they keep calling

Several phone calls daily and weekly with no message.

Caller calls several times a day starting sometimes before 8:00am and after 10:00pm. I have answered with no reply - just silence. It is every day at all times. My husband is 82 years old and this is very disturbing to him as well as me. I have put all calls on DO NOT CALL LIST, but to no avail. PLEASE help me stop these calls.

i have never given my cell phone number out. i just got it in march 2011. they filled up my voicemail on hold twice when i left my cell phone off. if i reject they dont leave message. and i start my outgoing meassage with SIT tones.

i think, according to the FDCPA, it is illegal for debt collectors to call cell phones as it makes the amount owed higher having to spend cell phone $. basically it is making the debt more without going through proper legal channels, which is a no no. so thell them they are calling a cell phone and you think they are in violation of FDCPA.

btw
Once a debt passes beyond the statute of limitation in your state, a debt collector no longer has the right to sue you for payment. You may still have a moral obligation to pay back an old, forgotten debt, but you can't be sued over it. Any debt collector who threatens to sue you over a debt that is beyond the statute of limitation in your state is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
