Have you been receiving calls from unknown sources? If you have you are not alone. Based on the the number of searches done for random phone numbers there appears to be a huge problem with unknown calls. Chances are if you are receiving calls from unknown sources it is probably from either collection agencies or telemarketers.
If you are receiving calls from collection agencies at work you can tell them on the phone to not call you at work ever again and they have to abide by that. If they call you again at work after being told to stop they probably owe you money under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. They are just not going to send you the money. You have to enforce your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. You can do this yourself or hire an attorney to help you. About the most you can get for it is $1000 unless it causes you grief on your job then potentially the sky is the limit.
The first thing you need to understand just because you may owe money to someone it does not give them the right to bully you around. So if they are calling you at work or even home and you tell them to stop and they don’t you can collect from them. It is considered harassment to be called by a collection agency after you tell them to stop calling you. It is your right and within the law. You do not have to put up with collection agency harassment!!
