I'll be glad to take you off our list

Okay, in order to get a call from my call center is if you went on line and applied for credit. If we don't have enough info to get you credit we call.

We have people scream at us "TAKE OUR NUMBER OFF YOUR LIST!" "STOP CALLING HERE" etc. This means, that your application for credit is withdrawn and we don't call anymore. After all, you asked to be removed and we have to stop calling.

This leads to these same people calling back demanding to know why they were denied credit.

I used to get similar responses sometimes when I called people to pick up the special order movie that just arrived. Soooo, I'd call them back and quickly say "This is Bainsidhe from X Company. Your special order DVD is in". Usually the response was "oh, okay". Right after I got chewed out, naturally. Heh.

The thing is, I tell people were I'm calling from when they answer the phone, so there really is no excuse.

I dealt with something similar to this today. This man called us on Wednesday about how he could not get his e-mails to download. I called him back today to tell him the problem, and the first thing he said to me, after I gave him my name and who I work for, was, "I want you to take me off your solicitation list right now!" My response was, "Sir, you reported trouble with your e-mail, and you left us this number to call you at." Suddenly, he changed his tune and remembered that he called us after all. "But, I have another number you're supposed to call me on!" Let me see. This asshole left us his phone number, being we asked him for it. I don't have a crystal ball that tells me what alternate phone numbers you have, and even if I was able to find out your other number, I know you would have replied to me the same way.
