• Ignoring a formal cease communications request
• hreatening to ruin your credit forever
• Using profane or obscene language
• Using the phone to harass you
• Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Pretending to be lawyers or federal agents
• Contacting you directly even after you’ve hired an attorney to represent you in the matter
