A debt collected can contact you at your place of employment, unless their know that your "employer" prohibits such personal calls {15 USC § 1692c(a)(3)}, which is not the same has the rule covering communications during a time or place known to be "inconvenient" {15 USC § 1692a(1)}. This means that your "employer" must be the one that prescripts that such calls are forbidden, not you.

Now in practice, most collectors if they receive a letter saying that your employer "prohibits" personal calls and they would generally stop trying to reach you at work - even if your lying.

Is it legal for bill collectors to call you everyday?

Yes. Debt collectors must adhere to the regulations set out in the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act. The collector must call between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. in the debtor's time zone. Although there is no set amount of calls that can be made during that time period such contact cannot be continuous (hour after hour) or excessive in such a way that it can be defined as abusive.

Multitude of bill collectors calling for other people and when you tell them that no one lives here by that name they continue to call what can you do?

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) sets rules for bill collectors working for a collection agency (not a collector working for the creditor, many states have laws for all collectors). One of the rules is that they can not call you at work, harassing you, use inappropriate language, lying, adding unauthorized charges and many other practices. Under the FDCPA, you have the right to demand that the collection agency stop contacting you, except to tell you that collection efforts have ended or that the creditor or collection agency will sue you. You must put it in writing. Some thing happened to me. Certified letter telling them to stop worked like a charm.
