I got a call again today from a Credit card company offering to lower my interest rate. I stayed on the line this time to inquire which card they were talking about. He couldn't give me any specific info so I informed him we don't carry balances so a lower rate doesn't interest (see what I did there?) me! I asked him to take my number off his call list. Imagine my shock when he said "you know, you don't get anything for nothing, and are you willing to pay the $690 for removing your name?" WHAT? I don't owe anyone $690, said I. And again he told me that was the charge for removing my name. So...not only don't I remember, but I could hardly type what I said next...it went something like this "&&%$##!!!! $$#%%**, you get my drift. So much for the no call list. I know Centurylink has a service to which you can add the most annoying callers to and they will block them, but I'm not sure if there's a charge for that, so back to my pick up and hang up routine, I guess. Silly me for even trying.
