    They can phone you.

    How often they can phone you is another matter.

    They have to stop once you have repaid your debt.... try that.

    Mmmm grey area... I would suggest you send them a letter by recorded post stating that you request all correspondance from this point forward is in writing only. Apart from the fact many of them call at unsocial hours it will help you keep a paper trail of everything and no agreements discussed over the phone can be forgotten or misfiled or just not added to your account notes due to badly trained staff. Once it's in writing both you and they have evidence of things being done and what was agreed etc
    If you are struggling with your debts however then please think about contacting one of the organisations in my signature for help sooner rather than later.

    I always thought a moron who was somebody who spent money they did not have and unable to repay.
    Perhaps I'm wrong but paying back my debts on time works for me.
