Consumer groups are dismayed that President Barack Obama wants Congress to make it easier for debt collectors to call the cellphones of Americans who are late on their student loans.  Currently, it is a violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act for a debt collection agency to automatically dial cell phone numbers and play pre-recorded messages.  The administration believes that allowing collectors to "robo-call," and/or use pre-recorded messages on cellphones to contact those who owe the government money will contribute to the reduction of the Federal deficit under the $3 trillion deficit-reduction plan the president submitted to congress.
The services DES (my firm) provides are based on the principles and practices of the National Consumer Law Center.  "Enabling robo-calls (to cellphones) is just going to lead to more harassment and abuse, and it's not going to help the government collect more money," said Lauren Saunders of the NCLC.
I couldn't agree more.  We know from experience that people *want* to pay their debt.  If they had the money, they *would* pay their debts.  People are out of jobs, have had hours cut back, have had businesses fail and all sorts of secondary fallout from the economic downturn.  Harassing people and using up their cellphone minutes is not going to make a difference.
Collection agencies, not surprisingly, are in favor of the proposed change, citing the fact that more and more Americans no longer have landlines and that allowing automatic dialing would make their job more efficient.  Collection agencies would like to be able to use automatic dialing for *all* debt collection.  Even if they collected no more debt than they currently do, it would enable them to cut costs and increase profits on what is already a very profitable business.
Legislation that would allow collectors to robocall cellphones for all debt collection purposes was introduced in the House last week.  If you are against this proposed legislation, please contact your Representative and let him or her know how you feel.

Just got a call from this number.  Igged it.  No message.  I simply DO NOT ANSWER calls unless I recognize the number or it is from a familiar area code.

Called but left no message.

Got this robot call claiming my credit card (no specific card mentioned) was being canceled.  Hung up so I don't know if they were trying to get a credit card number or what.

called, ignored, no message

There are only a couple of ways to defeat these Bozo's ( sorry Bozo).

Stage a Hackers challenge and see which hacker can bring down the most of these set-ups.  But that too would be against the law.

    OR

Everyone answers the call and tries to tie their salesperson up for as long as possible.  That would raise their cost per call.

Like stated earlier by another contributor if I don't recognize the phone number I let it roll to voice mail.
I also come home at night to one or two of these calls clogging up my home voice mail.

If there are any town meetings or candidate call in shows ask your congressional or presidential candidate what they would do.

Called on my cell phone.  "There's no problem with your credit card....blah blah blah."  I know there isn't!  Blocked now, but I'm sure they'll come up with another number because I've gotten other 503 calls.

No message left. Got calls like this before warning me about my credit card being delinquent. I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY CREDIT CARDS!!!! A**HOLES!

lower my credit card interest rates, but when I asked which ones the salesman hung up the phone.
