PaHunkboy, the US company that they are calling from is the company that is liable and can be sued for harassment. But more so the recording of the call comes into play when or if the company takes you into court for a judgment or garnishment. A company cannot harass you, so they would be very careful in taking people to court if they are harassing them and believe the person has proof of said harassment -- i.e., recorded calls, proof of continuous calling per day, threats, harassment. And harrassment of debt collectors can come into play if a person is sued for a judgment by a company. I am not sure if you are speaking of debt collecting company's or telemarketers. In the US you put your numbers on DO NOT CALL registry and make a complaint if you are called for telemarkets
Your thinking that no one will ever be sued and acceptance of same is why these company's believe they can do what they do. If you start fighting back and turning the tables against them, things change. The problem is when people make excuses about why nothing can or is being done and just sit back and not be proactive.
