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.
Until you pay the bill or file a BK or change your number.
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.
Unless you have given a collection agency written permission to pull a full credit report they are in violation of credit laws.
There is no specific limit on how many times a debt collector can call you in a day, but they must follow the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) which prohibits them from engaging in harassment or abuse while trying to collect a debt. You can request in writing that they only contact you through certain means or at certain times.
A dept collector can call as many times as he wants. First off it is deBt not dePt,and secondly it could be he/she...Most importantly get name and address of collection agency,and send them a,return receipt requested letter,stating you want them to stop.

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!
as many times as they wish. if it's late at night a complaint can be made to the police
yes and do all the time and the old agentcy will still show on credit report It can be bought and sold as many times as the agencys want to move it around
You can ask the bill collectors to stop calling you and inform them that the person they are looking for does not reside at that number or address. Additionally, you can block their numbers or file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau if the calls persist despite your request to stop.
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.
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.....
