This is not illegal. Here is an except for the do-not call legislation from the FTC:
A telephone solicitation is a telephone call that acts as an advertisement. The term does not include calls or messages placed with your express prior permission, by or on behalf of a tax-exempt non-profit organization, or from a person or organization with which you have an established business relationship (EBR).
An EBR exists if you have made an inquiry,
application, purchase, or transaction regarding products or
services offered by the person or entity involved. Generally, you
may put an end to that relationship by telling the person or
entity not to place any more solicitation calls to your home.
Additionally, the EBR is only in effect for 18 months after your
last business transaction or three months after your last inquiry
or application. After these time periods, calls placed to your
home phone number or numbers by that person or entity are
considered telephone solicitations subject to the do-not-call
rules.
So, they can continue to call you for up to 18 months from your last purchase from the company. There's nothing that can stop them legally, you are one of their customers. Now if you terminate all your accounts with them and tell them not to contact you, then you may have something to stand on. However, as long as you are a customer of theirs, they can legally continue to call you.
