Nothing prevents a creditor from contacting your neighbors, friends, or family. There is limitations on disclosing personal information to 3rd parties. To prevent them from contacting you or anyone else, you can send them a cease and desist letter. However, doing so can have some negative impacts.

The collection agent may be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, depending upon the specific facts and circumstances.
