What should I do if I continue to receive calls after registering?

If an individual continues to receive calls after registering their number with the National Do Not Call Registry, there are a few steps they can take to address the situation. First, it is important to ensure that the registration has been completed successfully. The registration may take up to thirty days to take effect, so if the registration is recent, it may simply take more time for the calls to cease. If the calls persist beyond this thirty-day period, the individual should make a note of the details of the calls, including the date and time, the name of the company, and the nature of the call. This information can be helpful in reporting unwanted calls. The National Do Not Call Registry allows individuals to report such calls, and doing so can help the authorities track down and take action against those making the calls. It is also advisable to remember that some types of calls may still be permissible, such as those from charities, political organizations, or companies with which the individual has an existing relationship. Understanding these exceptions can clarify why some calls may still come through. For further guidance on this matter, one can refer to the National Do Not Call Registry's official website for additional information and resources.
