    I hope this is in the right section mods,basically my sister has an outstanding mobile phone bill with a certain operator for 106 euro.
    She is 23 recently graduated and out of work hence she told them it will have to be next month before she can pay it.
    There calling her all the time even on Saturdays and demanding payment.
    What is the law here can she be contacted several times per day as is the case or is there a maximum amount of times they can make contact.
    Thanks

    Demands for payment of debt causing alarm, etc.

    11.—(1) A person who makes any demand for payment of a debt shall be guilty of an offence if—

    (a) the demands by reason of their frequency are calculated to subject the debtor or a member of the family of the debtor to alarm, distress or humiliation, or

    (b) the person falsely represents that criminal proceedings lie for non-payment of the debt, or

    (c) the person falsely represents that he or she is authorised in some official capacity to enforce payment, or

    (d) the person utters a document falsely represented to have an official character.

    (2) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £1,500.

    A call to comreg may also help and they can advise her on what to do.
