Re: Getting harassed
I get a few from payday loan companys. Like you I owe nobody a penny.
Back in the day, when I bothered to speak to time wasters, after being pestered for weeks telling them the person they were seeking has never lived at this address I eventually got my number removed from there calling list.
Most other times, if anyone at all answered, it would be "Is so and so there" when I reply "No never heard of him" the caller hangs up. I then look up the callers number and it is always some loan company.
Now I do have a wayward offspring who in the past has tried and succeded in getting credit using my name or address so it may be down to him but that is the lenders problem not mine.
Anyway, these days I have a home phone with a call barring feature so after the initial call whether it be silent or not (most are) they get entered on the callers barred list. Usually there are 2 or 3 further attempts at contact after which they seem to give up.
Works for me, you will need caller ID enabled and a £50 home phone set. Mines a panasonic which has been superceded now but they still have models with the feature. Check out the panasonic range on amazon. I am well satisfied with mine and would recommend it if it was still available.
