collection calls

Overdue payment reminders

Collection calls are phone calls from creditors or debt collection agencies attempting to recover unpaid debts.

The calls range from polite reminders to aggressive demands, and are regulated by laws limiting when and how collectors may contact debtors: I've been dodging collection calls all week.

The term often carries connotations of financial stress and harassment.
