Country: United States
I have been receiving calls from Northland to our work for a CO- worker and we have told Northland that they need to call him at home and that we do not allow calls at work. Every single day they call and every single day I tell them that they are not to call him at work. I spoke with the employee he stated ran into some hard times a few years back and that this debt had expired on the statue of limitation and that it was sold to Northland and that they harrass him on his cell and at work. I don't know what to do to get the calls to stop her at his place of employment other than he may lose his job.
Northland are collectors who have no understanding of the law when it comes to a cease and desist at place of employment.

    Your coworker can send Northland a letter, mailed certified return receipt requested, notifying them that they have already been notified that he cannot receive their calls at work, and to cease communications.

    Under FDCPA, if they continue calling him at work, or continue demanding payment, after receiving that notice (verifiable via return receipt, or on the USPS website), they would be in violation, and he can sue them.

    Your coworker should contact a consumer attorney to review the CA's violations of FDCPA.  Since they already have "reason to know" that he cannot receive calls at work, based on your notification to them which they are ignoring, they are already in violation.  He might try www.naca.net to find an attorney in his state.
