But the law does not say that. As a matter of fact there is no legal limit in Federal Law as to how many times they can call you. There is a time limit of 8 am to 9 pm your time.

Now, if they leave a message or talk to you it is regarded as first contact and they now must do this:
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
