I think I know where the number is coming from and I would be happy to join a group that wants to put these guys out of business.
I am hard working entrepreneur. I have been in business on my own and with small groups of partners for over 28 years. 2006 and 2007 were bad, but nothing came as quite a blow as 2008. With the news of Lehman Brothers crashing came the downfall of over 35,000 businesses, and with it hundreds of thousands of personal lives.
I was fortunate. I lost everything I ever had. My home of thirty years, where I raised my family was lost; everything I had ever invested in was gone; credit card debt became my only "property" and it was a negative $200,000.
I have managed to drive the balances down on my credit card debt to just over $87,000. I was fortunate.
When such a large community of people suddenly display a need, the blood-suckers will surface.
As I mentioned, I lost my home. My wife and I are currently staying with my daughter, who has entered her home phone number, several times, on the National Do-Not-Call list.
Since I began notifying banks, creditors and doctors of my address change, I have only given my cell phone as my primary contact.
The calls started several months ago. First it was at dinner on a week-night. The call came in to my daughters home and the caller asked for me. I was clearly angry that any solicitor would have my daughters phone number, when I clearly, never gave it to anyone. I made myself understood that I was not interested in the "DebtLogicUSA.com plan for recovering from financial failure". I asked the caller not to call this number again and I hung up.
The calls come in regularly now, with one more insulting solicitor after another, all selling the same service, for the same company DebtLogic.com.
Tonight's call was particularly interesting, in that I asked for a phone number to call him back. Actually, I asked for his daughters number and he gave me the number 212-479-7990. Then he proceeded to name my daughter and my daughters children by name. He was rude, condescending and disrespectful.
My cell phone and my daughters home phone are both on the National Do-Not-Call list and these snakes seem to ignore it completely.
I am now getting mailings (postal) about twice a month from the same company.
The phone number belongs to DebtLogicUSA.com
So, now what?
