That's rarely the case. Debt collection agencies will absolutely hound you and your relatives, damn the laws, to try and milk value from you, for quite some time. They will then go to conferences and brag about how they have tricked people into claiming debts, the ways they have harassed people, and other atrocious things.

This, once you start parroting your rights as a consumer, they’re quick to back off.
