There are (fairly toothless) fair debt collection practices acts designed to deter creditors from calling and to limit what you describe; the express goal was to obviate the need for bankruptcy by curtailing undue influence and oppression... suffice to say it was a lofty goal. In any event (even toothsome) fair-debt laws won't preclude garnishments, attachments, and property-seizures.
