You do have an option, and you won't stop the calls verbally anyway.

- If any third party collection agency says you owe something, be sure to respond on real paper to its federally required dunning letter with a dispute and validation request. Given the industry's documented need to break laws to get at your assets, you should dispute even if you agree slightly with the debt claim.

- You also have control of when, where, and how you are contacted. Your dispute notice may add a request to limit or revoke consent to call again. The agency legally *must* obey.

- If the account cannot legally be collected, or it's simply not you the agency wants, you're free to send a full ''cease-communication'' notice, cutting off all contact. Indicate which phone numbers and addresses are off-limits. You're not giving away anything the agency can't already know or find.

Send all notices via USPS Certified with return card. This is the method promoted by the FTC and many consumer watchdogs, and the only way to set a legal landmine, as such a notice is ignored at an agency's risk of a lawsuit from you. Pay close attention to all communication and document it well. If those contacts yield legal violations, you may collect *from* the collectors through a judge or arbitrator.

How do I stop them from calling?

  1. Ask the unwanted caller to stop calling and put you on their do not call list (they are legally required to comply).
  2. If your number is registered with the National Do Not Call Registry you can file a complaint with the FTC.
  3. Block them with a call blocker:
