It would be useful to submit your complaint online through the consumer complaint form FTC http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/complaint.shtm (copy and paste into your browser).

The FTC does not resolve individual consumer problems, butdemand help to investigate anything illegal. You can also notify the tax collector to be aware of their rights and that if they insist on violating the FDCPA is willing to submit the complaint to the FTC.

Document as debt collectors, the name of the collection agencies, address, telephone number, date and time of all communication. This is certainly useful when you communicate with your state attorney general to filecomplaint.

Consider the hand of a tape recorder the next time a debt collector decides to go down the street and breaking the law.
