I have a debt collector that ia calling and coming to my fathers house, I have told them several times that I do not or have not lived there ever. And to stop calling there. They have my phone number. What actions can I take?

I would advise you to have your father file a police report for harassment. You can also see the Fair Debt collections Practices Act online at ftc.gov. Lastly, if you need a bankruptcy for the debts you have, we practice in Columbus, contact us for a free consultation.

It is a violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act to contact a third party for anything other than location information without your express permission. From your short description it sounds as though both you and your father have claims against the collector. You should contact a consumer rights attorney near you, who specializes in the FDCPA. Check www.naca.net to find one. It should cost you anything
