I've ironically just received the Sears Card Package. In there are Cardholder Agreements from JP Morgan Chase Bank. One of those is the Privacy Policy. In the Privacy Policy it is stated our contact information can be used for marketing, etc. but we are provided with the option to 'Opt Out'.

This is done by calling 1-+1 866-661-6626. I've just done so and here is my experience;

-> Pleasant and knowledgeable individual named Elizabeth answered.
-> Asked standard security questions such as card number, etc.
-> Asked me what the nature of the call is. I stated I'd reviewed the cardholder and privacy agreements and wanted to Opt Out of consent to use my information for marketing purposes.
-> She said she can help but I will also have to call another number (1-+1 866-491-2247) which is for Sears Marketing.
-> She further said she has placed the following notes onto my account
---> Do not solicit
---> Do not forward personal information

She stated this takes affect immediately.

She then asked if there was anything else I needed to which I thanked her and said that's it.

I then called 1-+1 866-491-2247 and after 14 rings there was no answer.

So this dealing was on the level, but I still have the following isues;

-> Calling multiple times daily, or more than once per week to solicit to a specific home is morally incorrect, disruptive, ignorant of the person's potential situation and rude, regardless of any policies, optouts. Such a company cannot achieve 'reputable' status.
-> My information has already been forwarded to this partner - so this I expect will not affect the calls I am currently receiving.
-> Still have the unresolved issue of contacting the second 'Sears Marketing' number.

I hope this information can help others. It would be one thing to mute the ringer, but what if a friend or relative in need calls in an emergency situation? These telemarketing people ought to open their minds to the annoyance, stress, and potential indirect interference in an emergency situation they can cause.

To all telemarketing managers: If we have a need, we will research all providers with criteria we favour, select a group to contact, and deal with the one we prefer. I will Never purchase any service based on telemarketing calls and the action will discredit the calling business and all it's partners. I've heard some say "I have to eat too" to which my reply is: Not at the harassment of others. There are other ways my friends and ways which allow you to sleep better at night...

I am also receiving relentless phone calls from this number.  They never leave a message and I see from my caller ID that they call everyday sometimes twice a day.  I am getting really sick of this.  I recently got a sears card and I can tell you right now that I am getting rid of it.  Nothing is worth this harrassment!!

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,  Merci
Gary from Edmonton Garison.

I checked the government web sites, and found info on what the telemarketing companies are allowed, and what we can do to have it stopped. The web site is
http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/INFO_SHT/t1022.htm. The CTRC is the organization responsible for regulating these guys. There is some useful information here, unfortunately it will still take up to 30 days to get them to stop calling you (via 1-+1 866-449-4430). Good Luck!

I am glad I'm not the only one getting talked by this number.  They call 4 times in an hour some days.  I refuse to answer it as they never leave messages.  I do shift work so it is very frustration running for the phone during my time off.  Thanks for doing the research.

We have been harrashed by the caller of the following phone-number (519) 346-2517 several times a day for several weeks , and when your elderly wife has a heart condition and requires some sort of tranquility , this is very disturbing , annoying , and downright terroristic in nature ! When the offered number +1 866-449-4430 is offered to register for unlisting , I question the genuine consideration of the people providing same ! Why would they call several times a day to begin with , if they in fact don't intent to talk to you when you do pick up . There's something seriously wrong with a society that allows their citizens to be terrorized in this manner without some sort of retribution for the perpotrators .

I finally had someone answer and he said they would put me on the DNC list.But I asked for a follow up number, he told me they were employed by the NCO Group.I found a number local to me from Google.(905) 819-4270.You can google a number from your area.

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 Department1-+1 866-491-2247I 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

I have no idea who is calling from this number and would like the calls to stop
