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.

You can ask the bill collectors to stop calling you and inform them that the person they are looking for does not reside at that number or address. Additionally, you can block their numbers or file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau if the calls persist despite your request to stop.

Is it true that debt collectors have to stop calling you if you ask them to?

No, that is not true. In fact, there are people who receive calls from debt collectors when they don't even owe any money. You best bet is to contact the FTC and file a complaint. I'd also invest in caller ID so you can monitor what numbers are calling you. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre18.shtm
