If you want to stop calls to your home from collectors you will need to use this tactic.
Cease and Desist- Phone Calls Only
This means that you can ask the debt collector to stop calling you and correspond by mail only in the future.
To use this method simply send the collector a letter asking them to cease and desist with all phone calls in relation to the alleged debt [account #xxxx]. Please correspond by mail only.
According to the FDCPA the debt collector must abide with your wishes, end of story.
If you just want to limit the phone calls you can tell the debt collector your "off limit hours" that you won't except calls or just screen your calls and let them go to voice mail and third,
You can use a speaker phone and a simple recorder to record calls from the collector. At the beginning of each call, simply notify the collector that your recording the call. They probably won't want to talk as much or as long, maybe not at all, when you do this.
I hope this is helpful, Dutch
