I am not pleased.  The harassment from this company is annoying, and must end.  I am going to file a formal complaint with Sears, in the hopes that if enough of us voice displeasure over this that they will reconsider sharing our phone numbers with this company.  Oh, and of course my new Sears card is about to be sliced into bits and mailed to them with the complaint.

I keep getting an annoying automated sales message from these people. When I call to get my number off the list, it only releives me for a few months... this is the third time I deal with it and I am getting very annoyed. When I call the operator, they say nothing can be done. When I call my cell phone company, they say the number can not be blocked because they are not on the same provider. I have no other options. What am I to do?How is this allowed, and why can I not do anything... so pissed off!!!

The idea behind a call to your number and nobody being there is that it is a computer controlled by telemarketing software calling to record whether a person answers or not. They plot this information vs time of day and then use it to tell their real telemarketers what time it is best to call to have a better chance of reaching you.

The naive part is that you're ready to #@$%&! by the time they do.

So here's the next chapter...

Sears Customers Service has replied to my written claim by giving me another number (The same as I tried yesterday) to call to cease all phone solicitation from Sears. (Elizabeth was right) These people have been given my information so not sure how unprecedented calls would be handled, but I think quite well. (Everybody try this)

Sears Customer Advocacy Department
1-+1 866-491-2247

I still have the concern that this disreputable Marketing Company (Not Sears) still has my info, and yes, they and 3 other telemarketers have thought of us at home again today...

Will try the number and see what happens.

In summary, the best way to get rid of these a$$holes (Yes, they have earned it.) is to prevent them from calling in the first place;

-> If completing any application, be sure to check for a field stating "Allow us or our partners inform you of offers, etc." and be sure to indicate your preference. (You don't get this option at renewal!)
-> Check the Cardholder Agreements for any information related to use of your contact information and especially any "Opt Out" possibilities. (Do again when renewing)
-> Call 1-+1 800-661-6626 and request "No solicitation" and "Do not share my contact information with anyone" (JP Morgan Chase Financial Corp)
-> Call 1-+1 866-491-2247 (Sears. Needs to be verified with experience.)

All along the way, be sure to tell the people you deal with that while you know it is not them personally, you do not like unrequested calls especially with the disturbing frequency and fact nobody is on the line at home or cell and that you dislike and will not deal with the businesses doing so and possibly their partners as well. Be sure to mention the company name Canada Premier Life Insurance as one who routinely and persistently over time engages in this unprofessional practice. It is a shame to see such a company with Canada in their name. Their practice tries to degrade our great country's name.

If we tell the people who matter most, this unprofessional practice will cease. We don't tolerate people not treating others as they would like to be treated here...

Good Luck,
Mike

there's what I sent to PRIME Life Insurance.Good day, as you will see in the Forum below I?m not the only one that have the problem.  I?ve received these calls for over 2 months now sometimes 8 time a day.  If you could do something about it would be very appreciated.  If it?s not something that you have control over it, well I think you should start to be concern about it because with internet today you can end up having a really bad publicity for your company.Thanks,  MerciGary from Edmonton Garison.(519) 346-2517Got a call from (519) 346-2517?
