I get calls from them all the time. I've reported them numerous times but they don't stop. I've talked to them and told them to stop, but they stop for about 2-3 months and start back up again. I don't owe them crap and when I talk to them to get their info they ask why and I say "because I want to send the info to my lawyer" they immediately hang up. They basically are scammers. I've even change my number numerous times and they eventually find it and continue. My numbers aren't even listed. It sucks cause I give my lawyer all of the numbers (and I have to pay for his service) that call he calls them but never gets a response. He sends letters to First Financial and gets letters stating they apologize and will look into it but they still continue. My lawyer said that since 15 years ago I had an account with them (or a company that was owned or bought out by them) that they can still use that as a reason to call even if I don't owe them anything or even if I no longer want to do business with them (its some stupid clause or something that states that, regardless of time, if at some point you did business with them they can contact you for whatever reason as long as they don't do it X amount of times in a X amount of time-frame...totally baloney). That's why they stop and call from a billion different numbers because it technically does not count if different "offices" call you. We need to get our government to do something about this, to bad they are just as inept. I'm just glad that I have a unlimited calling plan so I'm not paying for the calls, nowadays its just more annoying then anything though. If you have problems like this unfortunately there is not much else you can do but what your doing right now. Good luck everyone, too bad this bank didn't fold like some others during the banking meltdown...I hope they do though in the future.
