The ECSSA website currently shows the names and addresses of all our members apart from those who have specifically asked not to be placed on the website.

Both mobile and landline numbers are also included. However, we have been receiving an increasing number of requests from contractors to remove the phone numbers from the website as their being pestered by nuisance calls from EPACE, Advertising Companies, Charities, Magazine Publishers, Surveys, and other unidentified callers, all seeking to extract money from the contractor, and all indicating that they have received his contact details from ECSSA.
To start with ECSSA does not authorise anybody to contact our members selling advertising or requesting donations, and it goes without saying that our attitude to EPACE does not need to be repeated.
It has now come to the stage where we have to seriously consider removing all contact numbers from the website and informing the public that if they have a genuine reason to contact a particular contractor, that they should phone ECSSA to obtain contact details.
We are obliged by the CER to publish a list of our members, but it is unlikely that this publication would have to extend to including contact phone numbers, particularly when
such contact details are increasingly becoming a source of annoyance and time wasting for our members.
