No they cannot it is against the law, once they have been told to stop calling your place of employment they must stop. If they do not you have a legal advantage. First send them a certified letter (with return receipt) demanding they stop, keep a copy for your lawsuit and keep the signature when it returns to you.

How are work commercial collection agency?
The commercial collection agency is used in debt collection in the event a debtor fails to.
After you told this collection agency who brought your account not to call you on your job can they continue?
If you "told" them , I would assume you meant you did this via the phone. Then with that being the case , yes, they may continue to contact you. ONLY if you either write them a leter stating to not cntactyou at work , or you notify them that your employer does not permet personal calls would the collection agency not be permitted to contact you at work. I would also say that any communication should be done by letter and those letters should be done either registered or certified or both. In this manner you have documentation from the post office that you actually did contact the collection agency and when you had that contact. Also it provs you did send something so the collection agency can not latter on claim they never got anything from you the debtor . It should go without saying , but I will say it anyway , as well as sending your communication with a collection agency by registered mail, please also keep a copy of each letter that you send to them for your own records ..

Can a collection agency ask your employer for your position and salary?
The first time a collection agency contacts you, it must give its name and address, and the name of the original creditor (the business or person you owe money to). It must also tell you in writing the amount of the debt and any fees which have been added, such as interest or collection fees. You must also be informed of your right to dispute the information. * A collection agency cannot call or write to you more than three times a week. Only one of those calls can be at work. You cannot be called between 9 pm and 8 am. * A collection agency cannot harass, intimidate, threaten, or embarrass you. It cannot threaten violence, criminal prosecution, or use offensive language. * If you send a written statement requesting a collection agency to stop, it cannot continue to call or write to you to demand payment. If you have an attorney, the law prohibits a collection agency from contacting anyone other than your attorney. If you do not have an attorney, the agency can contact other people only to find out where you live or work. The collector cannot tell these people that you owe money. In most cases, the collection agency can contact another person only once. These same rules apply to contact with your employer.

What is the law that states a collection agency cannot call your place of employment?
There is no law that states that a collection agency can not call your place of employment. BUT, once you have informed the collection agency, verbally, to stop calling their place of employment, the MUST stop. I would suggest that you send a "cerified" letter to the agency with your request. If they continue to do so, this is considered harrassment. To verify this answer, please check out the FDCPA "Fair Debt Collection Practices Act" You can find it on line at:Just copy and paste the below link. http://www.ftc.gov/OS/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.htm
