Hey everyone, I really need some advice. Over the past few months, I’ve been getting nonstop calls and messages from a collection agency about a debt I am already working on paying. They call multiple times a day, sometimes even on weekends, and it’s starting to feel really overwhelming and stressful. I’ve tried asking them to stop calling or to communicate in writing, but they don’t seem to care.

I’ve been reading up on my rights, and I found this page that explains ways to fight collection agency harassment. It talks about how you can formally request that they stop contacting you and what to do if they keep harassing you: https://protectionforconsumers.com/fight-collection-agency-harassment/
Has anyone dealt with something like this? How did you handle it, and did taking action actually stop the harassment? I feel like I shouldn’t have to deal with constant calls and intimidation while trying to sort things out. Any advice or shared experiences would really help.
