Is there a time limit in place for how long ago debt harassment calls were made? I used to get called upwards of 5 times a day by some debt collectors for a person I've never heard of (most likely gave them a false number that happened to be mine). Every time I tried telling them they had the wrong number, they would hang up on me. When I called back, sometimes it would go to a robot. Other times it would be a person or voicemail. I would tell them they had the wrong number but I kept getting called. The numbers would change, but only the last two digits, so I ended up blocking the numbers to stop the harassment.
It's gotten less bad lately. Now it's only once a month, if that. But it started in late 2013 and was really bad through mid-late 2014.
