a. The collection agency will prevail if it can show it made a mistake because of being in a different time zone.
b. The collection agency will prevail because this is not extreme and outrageous conduct and calling at 1:00 a.m. is reasonable.
c. The debtor will prevail because this is extreme and outrageous conduct.
d. The debtor will prevail because of the "after 9:00 p.m. rule.".
