Re: car loan people

They may be engaging in wire-fraud, or violating the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act. Look into the FDCPA, as you may be able to prevent them from calling you at all... and require all contact to be made in writing.

As for the criminal component, contact the U.S. Attorney's office for your city. Also consider making a report to your phone company... they don't like being "gamed" this way.
