• Calling at inappropriate hours (after 9 pm, and before 8 pm).
• Calling repeatedly over a short period of time
• Calling a debtor's place of employment and discussing your debt with another person or after you have requested that they do not phone your work
• Contacting a debtor after they have been told that the debtor has legal representation
• Impersonating an attorney in an attempt to collect the debt
• Threatening to sue or put the debtor in jail if they do not pay, or any threats that they cannot are merely to harass and untrue
