There are limitations on what a debt collector can do. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and other federal and state regualtions curtail certian activity. Among the restrictions are speaking with persons other than the debtor about the debt. Voicemail messages are a very fact-specific isse. The level of detail to determine whether you have claim for a violation under one of the consumer protection laws is too complicated for a general free question format. You may want to retain counsel to look at your specific situation to see if claims are available to you.

Good Luck
