I got one mortgage company pretty good. They called me with a recorded
message and left a telephone number to call if I was interested. I
called the number and left my telephone number. When they called back,
I acted as if I was interested in refinancing, got the name and
address of the company out of the literature they sent me, reported
them to the DNCL then called them back and told them what I had done
and hoped that they got the shit fined out of them. They asked me why
I just didn't ask them to be taken off their list and I told them
because of the sneaky tactics they used in trying to get around the
DNC rules and for being too lazy by not using the DNCL. Ya know what?
They said that they weren't even aware that there was such a thing as
the DNCL. Imagine that! Afterwards I was glad I did what I did. I
didn't believe them because they would not give me the name of their
company over the telephone and when I pressed them they gave me a
name. But when I got the literature and forms to fill out for a loan,
it was a completely different name.
