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.
