[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been getting calls from various creditors of the prior user of our number for 3 years now.  When I get a message, I call back the number and do the automated thing for wrong number, yet they don't remove the number and keep calling back.  I'm ready to report them![/quote]
This sounds like the people who have been bothering us for years.  We are military and move a lot.  Apparently a number we had in one city previously had belonged to someone who owed debts.  I would explain it was not us and they would stop for a few months.  The next year, we moved, and they called us at our NEW number, asking for the same unusual name.  This time they did not always stop calling.  Then I made the horrible mistake of calling the you-have-thewrong-number line from work and they started calling me there.  Got Fairfax county consumer protection division involved and the calls stopped for a few months.  They have recently started back up.  From what I have read, it costs more to remove a wrong number than to just keep calling.  It is possible to sue but seems like it should not come to that.  I do report them to the FTC do not call website.  If someone has a solution for this they would be a hero.[/quote]
