They call three times a day offering a credit card, even on the weekend. I have not applied for credit, have one credit card (dental). Is there any way to block my number from them?

Call the paper credit card offers "opt out" on the back of offer. There are numbers listed in very small fine print. You call the number, generally automated and take your name off of the list for that particular credit card company offer. As far as the calls, they do by law have to provide you with a number in which you can call to get off of there calling list. Also, none of these credit card offers show up on your credit report other than an offer was extended to you. The credit card companies only have access to a minimum amount of information about you. When you receive anymore of the paper offers call the back immediately. I had the same problem. It takes about 30 days to get off their list as they continue to generate the same junk mailings to you. Good luck, being bombarded with this crap really sucks. I know, I had to call over four companies offering me this offer. What a pain! Your do not call list should also take care if it, remember, if you already have established an account, they CAN call you.

Besides using the national do not call registry, you can write them a letter, be sure to date it and sign it, telling them to remove your name from their mailing list and instruct them to not sell or give your information to other businesses for promotional material distribution. Make sure you keep a copy of it and allow sufficient time for them to process..then if you keep hearing from them you can file a complaint against them.
If your number has been on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days (starting January 1, 2005) and you receive a call from a telemarketer that you believe is covered by the National Do Not Call Registry, you can file a complaint at the registry’s website at www.donotcall.gov or by calling the registry’s toll-free number at 1-888-382-1222 (for TTY, call 1-866-290-4236). To file a complaint, you must know either the name or telephone number of the company that called you, and the date the company called you.

Yes. There is a national "do not call" list. Get your name and phone number on the list. Check with your state's consumer protection agency or Attorney General's office to see if your state has a "do not call" list. If so, get your name on it.

There is a federal "no call" list. You can put your name on it via email and that should stop the phone calls. If they continue to call, the caller could face a fine.
