How to Stop Penn Credit Debt Collection Phone Harassment?

I'm sharing my experience because I'm hoping someone here has advice. For the past few weeks, Penn Credit has been blowing up my phone. It started with calls about a toll bill I barely remembered, and now they are calling multiple times a day.

I finally answered once and it was incredibly stressful. I've seen people say they are a legitimate company, but the tactics feel aggressive. I just want to know how to stop Penn Credit debt collection phone harassment legally. I read that sending a cease and desist letter is an option, but I'm worried that might trigger a lawsuit.

Has anyone here successfully gotten them to stop calling? I found this article that talks about validating the debt and your rights under the FDCPA, but I wanted to hear from real people first. Here is the link if it helps anyone else: https://protectionforconsumers.com/tired-of-penn-credit-debt-collection-harassment/

Any advice would be appreciated.
