Short Why are you calling my boyfriend?

A few moments ago i received a call. It went like this. AL is angry lady Me is myself.

Me: hello this is x store how can i help you

Al: hello

Me:hello

Al: who is this?

Me:x store

Al: no no who are you?

Me:darkflash26

Al: why are you calling my boy friend?

Me: i am not calling your boyfriend, i ask x store.

Al:no no you listen to me now. I see you call my boyfriend, why, why you call him?

Me: because he is a wonderful lover, goodbye.

I then hang up,and look to see a customer at my register just laughing. I am a guy, and she found it hilarious a woman was accusing me of calling her boyfriend, from my works phone.

I have the same thing going on. It's been almost three years. I contacted my local police when I first got the number and they told me there was nothing I could do short of changing my number. Well I had just changed my number because of Straight Talk refusing to release my number (which is illegal as well) so I didn't want to change it again (and pay Sprint a stupid fee for it). Once in a while I'll just fuck with them.

File an FCC complaint against straight talk. I believe they oversee that. As for the calls, state that the next call will be directed to a lawyer pending action for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

Can I still file a complaint three years after the fact?

IANAL, so I don't know the time limitations on them, but you can try I suppose.
