[Vision2020] "Credit Card Services"

Wed Feb 23 23:04:36 PST 2011

Like Wayne, we've been on the Do Not Call Registry since its inception (we
registered 6/28/2003), yet pre-recorded robo-calls from "Rachel with Card
Services" has been calling us once or twice a month for 2-3 years in spite
of the fact that we don't have "at least $5000" in credit card debt that's
the amount they're interested in, apparently - yes, I, too, have played the
fishing game with them.

And, I - along with probably thousands, if not tens of thousands of people
sick of being harassed - have faithfully filed detailed complaints each &
every time we've gotten the robo-calls from "Card Services."  Not only have
I faithfully filed the complaint forms with the Do Not Call Registry, I also
regularly fill out this FCC complaint form each & every time:

http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm?sid=d1e37
<http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm?sid=d1e37&id=d1e60> &id=d1e60

Fat lot of good it's ever done.

To me, this is just another example of how far behind technology advances
privacy & consumer protection laws have been allowed to fall because those
with the power to STOP this kind of crap don't care about we-the-people . .
. they are in the pockets of those whose financial interest it's in to keep
those loopholes open & enforcement of even anemic provisions non-existent.

With junk postal mail, at least the direct marketers are footing the bill
for annoying me & they don't interrupt meals, sleep, visitors, gardening,
and all kinds of other activities of life, and they sure don't verbally
abuse me the way the "representatives" of "Card Services" do when I ask in
vain for the thousandth time to be removed from their damn call list.  With
these slimy telemarketers, they are taking advantage of a service I pay for
my personal convenience as a way to harass me with impunity day & night.
Only in a country where greed and corporate interests are more important
than the rights of individual consumers would such lunacy be allowed and
even advocated by those we elect.  It's disgusting, pure & simple.

Has anyone else had the repeated pleasure of phone calls from "Credit Card
Services"?  I've had several, usually from "Rachel", who proceeds to tell me
or my answering machine that "while there's nothing wrong with your account
right now, it's "urgent" that you contact us right away for better interest
rates".......which is the point where I always rudely hang up on poor
"Rachel".  I probably got my first call at least a year ago, and have
received about a dozen since. It's an obvious scam designed to bilk more
gullible folk into giving out there bank and account number.  How do these
people get away with this stuff?  This is a rhetorical question.....
