• Leaving messages that do not identify them as debt collectors
• Calling you at work after you’ve told them that your employer won’t let you take such calls
• Refusing to prove that a debt is valid and they are authorized to collect it
• Ignoring a formal cease communications request
• Calling at all hours of the day and night
