Automated call harassment

What company calls people using automated messages so that you can't tell them you never signed up to be called for their *******. At least twice a day, every day, Clientele Life hounding me is against the Law. How do you even get our details so that you can harass us? Can't wait for POPI to come into effect on 1 July so we can deal with Companies like this.

Dear Chris S, We thank you for escalating your concerns to us and allowing us the opportunity to address your complaint. 
 
We confirm that all our data is received from external suppliers. This data is sourced through multiple channels, namely, Credit Bureaus, Public Domain Information, and Data Acquisitions. 

We have since requested for your details to be removed from our database and would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience caused in this regard.

Furthermore, it is important to note that other companies who receive their information through the same channels may have your details and you could still be contacted for other promotional campaigns. Therefore, to prevent the same from happening in the future, please ensure that your information is listed on the 'Do Not Contact' list.
   
It is important to note that all our suppliers must adhere to national legislation and their data is checked against the national 'Do Not Contact' list hosted by the DMA. More information on this can be found at www.dmasa.org  We trust you find this in order, however, should you require any further assistance please feel free to contact us again.  Yours sincerely,

Reviewer Update
Despite your assurances that I would not get called, I receive yet another automated call! This is completely unacceptable and I will be reporting this to the Ombudsmen.

Your company gives these generic responses about purchasing our data, but fail to confirm who sold it to you and whether the purchase was legal.

Sick and tired of this!
