    Default Re: Are a Debt Collector's Calls to Google Voice Considered to be Telephone Contacts

    To clarify, I spoke to a lawyer in my county - the county where I am being sued - about my situation. She said that it is illegal for debt collectors to call more than once in one day. Whether this is under federal law, state law, or what I'm not sure. She mentioned something about cell phones and debt collection regulations, but I can't remember what. I'm also wondering, if I managed to countersue based on harassment by this creditor, if the creditor could weasel out of the regulation due solely to the fact that the number I gave them was a call forwarding number.

    There is no such restriction under federal law. I haven't found any such law for South Carolina but, if one exists, you can ask your lawyer to identify the statute for you.

    You can write them and tell them not to call you period. Not much point in further phone conversation if they're suing you. Let your lawyer handle it.
    Their violation of the FDCPA however won't magically cancel your debt.
