My son has unpaid bills, and a collection agency calls me frequently. I have told him on three occasions that this is not my son's telephone number and to stop calling me. I have refused to help him contact my son. He is very abrasive and often hangs up on me. Is there a way to stop him from harassing me?

You can file a consumer complaint with our office. We have great success getting debt collectors off the backs of people who are incorrectly targeted. This is becoming a bigger problem all the time. Debt is often sold from one company to the other. With each sale, the records get more blurry, and collectors more aggressive. Thus, lots of mistakes and lots of obnoxious behavior by the collector. By the way, even if you do owe the debt, there are still limitations on what debt collectors can do. The Federal Trade Commission offers a summary of your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
