Shirley Ducker, please pay your bills!

Dear Shirley Ducker,

I am the unfortunate recipient of your former telephone number. I know this because I receive several calls per week from collection agencies asking for you. I started working from home over four years ago. For my company-provided business line, I was assigned the phone number that used to be yours. A few months later, the calls started.

It does not seem to matter how many times I tell them that they have the wrong number, or that they've reached a business and there's no "Shirley Ducker" here - and to please take the number out of their system. They keep calling, and calling, and calling.

So Shirley, on behalf of my sanity and your creditors, I beg you: Please pay your bills.
