its not even for anyone that lives or has lived in my house. its for my stupid cousin who moved to atlanta like 15 years ago. is there is any law that stops these phone calls or should I just give up her contact info? ---

After they call \*69 the number then google it on the web to see what company it is. Use the link aboove and file a complaint with the district attorney. More then likely you will need to send a letter to the company calling you saying you have no contact and to stop calling or furthur actions will be taken. I had the same problem with 2 companies calling for an X gf that lived here. Filed with the district attorney and i havent heard from them since. ---

did you tell them she doesnt live there and has never lived there before? tell them never to call you again. they should put a do not call block on your phone number. you can also tell them not to write you anymore either. then they are not allowed to call you or write sooo then you can only get legal forms about it. eventually, it will be sold from a collection agency to a law firm and you’ll get a summons in the mail for her. don’t quote me. but that is how it works in jersey where i work. ---

Tell them you are recording it. Tell them to never call you, it’s called a “cease and desist.” > **[Cease and desist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cease_and_desist)** > > A cease and desist letter is a document sent by one party, often a business, to warn another party that they believe the other party is committing an unlawful act, such as copyright infringement, and that they will take legal action if the other party continues the alleged unlawful activity. The letter may warn that, if the recipient does not discontinue specified conduct, or take certain actions, by deadlines set in the letter, the letter's recipient may be sued. The phrase "cease and desi Alt... You can fuck them over like that. Throw in things like “I feel that you guys are harassing me, if you call me again, I’m going to sue you for harassment.” ---

Simply say do not call me ever again. And if you really want to be serious, send a cease and desist letter to the company. If they don’t stop, profit. ---
