For the purposes of law, if I call you all day (for whatever reason)... Then I am harassing you. Even if I had a supposed valid reason, I would need to use the right channels and calling someone's mother all day is not a legal channel.
Care to cite that law?

Some info

Section 43 of the Telecommunications Act, 1984

Also, in The Protection from Harassment Act 1997

There is a point when things pass from annoying to actual harassment, debts and situations aside... So, 500 calls a day is illegal, no matter what is involved.

I would have thought that was common sense.

Stop quoting the FDCPA, people. It DOES NOT APPLY TO ORIGNIAL CREDITORS.

That is why I posted the section that defines a debt collector... that point should have been obvious to all reading the provision.
