Yes, you can sue a creditor for harassment if they engage in unlawful practices, such as threatening or abusive behavior, excessive calls, or calling at unreasonable hours. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), consumers are protected from such harassment. If you believe your rights have been violated, documenting the harassment and consulting with a legal professional can help you determine the best course of action.

Can you sue a creditor for not updateing my credit report after a payment was received?

Creditors update credit reports on their schedule, some update every month, others update every other or every third month. If you are in a hurry, contact the credit bureaus and have them contact the creditor themselves. You can sue a creditor, but you have to try contacting the creditor first (via mail), then file a complaint with the FTC, then contact the credit bureaus. If the account still hasn't been updated, you can go ahead and sue the creditor.

It depends on the grounds for the original case you were going to sue him for. If it was for an illegal discriminatory practice or illegal harassment, then in addition to your original case, you can also sue him for what is called "retalition," which a form of harassment. It is probably not a good idea to tell your boss that you are suing him. If you are going to sue your boss, you should let your lawyer or a court officer serve him with the lawsuit.
