If you’re tired of being tempted by telemarketer phone calls, maybe you should get on the Do Not Call List.  Yes, you need to learn to “just say no!” but fewer calls can definitely help! As of September 30, 2008 Canada finally has a “do not call list“. It could take a month for telemarketers to stop ringing your phone though.

Some companies can continue to call you, especially if they’re government, have a relationship with you already or are a charitable donation. You have the power to say “No thank you” when they call so exercise that right intead of taking on more debt or falling for a “do not pay a cent” type event.
