I've filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau of Eastern
North Carolina, for what it's worth. They have an online form here:

 http://www.bbbenc.org/complaint_form.html

Here's the text of my complaint:

COMPANY INFORMATION:

Carpet Dry Clean of the Triangle, Inc
4917 Professional Ct Suite 101
Raleigh, NC  27609

Country: US
Phone Number: 9198780748
FAX Number: 
Internet Address: 


COMPLAINT INFORMATION:

Preston Laughinghouse's company has been calling 
ever since I can remember, going back at least three 
years, always using a pre-recorded message that is 
left on our voice mail if we aren't at home. He called 
today, 5/23/02, at 9:40am. Before that, he called on 04/
09/02 at 3:05pm, and before that, on 2/25/02 at 
11:57am. And this is just since I started keeping track. I 
believe that given the length of the message, and the 
number of homes in the Raleigh area, that his 
advertising machine never stops, just continues to loop 
around his long list of phone numbers (possibly using 
a wardialer). I find the practice annoying at best, even 
more so given that we have hardwood floors and no 
carpets. Please investigate.

...

Besides, /nobody/ calls me at 9:30am. Bastards.
