Do Not Call List

Are you tired of being bothered during dinner by pesky telemarketers? We all know that they're just doing their jobs but it can be a pain! Wouldn't it be great if you could stop them from calling you? In Arkansas, you can stop some of them from calling you by simply requesting your name be put on a "Do Not Call" list.

Information

For $5 and a quick trip to a website, you can be telemarketer free. There are a few exceptions. A few businesses will still be able to call:

• Anyone with written permission to call you.
• Businesses with whom you have had a relationship with in the past 36 months.
• Anyone calling regarding an outstanding debt or obligation.
• Motor vehicle dealers, insurance agents, real estate agents, funeral establishments or from licensed investment brokers regarding the sale of their products and services.
• Volunteers calling on behalf of a charitable organization.
• Newspapers regarding advertising or sales.
• Banks relating to banking services other than credit card offers.
