We've all pulled an advertisement or two out of our mailbox from an extended car warranty company but must be too many people are tossing them away because now these companies have moved to hounded us on the phone.
They're pressuring you big time for your business but if you're on the Do not call list, they're breaking the law!
If you're not interested in one of their warranties, ask to be taken off their calling list. If they persist, keep track of how often they call you, from what number and any other information you can collect about them and file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov)
If you can't get through to a live person, trying to press the right buttons, is probably more frustration then it's worth.
So, how do these companies get your contact information? It could come from a variety of sources.. DMV records, lease or purchase information, other companies that you do business with. Bottom line, they have a product to sell, so if they know you're not interested it's not in their best interest to keep calling. Make it clear from the first phone call, you're not buying the warranty.
