Can a debt collection agency call your work?
No. Once the party involved has informed the collector that they do not want them calling their place of employment the calls must end. Some collectors however simply will not listen and continue to break FDCPA laws. If this is the case the collection agency should be reported to the office of the state's Attorney General. This can be done by phone, but it is best to follow up in a letter. Keep a log of any calls received after the request has been made.

I would suggest that you send a "cerified" letter to the agency with your request. If they continue to do so, this is considered harrassment.
