No, It is illegal for them to even suggest they can have your license revoked or have you arrested.

Get informed! Read the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act booklet from the Federal Government. It tells you what collectors can and can't do. It also tells you what to do if they break the law while trying to collect from you.

Remember, debt collectors MUST stop contacting you by phone if you request it by FAX or mail. Send a FAX or a letter with PROOF OF DELIVERY, to prove you sent the request. After they receive it, they must stop calling you and your family. They can only contact you by mail after that. Report them to the FTC if they don't stop.
