These calls are coming from an automated dialer that will transfer you to a person when you pick up IF A REPRESENTATIVE is available (the "click" you hear), otherwise the (computer) dialer will hang up and try again later. They make more calls than there are generally representatives available which explains the hangups. If you get a person tell them to take you off their call list. Otherwise, the donotcall registry and an unlisted number will not help you since your all your mortgage info is public record information. The best you can do is call YOUR mortgage company and give them all the info and hope they act in your behalf after they get enough people complaining. The only good news is to tell your mortgage company to stop the US mail solicitations from other mortgage copmanies, and they will "opt out" your name from that list. This doesn't help with the phone calls. Also, just to add to your day, companies can buy a list of "unlisted" phone numbers, legally. Welcome to the "age of information". (I got this information from the tech suppost at my mortgage compnay and my bank.)
