U.S., for a collection agency, they can call you until you tell them that they should never contact you again by phone. Legally, after you tell them to not call you again, they cannot. You may have tell them again a time or two, but in this country, your rights are your rights. They are still going to keep it on your credit report, and probably send bills in the mail.

How many times can a collection agency call in 1 day in bc?
A collection agency can (and will) call you every day if necessary. When a person owes someone else money, they are expected to pay for the services rendered. Nothing in life is ever free - we must all pay our bills and do whatever it takes, 2nd or 3rd jobs, doing away with the internet or cable television, drive less ... whatever it takes, the money must be paid to the collection agency or to whom it is due.Think of it as if someone owed you money ... you would also want to be paid and would call that person until you got paid.The question was not CAN a collection agency call, but how many times a day. If they speak to you, they are not allowed to call again that day. That is considered harrassment.

Does the creditor or the collection agency get the money you pay on a debt?
When a collection agency takes on a bad debt, in many cases they are "puchasing" the debt from the original creditor. When you then pay off the collection agency, your money will stay with that collection agency. This is the most common scenario, but some companies do have their own internal collection agencies (Capital One, for example, has their own collection subsidiary in Idaho - the Westmoreland Agency). Hope this helps!

Multitude of bill collectors calling for other people and when you tell them that no one lives here by that name they continue to call what can you do?
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) sets rules for bill collectors working for a collection agency (not a collector working for the creditor, many states have laws for all collectors). One of the rules is that they can not call you at work, harassing you, use inappropriate language, lying, adding unauthorized charges and many other practices. Under the FDCPA, you have the right to demand that the collection agency stop contacting you, except to tell you that collection efforts have ended or that the creditor or collection agency will sue you. You must put it in writing. Some thing happened to me. Certified letter telling them to stop worked like a charm.
How many times a day can a creditor call you before if is phone harassment?
This is a very broad question. It usually depends on the state and previous case law in that state. 5 times usually isn't harassment, 20 times is. And then were the calls just no answer or was there a live contact or a voicemail left? Because then the # goes down significantly. Experience: I own a collection agency.
Can you be sued by colection agency for medical bills that are pass the statute of limitations?
There is a federal law entitled the FDCPA. Any time you have a collection question you should search for the answer there first. An agency can attempt to collect the debt that is out of statute but they have no way of legally enforcing payment. Many times a person will pay an outstanding bill when its out of statute because they are not aware there are statutes of limitations. Sometimes a bill collection company will not even know that the statute tolled on the debt. Many times the client does not give the agency proper information purposely or by accident.....
