I have a collection agency that keeps calling me at work. Is this legal?

No. Debt collectors may not contact you at work if you tell them (orally or in writing) that you’re not allowed to get calls there. Also, a debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it.
