Debt collectors ignoring cease-contact orders and calling workplaces
Collectors continue contacting consumers at their places of employment despite written cease-contact orders, violating FDCPA. Each call creates employment risk for the debtor and constitutes an independent violation, but enforcement requires the consumer to file a lawsuit. There is no real-time mechanism to enforce cease orders or block specific collector numbers.
