I received the same call today with the same credit card, final notice, blah, blah, blah. I, too, pressed 9, was connected with some girl who kept calling me "hon", and I asked why she was able to call me when I was on the do not call list. She told me that it wasn't her department, but that she could help me lower my interest rates. I told her that I didn't understand why she could call me, she said that she helps lower Visa and Mastercard rates. I asked her if she was representing Visa & MC, she said no, but that she was trying to do me a service. I asked her if they trained her to call people "hon." She said no, but that she didn't know my name, and had to have something to call me. I told her she should try ma'am. I asked her if she could put me on their do not call list, she again told me that it wasn't her department, I asked her if she could transfer me to someone that could. And then she hung up on me. Surprise, surprise, surprise. I tried to call the number back that came up on caller ID and it was disconnected. I filed a complaint with the national do not call registry.
