Why is there a discrepancy between what you say the statute says - 9am - and what time I find referenced everywhere else - 8am? And what about weekend restrictions? This past weekend I was woken by a call from Midland Debt Collection at 8:10am on a Sunday morning on my cell phone.
I was receiving 4 or 5 calls a day from Midland Debt Collection daily for two weeks on my cellphone. As I'm unemployed and scraping by I was ignoring - or rather trying to ignore - the calls. They were always hang-ups. Never any message. As I live in Indiana - a "business-oriented" state, it seems the laws favor the debt collectors over the debtors. Limits on calls? Please, do. When I finally did have the gumption to answer when they called at 8:10am on a Sunday morning, I made a strong case about being harrassed and informed him I didn't want to be contacted on my cell phone. It's only a few days but I'll see. I still don't know if it was any legit debt that they were calling about.
