I suggest that you:
A. DO NOT GIVE YOUR NAME TO THEM AT ALL. IT IS NOT THIER BUSINESS AND YOU HAVE NOT BUSINESS WITH THEM.
1. Talk to anyone who calls your number
2. keep a notebook
3. get the NAME of the person and ID#.
4. get the company name and information.
5. tell them that:
a. you are not the person they seek
b. you are on the DNC list.
c. They are to remove your number in any and all files and to notify the party that they got the number from that they are to remove this number form there files.
d. be sure and record the phone number it came from as well.
6. if they call again, ask for a suprvisor. Repeat 3-5 above.
a. if it happens again AFTER talking to a supervisor, then ONLY get the name and id number of the person and keep a log. You are only to tell them that they have already been warned not to call you and then hang up.
7. After say 5-7 calls, file a small claims suit against the named individuals at the company, using the company name and address for process of service. Be sure and file the names as JOHN DOE EMPOYEE OF XXX COMANY AKA NAME AND ID #, be sure and use ALL names that you talked to and informed that they have wrong person and you are on DNC. Remember that the INDIVIDUAL is responsible for making the call as well as the company. Hopefully the individual will cross file a comlaint against thier own company and then they will be technically against the company and will have to explain why the company is responsible for thier actions
8 File a spearate suit against the company. the suits can be combined later if the individuals crossfile against the company.
depending upon the state you live in or under federal law there is minimum damages compensation plus fines for the company. Always ask for both. The judge has the right to order the statutory fines as well as statutory damages and court costs.
Remember to file locally and in small claims. Most of these companies are out of state and think that they are untouchable.
When you get the court awards, ask the judge for an interstate order. Then file it in the county that the company is in. As the court there to collect it for you or how to colelct it. THe company can have funds from its accounts siezed. Be sure and file the award in the state and county the company is in. It will damage teh company's credit rating and business.
