Right after we moved into our house 20 years ago we got a new phone number. We quickly discovered that the number had been the phone number to a oil and gas company that went bankrupt. We kept getting calls from people looking for the gas company. I was polite on the first call and told the caller that company was no longer in business. If the same person called right back, I just told them they were screwed, the company is bankrupt, don't call again.

One day after about five years of that I called 411 and asked for the number of the company. The information folks gave me my phone number. I said wait, I need to talk to a supervisor. It took a while but I finally explained that they were still giving out my phone number to a defunct company. I heard a lot of keyboard action and she said I was right. Well duh. She said she would turn in a trouble ticket for the number and get them removed from that number.
