| Re: Don't think it'll work... I've filed at least 50 complaints through the system, and I still get calls from every thing from companies representing other companies that state 'its not being enforced' when I tell them I'm on the Do Not Call list, or 'have never heard of it' or 'I don't have that list'.
If I took every telemarketer that has called over the last couple of years to court, I'd never leave the court room.

If you honestly had that many complaints, then you should have been logging times/dates/names and filing suit in Small Claims Court. You'd have a really nice chunka change right now because 50 complaints x $1,000.00 for each infraction adds up. But, presumably you didn't bother so you lost out.
And you could have consolidated all those complaints in court. If you had the appropriate documentation and completed the appropriate legal forms correctly, you could have made off nicely with a lotta money in a single afternoon.

| We wrote to the two addresses and request to be removed from all lists. We get almost no junk mail.
We also signed up for the Do Not Call list as soon as it came out--both federal and state. We get almost no telemarketing calls. Remember: Political, non-profits and prior business relationships are exempt.
I would say about once per quarter, we get a illegal call. We inform them we are on the do-not-call lists and to please remove our name for their list. So far that has worked very well.
To file a complaint and worse to take the company to court is beyond what I have time for. If a company still called back after being told not to, I would probably pursue that. But honestly, it just hasn't been necessary.
