Do you have any tricks about the credit rate adjustment calls? Those are my current ire, as well as the car warranty ones.

I finally got one of the credit rate adjustment calls to not immediately hang up on me, kept them on for about 15 minutes.

They incorrectly claimed that I only gave them 15 digits for my credit card number-- I think to make sure I read them the same digits back. Next time I'll make sure to have a fake credit card number handy that passes the checksum.
