The host for This Morning, Good Morning Britain and The Martin Lewis Money Show aired his concerns on Twitter
Martin Lewis has issued a stern warning after an eight-word message was received by approximately 20,000 individuals.
Mr Lewis urged: "Please report "sorry we are experiencing unusually high call volumes" messages. We've had 20,000 reports in so far to test if some firms have this for EVERY call. Pls take 30s to report it. The point of this is to see if they play the message consistently both through the day and over weeks."If they do then it is a LIE and may well breach consumer regulations, yet we need timed data to try and tie down who the most likely offenders are.
Another individual voiced their annoyance: "Had a really bad experience with @Barclaycard recently, waited over an hour report a lost card only to be cut off when I did get through to someone."
