do not call list


What is the name of your state? az

Another Question for my mom "

My question deals with the do not call list the lower part states caveat: (copy included) can I just tell them not to call me as stated here or does it Have to be in writting (not state as so here) ?



The National Do Not Call Registry applies to any plan, program or campaign to sell goods or services through interstate phone calls. This includes telemarketers who solicit consumers, often on behalf of third party sellers. It also includes sellers who provide, offer to provide, or arrange to provide goods or services to consumers in exchange for payment.

The National Do Not Call Registry does not limit calls by political organizations, charities or telephone surveyors.



What about an established business relationship?
A telemarketer or seller may call a consumer with whom it has an established business relationship for up to 18 months after the consumer's last purchase, delivery, or payment - even if the consumer's number is on the National Do Not Call Registry. In addition, a company may call a consumer for up to three months after the consumer makes an inquiry or submits an application to the company. And if a consumer has given a company written permission, the company may call even if the consumer's number is on the National Do Not Call Registry.

One caveat: if a consumer asks a company not to call, the company may not call, even if there is an established business relationship. Indeed, a company may not call a consumer - regardless of whether the consumer's number is on the registry - if the consumer has asked to be put on the company's own do not call list.

The national Do not Call list isn't going to work on Collection Agencies, unfortunately.

How old is the debt that ACS ( a bunch of panty-waisted chimps, IMO) is calling your parents about ?? SOL in AZ for credit cards is a mere 3 years. So, if the last payment to the original creditor was more than 3 years ago, they can safely tell ACS to pound sand in the AZ desert !!

I sent validation letters to ACS.. they disappeared after that. They want easy victims, not someone who is going to put up a fight !
