National Do Not Call List.
The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls at home. Most telemarketers should not call your number once it has been on the registry for 31 days. If they do, you can file a complaint at this Website. You can register your home or mobile phone for free. Your registration will be effective for five years.
You can also get rid of those telemarketing phone calls and eliminate junk mail by writing to the following addresses:
Telephone Preference Service
c/o Direct Marketing Association
PO Box 9014
Farmingdale, New York, 11735-9014 (include your name, address, & phone number)
Mail Preference Service
c/o Direct Marketing Association
P.O. Box 9008
Farmingdale, NY 11735-9008
To get off telemarketing lists (Ga. only) call 877-GA-NOCALL
If you still have problems, call the complaint line at 404-657-7544
