How do we put a stop to these annoying calls?

Collection companies are very persistent.
That's how they get paid.
If you were sheltering a debtor, you would probably say you don't know that person.
If you have caller ID, don't answer your phone when their number appears.
If you don't have caller ID, just put down the receiver after they identify themselves and walk away.
If it really intolerable, call your provider and ask for a different number.
