Inquiry alone is not sufficient to invade your privacy, there must be some intent to cause harm to you or to publish your information. The easiest thing that you can do is hang up the phone, you have no legal obligation to speak to another person's creditors.

It takes more then that and is probably inappropriate, but the roommate has no obligation to answer and shoudl hang up the phone. Then the collector can be reported to teh Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General's Office.
