kudos:1 | Most are already illegal. If they ignored the earlier restrictions, they are surely going to ignore these. |

No matter what you say, they don't stop. Reporting the violation to DoNotCall (if you can manage to find out where the call came from), I've never found does any good. Come September 1st, I don't expect anything to change. |

kudos:1 | Well, now. Carpet cleaners.
You could book an appointment, assuming they will do that without a credit card. When they show up, take a couple of photos and let them know you are suing them in small claims.
You would also have a name to report to the state attorney general and the FCC. |

Unfortunately the DoNotCall list provisions don't allow you to sue. The company can be fined by the government, but you won't get a dime.

| In addition, you could pursue it in small claims court for harassment for $5,000.
[While the politicians may have wrote themselves an exemption in the DNC requirements, they are not exempt from getting sued for harassment- if they call multiple times. ] |
