how to stop debt collectors from calling you at work

Amex called me at work too! They did stop however when I told them not to call me at work again.

Well, you can try to send them a letter asking them not to call you at work, but it may not stop them since original creditors don't have to abide by cease & desist orders.

What state do you live in? Some states have laws that can be applied to the OC.

i found this post on squidoo i hope its okay to post here, its not mine, but it is very informative as to what to do with the harrassing creditors if they wont stop calling, and who to contact. hope it helps!

The CA's will be violating the federal laws if they continue to call even after receiving your letter however keep it in mind Original Creditors have every right to call , but the OC's too cannot threaten you.

Just a correction to the above,

Original creditors do not have to follow the FDCPA but if your state has laws for debt collection, the Original creditor will have to follow them and you should state that to them when you call or in writing. They are sometimes more strict than the FDCPA and that works in your favor.

Massachusetts and I believe Texas are 2 of them states. I know there must be others, it is just a matter of researching it.

Thanks for the tips. I live in CT. How do I find the specific laws for my state?

You may want to do some more digging on your own. I just did a quick google search; however, I didn't have time to read in depth.

Thanks very much for that link.
