calls numerous per day

In addition to the establishment of a national Do-Not-Call Registry, there are other amendments to the Commission's rules implementing the TCPA that may reduce the number of telemarketing calls to your home:

   If you subscribe to CALLER ID, you should know when a telemarketer is calling you: telemarketers are required to transmit Caller ID information and may not block their numbers.
   Telemarketers must ensure that predictive dialers abandon no more than three percent of all calls placed and answered by a person. A call will be considered "abandoned" if it is not transferred to a live sales agent within two seconds of the recipient's greeting. As a result, you are less likely to run to answer the phone only to find silence or the "click" of the calling party disconnecting the line.

In addition to these changes the rules provide:

   Telephone solicitation calls to your home before 8 am or after 9 pm are prohibited.
   Anyone making a telephone solicitation call to your home must provide his/her name, the name of the entity on whose behalf the call is being made, and a telephone number or address at which you may contact that entity.
   Company-specific do-not-call lists are available to consumers who wish to avoid telemarketing calls only from specific companies. For more information see our Unwanted Telephone Marketing Calls Guide.

How to Complain

Filing a Do-Not-Call Complaint

In addition to complaints alleging violations of the national do-not-call list, you may also file a complaint against a telemarketer who is calling for a commercial purpose (e.g., not charitable organizations) IF:

   The telemarketer calls before 8 AM or after 9 PM; OR
   The telemarketer leaves a message, but fails to leave a phone number that you can call to sign up for their company specific do-not-call list; OR
   You receive a telemarketing call from a company that you have previously requested not call you; OR
   The telemarketing firm fails to identify itself; OR
   You receive a pre-recorded commercial message from someone with whom you do not have an established business relationship and to whom you have not given permission to call you.

How to File a Complaint

You can file a complaint by telephone to 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) voice or 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) TTY, by fax to 1-866-418-0232, via our electronic complaint form, or mail. For the FCC to process your complaint you must either fill in the electronic form completely or otherwise indicate:

   your name and address;
   the home phone number where you received the solicitation;
   identification of the individual or company whose products or services were being advertised or sold, and any phone numbers included in the call;
   a description of the call;
   any phone number provided to allow you to “opt-out” of future calls;
   whether you or anyone else in your household gave the caller express prior permission to call;
   whether you have an EBR with the caller (specifically, whether you or anyone else in your household made any purchases of property, goods, or services from the company that called, or made any inquiry or filed an application with the company prior to receiving the call).

If mailing a complaint, send it to:

Federal Communications Commission
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau
Consumer Inquiries and Complaints Division
445 12th Street, SW
Washington, DC 20554

We recently got a new phone number and we receive a phone call every night around dinner time.  I answered it once and it was a recording.  Very annoying.  I've puour number on the do not call list as well as blocked it from our Comcast service.

Just file a complaint to help F.T.C., investigate and prosecute this unscrupulous
(scum of the earth) collectors, as harassment by repeated telephone calls is
breaking federal laws, go to the website: www.ftc.gov or call 1-877-382-4357.
Do not let this scum control or intimidate you.

We do not want to put our social security number into the phone.  They asked for this first.  We do not know who this is and we need to know!!..We are MAD!!!

Don't know but they keep calling and it is annoying
