For the past few months I have been bugged by automated telemarketers with
spiels starting with "This is an important message regarding your credit card"
and a similar one about my expiring auto warranty. We are on the "do not call
registry" so these shouldn't happen. I have responded a couple times to give
them hell but didn't get a human to rant to. Is there some recourse to these
jerks?

I have been getting the same receorded meesage for past months. "This
is an important message regarding your current credit card account.
We have made several attempts to reach you. This is your final
courtesy call before we are unable to lower your credit card interest
rate. Press 1 to speak to a member services department or press 2 and
your eligibility will expire." I have pressed 1 in the past in an
attempt to get the company name or phone #. Told service
representative not to call me anymore because I'm on the do not call
list, so representative hung up on me. Another time I asked to call
them back with a phone #, rep did not give a call back #. Credit
services may be a false name. This same recorded message still keep
on calling my home phone. I have pressed 2 before with no end in
this recorded message. I need to get at least a real company name or
phone # for do not call complaint to have a chance to be effective.

I had another such call this morning, but whether it was in fact from
the same telemarketer as the previous calls I have no idea. I selected
the option to speak to a representative, who told me her name and asked
for my phone number. I gave it to her and immediately said that I had
chosen to speak to a human being because I did not want them to call me
ever again. She replied that they would put me on the Do Not Call list.
Time will tell. I'll have to make a note of the number: (305) 836-7371,
which appears to be in Florida; is that the same number from which
others have received calls?
