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.

Domination takes full concentration..

Talking only answer when

you have to fart....

change your phone number for thirty bucks............

take the phone apart and put a silent mode switch in there...

record the modem sound (squelching) and play that back to them

so they think they have a fax number

disconnect your phone except when you really need it

download the use over the net phone dialer app.

it can screen your calls and auto hang up for specific numbers

I did the do not call and its been working for me too.

Another thing you could try is to get rid of your standard phones and go to just cell phones, right now they're pretty clean as far as telemarketing calls, but no telling how long that will last.

Since most of the calls are from automatic dialers, you can hear the phone call switching over to a person from the dialer - the tone changes. Hang up b/f the person speaks.
