Good job getting rid of them and Congrats on having no outstanding bad debt.
I dont understand how the rules work, but you didnt do anything wrong at all, but if you didnt call them back and challenge them on it, they would have kept calling you for a very long time, or until their robo caller malfunctioned.
It sure would be nice if the CAs had to go through some kind of 'approval test' before they could call your number. Basically, they are fishing for a phone number for a person they are looking for and you happen to be close to one criteria, so they call you.
When they call and ask for someone that doesnt live here with a 'can I speak to Johnathon please?" I like to say 'sure ... If you call the right number, and this isnt the right number'.
I always make it clear with 'and dont call again, that person is not here and will never be here, you have the wrong number'. Usually it works, but sometimes I still get 2 and 3 more attempts. One time recently I had a call every day of the week with a different voice asking for the same person that had never lived here. Finally stopped when I said wrong number 5 times.
