| Ever get those "Carpet Cleaner" calls? We get them about once a month or so.... turns out they were actually allowed to do that because of some loophole in the wall that allowed them to call if YOUR ADDRESS had done prior business with them. Apparantly, if your LAND LORD cleans all the carpets before you move in, the carper cleaner in question is somehow allowed to keep that address, later put it in a search engine, find the matching phone number, and add you to their auto-call list.

Anderson, SC | It doesn't matter who the landlord is of a particular residence. If the phone is in your name they can't call you. So unless your phones (cell or landline) are in your landlords name. Or for some even odder reason are listed along with yourself on your phone accounts. So that when the phone bill comes both your names are on it then they cannot call you. If some business told you that they were feeding you a turd sandwich. Believe me I've had businesses (A local carpet cleaners) try that with me and I've reported them to the FTC.

Once on the list, standard rules apply. Change your address, name on the account, carrier, etc. and the number is free'd from the list and it has/must to be relisted again.
It has nothing to do with the address specifically. |
