Tell them: 'I prefer to communicate in writing. Please send all correspondence by mail.' This creates a paper trail and prevents manipulative phone tactics. You can legally require written communication.
Use your FDCPA § 1692g rights immediately. Send a certified validation letter demanding proof of the debt's validity, amount, original creditor, and collector's authority to collect.
Legal: send letters, call between 8am-9pm, file lawsuits. Illegal: threaten arrest, use profanity, call your employer after being told to stop, misrepresent the amount or legal status, contact third parties about your debt.
