"I realize that I am behind in my payments and have every intention of repaying this debt as soon as my circumstances improve."

"In the meantime, I am making an official request that you cease calling the following numbers: (list home, cell, etc.)"

"If these calls do not stop, I will file a formal complaint about your company with my State's Attorney Genreral's office."
