    I have a new phone #, only 2 months and a company name Contact America
    ( They do calling for mortgage and credit card company's, when you
    dont pay up, from what they told me) calls me three times a day(not a
    machine) since getting new #. cntacted them twice to tell them The
    person they are looking for nolonger has this #! and the jerks still
    call they say nothing and hang up. I told them I dont have a credit
    card or a mortgage, my home is paid for and they still call. The phone
    company said to call the do not call list and for money they will take
    me off, or to block the call. Well with the calls I get for this
    Hererra, family it would take more than the 12 #'s they give you for
    the block. they owe every one, and get calls for really low credit
    card stuff. Help!!! any Ideas?
