Hey y'all... awesome forum!

Yesterday, I got a call on my business line from Nationwide Credit. I informed them to put me on their "do not call list" and that I prefer to do everything in writing, and in fact had a certified letter enroute to them (a validation request, but I didn't say that to her). Of course, she was babbling on and I repeated, "Do not EVER call me again! This conversation is OVER!" and hung up as she continued to (0f course) babble.

Today, the same company calls me again (same rep, too) and I said, "You don't listen very well. You are breaking the law. I TOLD YOU to never call me again!". She claimed she was not breaking the law because that was on my business line and this is my residential line. I work out of my home, by the way (not that it makes any difference). I told her "Well, June, I repeat: do not EVER, EVER contact me by phone again!", then I hung up on her.

Did she violate the law by harrassing me 2 days in a row just because the harrassment took place on a business line one day and a residential line the next day? Obviously, Nationwide hasn't received my validation letter yet, along with my demand in writing to never attempt to contact me via telephone again.

If this IS a violation of the law, then what should I do next, if anything? Should I send them a bill for $1000, or would that get me anywhere? Thanks in advance!
