Calling creditors?
I have someone (who I believe is either a creditor or telemarketer) calling my home and just hanging up. Many times a day. On the average of 2 to 3 times an hour. Even when I pick up they often hang up. Is this considered harassment?
Answer:
yes
i also get this alot, what it is, is that the office is in another country so it takes a long time to connect, sometimes it just goes dead anyway cause its lost connection. its not harressment, its just annoying that they have half their telephone operators in another country!
yeah but for what would they wanna hang up for? seems to me it is just a bad phone connection,
Maybe it is a wrong number
Call the number back and tell them to take you off their calling list. If it is a creditor, tell them that you cannot be reached at that number and please stop calling. If they agree to this and continue to call, you have a harassment case, my friend! Good luck!
call the phone company, I was told that when the telemarketers call, when someone answers they transfer your number to another telemarketer, save the number and give it to the phone company, maybe they can put a block on it, the phone co. also said when you answer, say hello just 1 time, no response, then hang up
It is probably a robot telemarketer: They dial numbers in sequence; if someone answer they switch to the pitchman. If no one is available on their end it just drops the call & will re-dial every 15 minutes or so. Every time you pick up it registers that someone has picked up & that way you are sure to increase the number of calls you get. Unless you are on your state's or Federal "do not call" list it is legal. The only way out is to stop answering your phone & work out a way to get the calls you want.
they have a dialing system that dials a few numbers at the same time. for example, the person who is trying call would key in 3 telephone numbers of three different people at a time.when someone picks up the phone 1st (including reaching a voice message),automaticly the line with the other 2 parties gets disconnected.it works this way for most creditors call system.
no matter where u are calling from,& where the call has been routed to does not make a difference.if it does, even the internet would be slow to access
