[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial][COLOR=black]i called them back, the number is so familiar since they've called me soooo many timeslooking for someone who has never lived at this number. I have no debt they could be trying to collect. I just hung up the first several times. Then listened long enough to get the recording of 'if this is not the correct number' and pressed the digit so they would take me out of their data base. The calls kept coming. I called back, got a very nice lady, and explained the issue. Ok, they would take my number out of the auto dialer.... annnd as the calls kept coming so I kept calling back. Asked for a supervisor... he wasn't available. I told that person the deal, told them I???ve had it with the calls, the non compliance of withdrawing my number. That person said they'd remove it, again.... then they call again. I called back, got put on hold after an automated greeting. Hung up and kept it up till I got a real person. I have three, partial names now, told her the same gig, again. She apologized, was very nice and trying hard to get a solution. I let her go on a bit and then I stopped her and gave her the riot act. stop calling, remove my number, that 'supervisor' was still not available, nonsense was getting really old (I'd asked for him by name), and since they are not accredited with the BBB it wouldn???t have done any good to report them as I???d threatened to do, I decided to change my tactics. I???d be calling them, taking up their time, clogging up their lines, and asking again and again for the supervisor until I got what I wanted. To Be Left Alone. she accused me of threatening them, got really loud and very unhappy and started in with what she .... well at that point I hung up. so, bottom line? if every person who was ever harassed, bothered or even just irritated with this company would instead call and call and call them until they have no time to get any actual work done they might, just might, find it in their best interest to cut the nonsense and deal better with those they call for valid reasons let alone those they call for no valid reason. What do you think? That lady today said I???d 'threatened' them, well, if saying I would call until I spoke the supervisor I???d been trying to get a hold of can be considered threatening? If I'm resorting to this tactic just to get my number removed? Reminding them each time that all they have to do is remove my number, quit calling me then I have zero reason to call them? All that is threatening? hmmm, I wonder how they speak to people they have actual power over? How they treat people when they get them on the phone? How they handle their business? Those very nice employees that are smiling as hard as they can while telling me, again and again, that They will fix the problem that not one of them has bothered to fix before, nor this time I'm sure, can get really mean and loud and ugly when they don't get their way... not very fair/humane/business like, effective, productive or anything remotely efficient. a time wasting, blood pressure raising, irritation at best. Illegal is what is should be. and if they can harass others, in the guise of doing business, then I think the rest of us can do no less, when driven to it by circumstances beyond our control as in they just don't get the job done, than return the favor. Nothing like being on the receiving end to understand the crux of the issue.... and how it feels.[/COLOR]
