I am not sure how it is in your state, but in Minnesota, once you request that a "collector" NOT call you at work, that is it. If they call you at work again after being asked not to, that is considered harrassment and they can be reported (to the attorney generals office, I think) and can face a fine for each call made, in some circumstances you would be intitled to restitution for the harrassment. I would suggest that you call the A.G.'s office in your state and find out what the law is as far as collectors calling you at work. Or your state might have this info on-line. Worth checking into. FYI- the is a rather large fine involved for calling before 9am or after 9pm. Good Luck
