Debt collectors can contact people at their place of employment until that person request the agency/collector cease from doing so. Once the debtor has told a creditor/collector to no longer contact them at work the collector must do so.
If after notice a collector continues such action they are in violation of the FDCPA and should be reported.
No, it is illegal for them to contact you when you are at work or any other profession!
Yes but if you are called at your place of employment and request you not be contacted there they have to stop.
If you have asked this creditor to stop calling your work, that is not enough. You must put it in writting and mail it to them, at this point they are not permitted to call you at your place of employment or even your home if you request this in your letter as well.
Call the creditor and try to work something out, until you can start making regular payments again.

Yes, give them a call and work it out. If at all possible avoid a repossession. It will negatively effect your credit for 7 years.
A creditor can turn you over to collections and report you to the credit reporting agencies. Depending on what type of credit card you are talking about, the creditor can also demand return of items purchased on the card (such as an appliance store account). If you are getting harassing phone calls at home or work (yes, they are allowed to call you at work), you can send them a written letter stating that you no longer want them to call you at home or work (sent via registered mail with return receipt). The creditor would then be allowed to call you one more time to verify receipt of your letter. Creditors are also not allowed to call you before 7am or after 9pm. Due to privacy isses, creditors are not allowed to tell your employer or others not listed on the credit account why they are calling.
A creditor can contact a debtor at work unless these calls are prohibited by the employer or the creditor has been told not to call debtor at work. You can also contact the creditor, in writing, to request that all calls cease and all communication be done by mail. Then the creditor will be able to contact you one more time to let you know phone calls will be discontinued. The first answer was right on the money, but remember, it HAS TO BE IN WRITING for the debt collector to be forced to comply.
