What ever happened to the "Do not Call List"?

they share your information between internal lines of business as well as their partners.. you usually implicitly grant this permission when your account is setup. you can call them and have this 'sharing' turned off.. they also maintain their own do not call repository which is adhered to in their marketing campaigns.

 

the major FI's are very heavily regulated. if you're getting solicitation from them or a partner and you've requested to not receive it, you could create problems for them.

 

disclaimer: this most definitely applies to one of the big banks, most likely the rest of them as well.

 

if you're getting electronic solicitation/marketing spam (text message/email) from them, you need to explicitly request your removal. subsequent electronic solicitation is a big no-no and in violation of canadian anti spam legislation (CASL) and fines up to like $10mil for an organization.

I told them very clear not to share information and it was agreed upon.

 

But its blatantly clear they do it anyways

 

So who do I call?

You don't give out your number, that's about the only way to steer clear of the Bull.

It still happens regardless bill(maybe not to a lucky few)

 

Anytime my phone number is required I ask why and politely decline

Ya, 15 minutes ago Air Canada called and offered me $900 off my next trip. Well that would mean you're going to fly me pretty far for nothing. Right!

I did away with my old cell phone and number because I got so many stupid calls from people I know.......now I have a new cell phone and new number with only a VERY select few people that have that number.......PEACE finally.....
