I don't think the consumer should have the options as to when and how they are called. Most collection agency's today would remove a consumers phone number hen asked.
I think it should be illegal or miss leading for a agency to change its caller id.
You could easily look up a relatives number and use that. There should be a rule regarding a change in caller id.
So are you saying the CEO of the company who's dialer keeps calling should face criminal charges ? I don't think that is the solution, I hear there isn't room in the jails to put all the bill collectors.
A lot of the multiple calls problems come from an dialer calling, if it doesn't get an answer it will call back later.
Most debt collectors and collection agency don't report to credit bureaus. I never heard of a debt collector being able to change your address with the credit bureaus. You say you supplied the credit bureaus with your address and a collector changed it?
What did they change it to? What good would it of for a collection company to change your address ? Then they can't mail your letters either.
I don't think that we are discussing how to block a collector from calling you.
You shouldn't have to feel that you have to " block " a call . You should just answer and ask them not to call you.
I don't think limiting the time to call a person at work is an option. Everyone works at different times.
Some people moves, change cell phone numbers , so call them at work is sometimes the only option. It's hard to know what place "prefers" no personal calls , and a list could be an option, but most people work for smaller company's and the lists will cater to the large company's. Most people have information about where they work somewhere on the web.
I don't see a problem if a debt collector calls a customer at work if they don't know prior of any inconvenience.
Would a customer prefer to be called at work, or have a message left with a relative for them ?

Why should, an agency have to mail a letter to the consumer who requested not to be called? They most likely won't read it

I don't think it matters whether a collector used a alias or not. It's just a name. If it is used constantly

I agree both party's should be aware if any recording is going on. It is fair for both sides

You don't answer you'll get a call again. Rather than ignore you could answer and ask the company not to call you.
