How can I stop stupid automated telephone calls?

Three years ago I was T-boned by an illegal unlicensed Mexican in his old beat-up pickup. As a result, I was put in the hospital for 3 days and my car was totaled. MY insurance replaced my car and MY medical insurance paid most of my hospital bill. Now, three years later, I am getting automated calls to inform me that the warranty on my car is about to expire and would I like to renew it. This is on my wrecked car! I have spoke with the agency but the calls keep coming. What next?|||every time one of the automated voices start press 8 i think it is, anyways one of the buttons tells them to remove your name from their automated list. and it dose work, after they call several times and u press the button several times but it dose work|||I do not know if USA has a sort of telephone preference service which can be contacted to stop these calls, but it may be useful if it is not recorded to say hold on please and then walk away for a while, and see how long it takes for them to get tired. the trouble is that these calls or often number withheld and if you have those numbers blocked you may not get calls from friends which you want.

Alternatively, get caller ID and don't answer calls from unknown numbers.|||Are you on the "Do Not Call Registry?" Once you're on the list, you shouldn't be disturbed. One other suggestion, is to have Caller ID installed on your phone line. You'll be able to see the phone number when the calls come in, which will allow you to ignore it. They sure are persistent aren't they?|||There is a list you can put your name on for unwanted calls, but it does not work.

If you hang up enough, after a while they should stop.|||Try pressing the # key on your phone as fast as you can when they call. I think that's the key you press.|||Tell them explicitly to remove your phone number from their calling list.
