it took 6 months for Southwestern Bell to quit calling my house everyday telling me my account was delinquent. We called several times and each time we were promised that the calls would stop. One day I finally got really fed up and keep nagging until I got to talk with one of their mainframe guys who knew the system that did the automatic calling. Everyone before him told me that even though I knew what phone number they were calling me at, they couldn't search based on that field. Ths guy was able to search the db and remove our reference.
