I have been continually harrassed at my work phone number by Flobridge Group (formerly Cash N Dash). In all the letters I've sent them I have prohibited them to call me at that number, yet they continue, also leaving ominous messages about being sent to "The Garnishment Department". Is there any law that prohibits the OC from calling you at a number you have strictly prohibited that they call you on? I am at the end of my rope with them and as far as me paying them anything else, they can just suck wind. Any help is greatly appreciated!


Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can answer, but I believe the "cease and desist" as it applies to being called at work applies only to the collection agencies for PDL's? I might be wrong on that, though. As far as them sending you to the "Garnishment Department," well, that IS a new one on me; does that mean they're going to cover you with parsley? :)

I believe it does only apply to collectors though most companies do respect it. i would just basically hang up on them and keep sending letters that you refuse to speak to them at work. eventually they will see they are wasting their time and will stop. was this loan legal? if it is not than they cannot garnish your wages but i would send your pyaroll a letter stating that you revoke any wage assingments that might come in your name.

True, but OC or CA's must cease calling you at work once they are told you are not permitted to receive personal phone calls at work. I believe you can still file a complaint against the OC for not abiding by a cease calling at your place of employment. Not sure where I read that but I believe it was on the FTC site.

If Cash N Dash is a storefront (I have seen that name in a few states), call thier Corp Office and make them aware that you will be filing harrasment charges against them for calling you at work after they have been asked not to. Internet companies will not listen to this, but a storefront that is licensed will react pretty quickly!

PDL Owner makes a good point. If the business does have a valid state license, I would also make a point of calling the State Agency that regulates licenses to make a report of their behavior and see if there is any punative action that can be taken against them. Good luck, and keep us posted!

In most states, their is no punative action other than a "love note" from the state. Generally, situations like these are just an employee that is overly aggressive. When you report this to the Corp Office, they will handle the situation and be much more willing to work with you to avoid any ill will.

In this case, if our friend works in an office like this, the best defense is a good offense. He or she must take their boss into their confidence if they can and let them know what is going on. Quite possibly, they can help. Part of the reasons these companies do this is for intimidation, I believe.
