Another call from Allied Interstate

Got another voicemail today (this time I did not delete it). the message is as follows:

This is Mr. Johnson of the special services division of Allied Interstate. We have made numerous attempts to contact you regarding a past due Visa claim. The claim is being recalled for judgement or garnishment of wages for the litigation on the account. If we do not hear from you by 5:pm today, we will take that as a direct refusal to take care of this matter.


Again (just like on Wednesday), they are making these threats that it is being "recalled" (the other day they stated it was being recalled by the original creditor, but they didn't state that today. But today they added in the threat of garnishment of wages.

I hate the way these people work! I'm in Texas which has a SOL of 4 years. This debt is approaching 6 years, so I know the original creditor has no desire to get it back, and I know that they would have a seriously tough time pursuing any legal (correct?). Also, Texas does not allow garnishment of wages on debts.

Obviously I'm just ignoring this call. But did they break any laws on this message? I'm also very curious- they were calling me very rarely (at most once a month) for the past year. Now all of a sudden they are calling me 2 or 3 times a day. Anyone know why they would suddenly be bugging me so much? The only thing I can think that has changed is that I bought a new car 3 weeks ago. Would that purchase flag them to start hounding me again?
