It might be helpful to review some of the debt collection practices that are specifically listed under the FDCPA.
1. If they call any party other than your spouse, they cannot state that you are even asserted to owe a debt. They are limited only to requesting information to locate you.
Calls to third parties to attempt to obtain location information are limited to one call unless they have reason to believe that an earlier response was erroneous or incomplete, or that the third party now has correct or complete location information. FDCPA 804(2)-(3)
2. The representation or implcation that nonpaymet of debt may result in arrest or imprisonment of any person. FDPA 807(4).
3. The representation or implication that nonpayment will result in seizure, garnishment, attachment, or sale of property unless any such action i lawful and they intend to take that action. FDCPA 807(4).
4. Attempt to communicate at the consumer's placd of employment if the debt collector knows or has reason to believe that the consumer's employer prohibits the cosumer from receiving any such communiications. FDCPA 805(3). That applies only to the consumer. Calling your boss is separately prohibited if they inform him or her that you aer alleged to owe and are limited only to requesting location information.
Send them notice that your employer does not permit calls at your place of employement related to any such communications.
