Comments:
I would like to comment regarding the Do-Not-Call List. I am on this list. I feel that if your account with a creditor is closed then you should not have to receive their calls. However, if you are currently still doing business with a company, then you should be able to receive those calls. The calls that the public is complaining about is not the call from a company they are dealing with. Much of the time it is about people selling stuff over the phone. I personally would not mind speaking to say our credit card company, but would not want to speak to anyone trying to sell me something. I also feel that special offers from the same credit card companies that are offering their customers special deals should not be allowed. Bill reminders are not the same as telemarketing sales calls. If you cannot find a way to do both, then leave it as it currently is. Any loop hole you give the telemarketers is unacceptable. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Deb Bartholow
