Yeh, people do miss payments(unexpected things do come up) like the economy or lose of wages, trying to take care of your family, etc. so lets call them and ask them if they have ever missed a payment and how are they dealing with the economy. Must be they don't understand that not everyone is rich and that we are in tough times. Got an email from these people a few days ago, sent them a response as to how much and when and they are still calling me at home and at work on the weekends, go figure! When I saw CSC/Sears I knew that it was someone looking for money from me. Good thing for caller ID cause I use it all the time.
Same pattern...They call cell, no message left. Immediately after they call home and when I answer, it's "dead air". . It's possible that this is an auto-dialer that was not/is not configured correctly. Instead of transferring us to the "next available agent", it is simply hanging up.
I just don't see what they would gain by calling and not saying anything...
This is ANOTHER WAMU number - we have gotten calls from 2 different FL numbers (this one and 321 549 3042), GA 770 240 0000, CA 619 471 0037 and 626 534 0250, TX 210 247 0026 and 817 256 9617, AZ 602 358 0120, AND PA 412 595 9025. They all show up as the state they are coming from. Very rarely is a message left (I think maybe 3-4 out of about 30 calls). We have 2 accounts but both were up to date. The one time we tried to call back it asks for your account number, but since we don't know who they are calling, we didn't enter a number. Shouldn't there be a way to stop them? They've even called on Sundays and Labor Day!!
I also get these calls. I have been out of work since Jan. I tell them that everytime i feel like answering the phone. I have found that the only way to stop the calls is to go online to your account and give them the information # then all they can do is send me letters. I just got a call a few moments ago thinking it was Sears, big mistake. Change your # on your account and the calls will stop within a day or two. Every day until 9pm est.
I only have a cell phone so it's quite easy to deal with these idiot phone calls. When a number comes in like this one, I run it through Google and when I find out it's WAMU or some other telemarketer, I add it to my contact list in the phone. Each contact is capable of holding four different numbers, so I assign the number to one of the open entries. So I have WAMU1, WAMU2 and so on. Then, I set all those contacts to SILENT on the ringtone. Not once have they ever left a message. The phone beeps, I check to see who called, see it was WAMU and get on with my day.
