Well, they can try. What you need to do, if you haven't already, is draft a written letter stating the company is not to contact you except through your attorney. If they don't honor that request, they can be reported and fined. Check out the Fair Debt Collection Act. * The best method for notification is indeed written correspondence. However, the debtor may inform the creditor or collector that they have retained an attorney and impart the necessary contact information when the creditor contacts them by phone, this action is accepted under FDCPA guidelines. A possible problem would be, that the collector could claim they were not given the information, which some will do anyway regardless of how they are notified.

How do you get a debt collector to stop calling?
"If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter - even if you don't think you owe the debt, can't repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don't want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector - in writing - to stop contacting you. Here's how to do that: Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a "return receipt" so you'll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt. "
