Debt collectors can not lie to you or use deceptive methods in trying to collect a debt ( this is very vague and can be a great tool for you ).

Leave a message on an answering machine without saying that the collector is trying to collect a debt ; he must leave his name and his company.

Sue or even threaten to sue on a debt that you have not made a payment on for more than four years ( CA other states differ ).

Say or imply anything about arrest, going to jail, or the like.

Threaten to sue you when the collector has no intention of doing so [ this usually happens when you have been given a deadline to do something ( usually make a payment ) and if the deadline goes and they have not sued you, that is a violation ].
