This company Maritz Research, called, and said they were calling on behalf of Bank of America, and I told them if Bank of America had any questions they should call me directly, I do not speak with 3rd party callers.. and I am writing a letter to Bank of America, and suggesting if they want to do a survey of their services, they should do it themselves.. I know their customer service agents are recorded, so they can critique them that way, they do not need to hire 3rd parties, and I am upset to know they may have given my phone number to someone I do not know.. no wonder there is so much identify theft around if the banks give or sell your information.. guess they need extra cash to compensate for the mess they have created on Wall Street.
If you do business with a company they are allowed to contact you for the next 18 months, regardless if your phone number is registered with a State or Federal Do Not Call List......This is part of the Federal Law that was passed years ago to establish the Do Not Call List.
Since they are contracted by the Company you did business with, they are allowed to contact you for the next 18 months after your transaction with the Company that they work for....
Though they do have a 1-800 number that you can call to have your phone number placed within their Internal Do Not Call List....Just call back the number that called you and the message will tell you everything you need.
