My girlfriend moved in with me and hooked up the house phone in her name. Ever since then, she's (we've) been getting calls from Conn's. Apparently there's a lady that hasnt been paying her bills at all and she has the same last name as my girlfriend. We've told them several times not to f***ing call my house anymore. It's at all hours of the day and its annoying the f-ing hell out of us, and me most of all. My girlfriend is being somewhat nice about it and talking to the manager and explaining the situation. They say they'll take care of it, but it never happens. We'll get the same call asking for the same lady.

Any legal advice, or do I need to start killing telemarketers?

For some reason I hit tab and enter at the same time and it posted what I had so far. Read again.

My mom had the same exact problem. Luckily my cousin is married to a lawyer, and we got the address that the people we wanting payment sent to. So we got my cousins husband to write them a letter threatening legal actions (sueing them) if they didnt stop calling us. (same kind of laws as the "Annoying Someone Via The Internet Is Now A Federal Crime" thread) We never heard frrom them again.

hmm sounds like a job for caller ID. u can set your phone up to block private numbers and numbers that they call from.

press 0 and talk to the operator fing02.gif

We've (GF) asked them not to call several times before.


We dont have caller ID. It's just a second phone to the cell phones so we dont run up the minutes.

Do you know who I contact to inform them about the harassment?

faithofadragon

well when they call again tell them if they call once more you will contact your lawyer for harassment charges

confronting the issue at the source would be the way to go. C'mon now, tell em' how it is. NO more nice guy shit.

And just curious, what's the title of this thread supposed to be?
Fucking Coons or Fucking Cons. I hope it's the latter. mad.gif

Ah, i've heard of this before. It was on the news. They did a troubleshooter thing on it. Not sure what the result was though, sorry.

Easy.

GO put your number on the national "Do Not Call" registry.

You can do it online in about 10 seconds.

Then, next time they call, politely ask for the name of the company calling and for their contact phone #. Also, get whatever "Badge" # or whatever you can. After that, inform them that you are on the national do not call registry and you are sending their information in for the $500 fine per time they call you.
