If you have been getting collection calls from Radius Global Solutions, LLC at your job and you want to make the collection calls stop you can. It’s not illegal for a collection company to call you at work, but you do have the right to not be harassed by collection companies.
If you are getting calls from debt collectors at work you can tell them that your boss forbids collection calls at your job or you can tell them just to stop calling and they have to stop.

Methods for Stopping Debt Collectors From Calling You
If you are getting debt collection calls at work you can deal with them in a couple of different ways. The easiest way is to just not take the calls. You have the right to ignore their calls.

You can also send them a written notice telling them to stop calling you. After you send a written notice they cannot legally call you again.
