Debt collection agencies should not be allowed to call a person's work phone to get ahold of them.
Laws are different for collection agencies than they are for the actual lender. The lender has more leeway as to when and where they can call, but neither may discuss any aspect of your account, including the intent of the call, with anyone but you. Collection agencies must stop calls to your place of business if notified by the debtor that such calls are prohibited by the employer. Lender's often abide by the same rules as collection agencies when doing their own internal collections to be safe from a legal perspective and because anything that boarders on harassment rarely results in recovered dollars.
9:00 p.m. debtor's time zone, seven days a week including holidays. The debtor has no legal obligation to communicate with collection agents/agencies.
Usually debt collection agencies only call if you have not paid a bill to one of their clients. Sometimes they come from credit card companies, health care companies, or student loans.
Collection Agencies collect debts people owe to places like a bank. They will normally call you or send letters, reminding you of the debt. If they go through the proper legal channels they can do much more. Also they are allowed to negotiate with the debtor to retrieve some portion of the debt.
If told not to contact a person at work, collection agencies cannot contact a that person at work. Similarly, they are not allowed to call at ridiculous, inconvenient times, such as at two in the morning.
as many times as they wish. if it's late at night a complaint can be made to the police

Collection agencies are companies that work on behalf of creditors to collect debts or obligations from their holders. Receiving a call from one could indicate unrepaid credit.
