Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Washington
debt calls & e-mails
I have arranged to pay a debt by a particular date. Since then, I have received numerous e-mails & phone calls stating that they haven’t heard from me. I have saved the e-mails and responded to several of them reminding this individual of our arrangement, but they continue. Is this harassment? What can I do to stop this?

Re: debt calls & e-mails
Is this a private debt or is it a collection company? Who is contacting you?
If you can document that the contact is harassing and serves no purpose, that you have made an agreement re the debt and continuing to contact you is serving no purpose, and this is seriously harassing and annoying, you could think about asking for an anti-harassment order.
Save the emails. Also, phone messages are fair game, but you cannot record phone calls. You can have messages transcribed.
If it is a commercial collector, alert the AG of this conduct and look up consumer attorneys at naca.org.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
