Phone Calls from Collection Agencies

Collection agencies frequently use harassing phone calls, including incessant calls to employers, as a tactic to collect debts. However, individuals can effectively stop these calls by sending a certified letter with a return receipt. This letter should explicitly state that all future contact must be made via snail mail, not by phone. If a collection agency continues to call you, your neighbors, or your employer after receiving this written notice, it constitutes a clear violation of the law, providing grounds for a lawsuit. This method offers a foolproof way to eliminate harassing phone calls from collection agencies.
