Debt Collectors have no "rights" to call anyone. As soon as you let them know you cannot take calls at work, they must stop. And, if they in anyway indicate they are calling about a debt or even that they are debt collectors when they call any third party, they have violated the law. And, MOST third party debt collectors will not sue. That is why they are calling. Think about it! If they had a case, they would just file the lawsuit, but they know in most cases that they could never win in court. >>> Submitted: 8/12/2008 12:01:47 PM Modified: 8/12/2008 12:13:28 PM Michigan Reality Paw Paw, Michigan U.S.A. I might be wrong, but If they are unable to reach you at home, and the only contact they have is your work, I believe they can call you at work until they get your home number. They can also call neighbors and relatives to get a message to you. If you do not want to be contacted at all, send them a cease contact letter certified, and they will not be able to contact you again. Though that could lead to a lawsuit. >>>
