Any Idea How To Get All These Damn Credit Card Companies From Calling?

BF, try this...

I did it and haven't gotten a call since.

do not call list is an absolute waste of time. I've submitted the forms on about 10 of them now and not a single thing is done. MA state atty general even had the balls to send me a form letter acknowledging the problem with the company but not enough people complain so they won't do anything. WHAT good is a law if they won't enforce it.

It worked for me...
Haven't gotten one since...and I used to get a lot. Worth a shot.
Salty, don't you ever have anything positive to say about anything?...
Lighten up dude....

I used to have this problem all the time,( one HUGE down side of having excellent credit!!! )
and trust me,
if it was a female on the other end of the phone, I would say some very nasty things to her that could probably have me locked up in jail!!!
I called my phone company (Verizon) and they changed my plan that stops them, and I NEVER get them now !!! but I pay for it!!! $$$

A problem with the do not call list is that any company that you currently do buisiness with can call you. I have been on the list for a while and I constantly get calls from companies "representing" the credit card companies that I owe too much to get rid of. That and non-profits and political orgs don't fall under the laws. In fact, the only calls it stopped were the vinyl siding guys that never believed me about living in an apartment and only called once a month anyways. Credit card companies are all evil and once you deal with one, you're sucked into the mess forever.

here is a solution.
Become a total deadbeat and stop paying you're bills, declare bankrupt, let them foreclose of youre house ect.....

Thats just it Ron...they are not calling because we owe them money....they want to extend more credit to us! Can you believe that? If we were dead-beats they would be calling us less than they do now!!!

Decline the credit extension and instead since youre a member in good standing ask that they lower your interest rate, let them know that you've been rate shopping. If they wont budge, ask them not to contact you, unless your account is being used incorrectly. Best of luck.
