A creditor cannot harrass anyone. It is a direct violation of the FDCPA. The problem is defining what creates a harrassment situation. Power of Attorney, (unless restricted by the court) gives the person the legal right to act on behalf of the incompetent person. Such as filing for bankruptcy, contesting a lawsuit, an so on. The best option is to contact the attorney who assisted with the POA. Or a consultation (usually free or minimal fee) with an attorney to explore the legal options.

∙ 8y agoIt all depends on what you mean by harass. A creditor can contact the attorney in fact to pay a past due bill since the AIF is the one responsible for paying the debts of the principal. It is a commonly known fact that when a plaintiff files a lawsuit to go after money owed, the defendant often mischaracterizes the plaintiff’s requests for payment as harassment.

Can a creditor call you at your workplace in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but only if the creditor has not been informed that the debtor does not want to be contacted at the place of their employment. Once the creditor has been made aware of such they can no longer legally make contact at the debtor's place of business. The debtor can render the notice verbally but it is strongly suggested that said debtor send a 'cease and desist' notice via registered mail to the creditor(s). The letter should state all the places and/or methods that the creditor(s) cannot contact the debtor, (i.e, place of employment, educational facility, home, family members home and/or cell phone, landline, internet, etc.).
