No Call Report and Form

April 16, 2002

From: Rep. Doug Patterson, Leawood, District 28

Re: No Call Form, THE DMA TELEPHONE PREFERENCE SERVICE

Pending passage of a Kansas "No-Call" law, if you want to reduce the number of unsolicited national telemarketing calls you receive at home, you may register with TPS, a free service, by printing out this form, filling it in and mailing it to:

TELEPHONE PREFERENCE SERVICE

DIRECT MARKETING ASSOCATION (DMA)

P.O. BOX 9014

FARMINGDALE, NY 11735-9014

The DMA does not provide marketers with consumer telemarketing lists. The TPS file is available to companies for the sole purpose of removing your name, address and home telephone number from their callings lists. Your information will remain on TPS for 5 years. This service does not apply to telemarketing calls coming to your business phone.

After several months you will begin receiving fewer telemarketing calls. Local businesses and organizations usually do not use this program. You will continue to receive calls from companies with which you already do business. This is least a start until a Kansas No-Call law is adopted. We in the Kansas House passed a no-call bill this session and sent it to the Senate. Hopefully, the conferees will reach an agreement this year.

Not all companies use TPS to purge their calling lists, therefore, you may continue to receive some companies calls. If you are sure you do not want to do business with the company now or in the near future, ask to be placed on the company’s do-not-call file.
