I have never heard of NACA or signed up for any information from them and I'm on the DNC list (for what it's worth). Considering the leave a 2 minute recorded voice mail, they could include info on opting-out. There was no opt-out info on my recording and no info on their website. Their site is www.naca.com and I tweeted them at @NACAEvents asking how to get off the list. SO annoying!
I saw all the BBB complaints from people wanting their calls to stop and below is their canned response to each... Doesn't even include how to get off their list. Just sounds like "tough, we can call you so we are going to".

"Business Response: NACA is the nation’s largest HUD certified housing counseling agency and as a 501c(4) organization, NACA is exempt from the restrictions of the national Do Not Call Registry under the exceptions granted in the Do-Not-Call Implementation Act of 2003.
To date, NACA has conducted 100 of our Save the Dream and American Dream events across the country over the past four and a half years, resulting in hundreds of thousands of homes being saved from foreclosure and putting billions of dollars back in the hands of American homeowners, all while helping stabilize and rebuild the American economy. Additionally, all of our services are completely free of charge.
Because of the critical nature of our mission, we must use every resource at our disposal to inform the public about our services and only make such calls to inform the community when we are conducting one of our American Dream events in a given area.
We regret that you found the call disturbing, but please understand that the calls are legitimate, well within the boundaries of the law and a necessary tool in making sure that everyone who is in need of our services is aware of the opportunity available to them.
I reported to the FCC today about this number. I don't know what software they're using, but it tied up my phone when I tried to hang up on it (twice, no less!) and that irritates me NO END--who do they think they are?? This unnecessary pseudo mortgage idiocy (yes, my house is paid off) left 2 messages, too. UGH. Go online or call the FCC at 888-382-1222 and register your complaint against these unethical, illegal robocalls.
I just received a call from these guys moments ago and the message was talking about a seminar they are having in my area offering programs to help home owners like me reduce the interest rate on my home loan, which struck me as odd since my home has been paid for 30+ years now. To call me out the blue is the same thing telemarketers and scammers do, so I am putting them in that category regardless if they are legit or not. If they are as legit as some of you as stated on this board, then why are they calling me offering assistance on a mortgage I do not have? Why not target those that they can help? This was the first call I received from these idiots, and it is my last because they have been blocked!
