[Vision2020] "Credit Card Services"

Thu Feb 24 09:45:32 PST 2011

These clowns can't handle keeping telemarketers on the straight and narrow and you want to turn twenty percent of the American economy over to them in the form of your health care?

"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."

It will be these same people, the folks who bought us the social security/medicaid debacle and yes the do not call legislation, who will be in charge of your chemotherapy, your heart bypass, and your hip replacement.

Think your angry and frustrated now?

  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&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.....
