTC handles complaints.  I`ve registered a complaint and there was follow up by CRTC and they even notified me when they got a conviction.  I just received a call from Absolute Quality Home Services they tell me they are out of CAmbridge, they offered duct cleaning at 1/2 of the regular price of $260 includes sanitization and cold air return cleaning.  Obviously they don`t adhere to the DNCL.  I`ll be lodging another complaint with the CRTC.
