Isn't the county were you got the ticket supposed to send you a letter first if you didn't pay??? These jerks have been calling my house too! We don't have ANY tickets & aren't in debt so i have no idea who the heck these P.I.T.A. are or why they keep harassing my family. This BS has GOT to stop! Why isn't someone doing something about these people?!! I am being victimized & harassed by these scammers & our lovely govt doesn't give a crap. Their DO NOT CALL registry is nothing but a joke!
Reading these comments makes me wonder how our society has progressed this far....
Folks, these calls aren't made out of the blue - there is a reason why they contact you, and it's tied to either you personally, your address or your phone number (cell or landline - remember, someone else had that number before you too).
They contacted me, and through a little independent thought (remember that?) I figured out it that they were looking for the former owner of my home - so i provided the City where they were heading off to when they sold me the property, and suggested they track them down there (another state)...needless to say, the calls have ceased.
They are not jerks, they are doing their jobs (if you had one, you'd know how touch it is to deal with people like yourselves) - stop cursing long enough to figure this out.
Society has degenerated into a cesspool because people don't care anymore. These telemarketers know they can pretty much get away w/whatever they want (& don't even go there about these "laws" against them. They might work in some states but they're useless here). This paves the way for all sorts of nefarious folks to use the phone as a means to pull their scams - because it's harder to track them down when they use different numbers from different places; & who has the time/money to keep pursuing these scammers? In regards to your remarks: We are the org owners of the house. If this is a legitimate company, they shouldn't hang up when someone answers or hang up on the machine. The few times we DID get a person, we politely tried to correct their flawed info & even tried to help them locate the person they were looking for in the chance that they would stop calling is. BIG MISTAKE! It didn't make one difference - they still keep calling & harassing us for the same info. Yes, your theory about them worked for you but unfortunately that's not the case here - so please don't make assumptions about people/things when you don't have all the facts pertaining to such. We have tried everything the state told us to do to get these people to stop & NOTHING has worked. What these people are doing is illegal & it is a form of harassment. My apologies if my language from before offended you (wasn't meant to - just don't appreciate being harassed from 6 different numbers from the same company 4-5xs a day for the past 2 yrs with no way to make it stop). Perhaps you can handle such better but it's driving my family crazy. We feel helpless because everything we've tried to do has failed. So pardon me if i'm a little p.o.'ed. I have every right to be, esp since my family has done NOTHING to warrant this treatment - & i don't think i'm alone in feeling this way.
