Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, (FDCPA) and other federal and state regulations, it is unlawful for a collector to engage in the activity you described. You may want to consult directly with an attorney that handles FDCPA violation cases. As a more direct answer to yoru question, the number of times that a collector is allowed to call your family and friends to threaten your criminal arrest is zero.

Good luck
