In CA there is, yes, it's called the Rosenthal Act and it's California's tougher version of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Send them a cease and desist letter telling them never to bother you again as the debt is time-barred under CA law. Send it certified, RRR and keep copies of everything.
