Called, is David there? no my son's at work, I'll take a message, "this is a personal matter" who's calling him, "It's a personal matter we'll just call back" They didn't leave a name but I'm glad to know it was GE Money Bank, I already had the Interceptor ID so I won't hear them call again...
This is GE Money Bank - they are the parent company of CareCredit. If you fall behind on your bill they will call up to 20 times a day. A huge annoyance until I figured who they were. I fell behind because of missing work for two monthes due to medical. BUT when I answered the phone, told them what happened they cut my interest rate IN HALF and my minimum payment to a smaller amount. So if you are in a hardship, and have a card with them - answer!
Call to my cell phone. When I answered the call it was just dead silence so I disconnected. I called the number back and a voice recording said please wait on the line. There was no greeting identifying the company. I will be blocking this number on my cell.
They have called time and time again, I do not recognize the number and so I do not answer. They do NOT leave a message, but they DO continue to call - at least 5 or 6 times a day!! This is getting extremely annoying!!! I do not have any bills that are in collection, so there is NO reason for them to continue to call me!
Hey, you guys have the right to stop this harassment. YOU MUST call your carrier and set up a way to track the harassment. Even if you owe money, they cannot make those frequent calls, and many of you have them documented. Owing money does not give them the right to tie up your cell phone line or disrupt your work/job/business line.
TELL your carrier that you are getting out of country calls and you FEEL that they are dealing with ILLEGAL activity. I know, we can all just ignore the calls, but if we all complain collectively, perhaps they will have to disappear or face federal concerns.
Some of you have cell phones with voicemail. You can record the greeting for "busy or not answered calls" to an announcement -- any announcement - such as this call is being traced and reported to the Department of Homeland Security (and leave a long pause after the message). (Mine says that my phoneline does not accept blocked or annon calls.)
I have also set my cellphone to only accept calls when I press a button to accept the call. When I get blocked numbers or crap like GE Money, then I press the REJECT and it goes to the busy message. All other messages that ring and are not rejected just go to my regular voicemail.
And of course - sites like these really help, where it is consumers helping consumers. Since you know who these crap calls are coming from, you don't have to waste your cell phone minutes answering the calls and you get ideas on how to stop the harassment.
