What is the name of your state? PA
Is there anything I can do to stop getting calls (about 10 a day) from collection agencies that aren't for me? We've gotten a new tel number in December and it seems that the people who had that number before owe a lot of money because the phone has been ringing constantly. As soon as I explain to one person that we have no idea who these people are, the next person calls. I even included this info in our answering machine greeting and it helped a little, but a lot of calls are either automatically dialed or they simply don't believe it.
Recently the woman who had my number before ordered some service and billed it to my number! I already spoke to the company and they agreed to give me a credit but this is going too far. I've had a third party billing block and a password put on my account but this is annoying!
I am fed up with it and if I can't stop it, I'll have to change my phone number.
Anything else I can do?
