Welcome to RegulationRoom DianeMathers, being harassed for over 5 years sounds extremely frustrating. However, we ask that you refrain from name calling or personal attacks when commenting on RegulationRoom. Federal law does give a consumer the right to tell the collector to stop contacting him/her completely. You may want to visit CFPB’s web page where you can submit a complaint about a debt collector. They also provide sample letters to help consumers tell the debt collector to stop contacting them unless they can show evidence that the consumer is responsible for this debt.
