Have your parents tell them that their # is not a contact number for you and to not call again. If they do, retrieve the phone logs and submit it to the AG and the BBB.
The collection agencies will only stop calling by you sending them In writing a cease calling order with the details of which number not to call and the numbers they can call.

(1) identify himself, state that he is confirming or correcting location information concerning the consumer, and, only if expressly requested, identify his employer;
(2) not state that such consumer owes any debt;
(3) not communicate with any such person more than once unless requested to do so by such person or unless the debt collector reasonably believes that the earlier response of such person is erroneous or incomplete and that such person now has correct or complete location information;
(4) not communicate by post card;
(5) not use any language or symbol on any envelope or in the contents of any communication effected by the mails or telegram that indicates that the debt collector is in the debt collection business or that the communication relates to the collection of a debt; and
