There is the kind of letter that you write insisting on this condition prior to paying a collection account. There is also the collection agencys' written agreement stating this. There is no standard form letter.

Can a debt collector block their phone number?
I don't think there is a law stating a debt collector cannot call from a blocked number. That would be like saying the letter they mail you needs to have a return address on it. Check out this link for a consumer guide to debt collection.
Can a debt collector leave numerous phone messages but never send the initial collection letter in the mail?
Absolutely. However, if you want the calls to stop, all you have to do is send a letter to the collection agency requesting only written correspondence. This has to be done in writing and the agencies have to abide by the request. If they refuse to give you an address to which you can send the letter, you can report them under the Fair Debt Collection act. They can, but if you tell them not to call you anymore they have to stop calling you.

Contact dentist immediately and see if you can still settle with dentist. If not, see if the collection company will give you a letter removing the late from your credit if you pay now in full. They will show you paid it in full but what you need is a removal letter from your credit if it was reported on your credit. Move quickly for the collection will stay on your credit 7-10 years.
Can a collection agency collect after 2 years?
Most likely yes. States have statute of limitations that determine the time a creditor/collector has to initiate a civil suit against the debtor. It is unlikely that two years would qualify as such in any state. However, the interested person can find out the SOL for debt for his or her state by doing a search of that state's consumer-creditor laws. In regards to usual methods of debt collection (mail, phone calls...) there is no time limit as such. The lender/collector can continue collection efforts as long as they abide by the FDCPA. The debtor has the option of rendering a "cease and desist" letter to stop collection methods, to the collector (not the original creditor) if they so choose.
How to Make a Collection Agency Stop Calling?
Creditors are usually one of two options, an internal collection department or third-party collection agencies. Third-party collection agencies are the most common, offering to gather debts for a variety of lenders. Often third-party collection agencies receive commission, usually a percentage of the debt collected. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), you can put an end to contact from collection agencies or collectors by using the following steps. ▪ Step 1: Decide what you are capable or willing to do about a debt. Ultimately paying off the debts that you owe is the morally responsible thing. Be honest and realistic about your financial situation; can you afford to pay this debt. ▪ Step 2: Put an end to contact with the debt collector. Notify the debt collector in writing that you decline to pay and state that you do not want the collector to contact you further, preferably mentioning the FDCPA. ▪ Step 3: Be aware of the consequences of your actions. Although the debt collector is obligated to stop communicate with respect to such debt there are other options for the collector. The collector can contact the debtor further efforts will be ended. The collection agency or collector may notify the debtor solutions to the debt payment or that the collector intends to exercise this solution. Chances of this account being reported to the credit bureau are good under these circumstances and if the debt in question is a large sum, there is also the possibility of a law suit from the original creditor. If you find yourself stuck in a communication war with a creditor, decide what you are capable of doing, write a letter of intent to the collector and be aware of the consequences of your actions. Ultimately informing the original creditor of your intentions will avoid your account being forwarded to a collector or collection agency in the first place.
