How can we stop harrassing ph. calls that are not meant for us?

We had our ph. # changed 3+yrs. ago, and ever since then we have been getting harrassing calls from a place that just goes by ERC, for a person that we do not know. Evidently this ERC does not believe that we are not this lady, we are getting pretty upset about this, please does anyone have any suggestings on how we can get these calls to stop?How can we stop harrassing ph. calls that are not meant for us?

Threaten them with a harrassment suit. We had some collection agency calling for someone with our last name. This one woman got me on the phone one afternoon, and she asked for ';Corey.'; I told her she had the wrong number. I was about to hang up. She asked if it was the ____ resedence. I told her it was, but nobody named Corey lives here. Then she asked if it was a new number. I'd had that number since before the area code changed...I'm the only one who's ever had it. And she went on and on, and I kept telling her I didn't know him. She finally told me to just tell him to call and hung up. We got several messages from these same people in the next couple of weeks. We finally called them back and told them to stop, and if they didn't, we'd file harassment charges. It worked.
the next time they call, tell them



a) you have told them numerous times they have the wrong number

b) to remove your phone number immediately from the lady's records

c) that if they call you again you will contact appropriate law authorities

d) that you are reporting them to the better business bureau



you'll probably have to say it quickly because they'll probably start talking over you and getting nasty



then if they do call back, actually report the phone number they are calling from. you can do a reverse number lookup to see what city they are calling from and even call the local law enforcement there probably.
