Collection agents are allowed to contact you at work in either of the following situations:
- they do not have your personal address or telephone number; or
- they have unsuccessfully attempted to contact you by telephone at home or were unable to contact the person who acts as guarantor.
If you have granted your authorization to be contacted at work, the agent is not limited to a single call.
