Can a debt collector call me at work?

In California, debt collection calls at work are generally limited by the Consumer Debt Defense Law. Generally, creditors and debt collectors cannot contact you at work if they know your employer does not allow it or if you have told them not to contact you at work. If your employer does not allow debt collectors to contact you at work, you should inform the debt collector of this. At that point, the debt collector is not allowed to contact you again at work, unless you give express permission. If you have told the debt collector not to contact you at work, they are not allowed to contact you again at work, even if your employer allows it. In this situation, you should also ask the debt collector to confirm they have received your request and have stopped contacting you at work. Additionally, debt collectors are not allowed to contact you at work if they know it will cause you any embarrassment or make your job uncomfortable. If you find a debt collector is calling you at work, despite your requests for them not to, you can contact the California Attorney General’s office. They will help you to resolve the issue by providing assistance and legal advice.
