Welcome to RegulationRoom raquelmc949, and thank you for joining the discussion. Today, more and more people are using cell phones instead of traditional land lines. However, consumers may get charged based on the number of calls or texts received on their mobile phones, so the FTC has taken the position that mobile phones should not be used. CFPB has been given authority to make rules on this, and wants to know more about using cellphones in debt collection. Do you think that the Massachusetts rule, limiting communications to two calls per week, would help with repetitive calling? Is there another way CFPB should address the problem you experienced?

Actually, calls to your mobile/cell phone are illegal.
