I don't think you can do that. I had that problem, and just turned into a complete ass to them when they called. File a complaint with the FCC, FTC, whoever else. Let these guys know that you filed, and that they are NOT supposed to call your cell phone. Threaten legal action. They'll stop.

I occasionally get a collection company calling for some dude name Jose Gomez Romeo....or maybe its Jesus Gomez Romeo, either way thats not important. If I dont answer they keep calling and if I do answer I just get a recording. I tried speaking to a live person once but was on hold for 5 mins so I just gave up.

Mr. Gomez Romeo's poor credit history FTL

Also, follow his advise. Get your number on the do not call list.

True about the list. The thing is, they have 30 days before they MUST stop calling...and trust me they use all 30 days.
