This # continually calls my # within minutes of having already hung-up on me and and either hangs-up as soon as I answer, or hangs up before I'm able to answer or even hear the ring! This is known as "harrassment" and is ILLEGAL under the Fair Debt Collections Act and will be reported as such!
Know your rights: Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
Calling the consumer repeatedly, hanging up, calling and not saying anything, anonymous phone calls or any other telephone behavior intended to annoy, harass or abuse the consumer, their family members, neighbors or co-workers is also prohibited by the law.
"If the calls are considered harassment by the consumer, they can ask that they desist," says David Jones, president of the Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies, a nationwide group of nonprofit credit counseling agencies. "If a collection agency is calling repeatedly throughout the day, if there are threats, if they are abusive in their language or intimidating, those kinds of things can be shown to be harassment and that is prohibited by the Fair Debt Collections Act."
