if you owe them money  they will keep calling.  If not saying take me off should work and if they call back ask to speak to a manager and tell them you are filling charges they stop after that.  I have done it before

Answer the call and wait for a customer representative-  Ask immediately for the mailing address.  Tell them you perfer not to be called at that number. Follow up by sending them a letter stating when you plan to pay and to inform them they are not allowed to contact you at home no longer all correspondence should be in writing. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP A COPY OF THE LETTER IF THEY CONTACT YOU AGAIN IT IS HARASSMENT

I am not Canadian, but would assume each province has it's own laws.  I would send each agency a certified letter (or equivalent in Canada) with an explanation of the situation.  Inform them in this letter that you consider their harassment of you a violation of your personal rights.  If they do not stop, then I would first complain to the appropriate government agency.  If they do not help you, then I would retain an attorney.   A couple of years ago, I had a similar situation in which someone had the same name as I.  I could not get them to stop calling me. The crazy thing, it was over $19.95.  I put it stop to it by doing two things.  The called me from an "800" number.  So, I started calling them back and tying their personnel up on the phone ten or more times a day.  When they would call me, I would blow a whistle into the phone.  When they call people all day long, they wear a earpiece that fits into their ear.  The shrill whistle sound goes through them like a hot knife through butter.  They stopped the calls immediately.  Good luck with your problem!

Your number probably belonged to james oliver before or they got wrong number. To eliminate telemarketer's calls, go to http://www.donotcall.gov/ to register your numbers (free). It'll be good for 5 years.

The other person is right they blocked the call because they don't want you to no who is calling you. Also you can stop that to, by calling your phone company. They have a service that you can get and they won't be able to call you unless they unblock their number. This service cost a little more but some times it is worth it. I have it myself.

Make your number unlisted by contacting your local phone company.  Public search engines get all of their information from phone records, so if your number is unlisted, they won't have access to your info.\n\nThis is the only reliable way to remove yourself completely.

Get privacy manager. That usually stops the unwanted call. And if it doesn't they have to tell you who is calling. An operator comes on the phone and asks you if you want to accept the call or no. That has stopped a ton of unwanted calls at my house.

have you gone do donotcall.gov and filed a complaint yet?\n\nIf you want to get more information on your own about this company, you can act as though you're interested in what they're selling and get a phone number to reach them at and have them mail you a brochure.\n\nI also use a feature my phone company offers called Privacy Manager. This requires callers to display their caller ID or else they cannot reach me. You might see if this service is available to you.

THEY ARE LIKE TELEMARKETER CALLS AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.  I DON'T PAY MY PHONE BILL FOR THEIR BENEFIT.

Sue them. Some stranger who has no connection to you is harassing you and you don't know what to do? Stop being stupid. Get the name of the company, the caller, their address (if possible) and their phone number and Tell them the next time they call that if they call and harass you one more time you will contact a lawyer and begin court proceedings. They're bullying you and you're falling for it. They can't do a thing to you. You own them NOTHING so what can they do to you? Threaten to call a lawyer and the calls will stop PRONTO. Simple.\n\n--\nto hiseasy... what a dumb fcuking plan. Give them your home phone number. Great, now you're establishing a history of contact and initiating a dialogue that could cause a judge to question whether you have a real connection with the person their seeking. And your 300K claim sounds like bullshyt.\n\nNip this in the bud NOW. They have called you, personally, repeteadly, harrassed and threatened you. That's grounds for a lawsuit right there. You don't need to give them your home phone number to prove this. Only an idiot would do that. Give them personal info about you... real fcuking smart.\n\n--\nOk, sorry I called you stupid. But avoiding a lawsuit may not be possible. You're tried telling them not to call, right? did it work? didn't think so. You have to at least THREATEN to file a lawsuit. They're harassing you at work and you own them nothing. It's no different than some stranger off the street bothering you everyday while you go for coffee! C'mon, don't be ... silly. Talking nice to them and pleading with them to stop hasn't worked and is unnecessary. What if it never ends? You came here looking for answers. That's mine. And I'm not the only one who thinks that protecting yourself through the courts is the answers.

first you have to answer the phone and see who it is - that is the only way to know who is calling.  you can call your local phone company and get instructions on how to block private callers.
