Well, I received some evidence that my complaint to the FCC regarding telemarketing calls from companies "on behalf" of CitiMortgage may actually result in some type of action.

An envelope arrived in my mailbox yesterday from the FCC. Basically, it was just a hard copy of the forms I filled out on their website and a little note to let me know that they will be in touch with me if they need any more information regarding the complaint.

I’m not naive enough to expect CitiMortgage to be looking down the barrel of a big fine just yet, but it is encouraging to see that they have not forgotten about me. I hope they do get in touch with me for more information because I’d be happy to cooperate and do everything I can bring a little bit of pain to these jackasses that think they can call people after they have been told to stop.

Nothing has changed as far as the telephone calls here. It’s very quiet except for the occasional call from a family member, friend or appointment confirmation from the dentist or whoever. It kind of reminds me of "the old days" before our mortgage ended up in the greedy hands of CitiMortgage.

Speaking of mortgages, I received a letter in the mail yesterday – hand-written no less! – from a mortgage company with a re-finance offer that sounds pretty good. Rates must still be down below what they were a couple of years ago when we re-financed. I may get in touch with them for more details and see what kind of deal they are offering. The savings they are claiming are quite significant.

I wonder if there’s any way to make them promise not to sell my mortgage to CitiMortgage if we do end up re-financing again. I sure don’t want to go down that road again!

Welcome back!
