How many phone calls a day can be made by a creditor before it is considered harassment? Would 4-8 calls a day everyday fall into that catagory? What can be done about thisto cease it? Thank you.

Under the Fair Debt Collection Preactices Act(FDCPA) a consumer who
is being repeatedly called at his or her home may send wriiten notice to the collector(s) that they are to cease and desist from all further contact with the (alleged) debtor with which they must comply or face possible sanctions/penalties.
This notice should be sent certified mail with a return receipt requested.
