Comment on GE Money’s predatory robocalls have to stop by John Frautschy

Ah, yes- GE Capital. Scum!

My cellphone has Kaspersky Mobile Security installed, which allows me to whitelist or blacklist (i.e. BLOCK) #’s based on whether I know them, are annoyed by them, etc. It doesn’t stop them calling back via another #, but it makes them work for it at least. And once one call comes thru, or I block it, that # no longer is able to ring my phone, nor even shows in my missed call list.

HAH! Take that credit collection scumbags! And, oh yeah- I have always paid my bill on time, so why they call me is yet to be determined. I guess I’ll never know, though, as I will never answer their call…

Oh yes, I’m going through the same thing ( 4 calls per day, even on Sunday) from GE Capital. I agree it is annoying, but I am realistic. No one, especiAlly someone from India, cares that we are upset about the calls or whether or not it is legal or right or wrong. You can rant and shout and demand a supervisor all you like, but they do not care. They will apologize for your frustration all day long, because it’s a great easy job for people in India. So, what’s the solution? I really don’t know, but what I do know is this….I refuse to get upset , yell, raise my blood pressure, or let it affect my mood. I don’t change my number. I just don’t answer. I save the numbers in my contact lists and I assign them a silent ring tone . No, it doesn’t stop the calls, but I never even know they called unless I look at my missed calls list. I value my peace and sanity too much to deal with making phone calls to various agencies and writing letters. Just how I roll.

Virgin PE. Total waste of money! Better paying for a good seat in Economy. Food is the same – we were given a sausage roll in a bag to warm us up when the cabin got too cold. Choices are poor. Just like Economy, you get your beverages in paper cups. Just look at the Virgin website and how it is portrayed as almost Business when it is definitely almost Economy. Staff are nice enough but are doing their job – we were told to close our window blind because others wanted to sleep and spent 10hrs with the seats in front of us fully reclined into our faces. Virgin PE? Total hype for fools and their money.

The GE website payment system has been misbehaving in the past. I’d make a payment, and it would try to get the money from a different account. That was before the newest version of the web site, which so far seems to have behaved properly for me — but based on past experience I don’t trust it. So I set up a way to pay them which is safer for me.

GE bank is undoubtedly the scummiest of the predators. They need to
take a few selected execs and put them in prison for multiple harrassment
violations. This outfit has been operating with impunity for many years.

they call several times a day even on sundays. sometimes they leave a msg sometimes they do not. they always ask for linda wilson. Yesterday I had enough. I answered and told the indian accented man there is no linda wilson here to remove my number. He apolagized and said he would. NEXT day,,, two calls again. I finally answered. i spoke with HELEN who explained the sae thing to and told her my number was supposed to be removed. I asked to speak with her supervisor NANCY who i again went off on saying how im harassed with calls and there is no linda wilson here and i am filing a complaint because this is wrong. And I certainlly shouldnt be bothered on a SUNDAY, I asked for her direct number so WHEN this happens AGAIN i can call her because ive been told twice now this matter is taken care of. I told her Im reporting them and I hope they get sued and shutdown ( i was soooo mad)
She could not give me her number just a 1800 #, I said No i want YOUR number. You call me several times a day,, Would you want me calling YOU several times a day asking for someone who doesnt even live here. SHe appolagized several times and despite my total rudeness she was mannered. This is crazy.
