Regards…

Did you give them your work number as a contact phone number?
If you owe them money I presume they are entitled to contact you by whatever means they are confident of getting through to you.

They are permitted to contact you by any means given to them - phone at home, mobile phone, work phone, email, letter, etc.

As you said, you owe them money. If you paid up, they wouldn't have need to chase you.

Someone obviously gave them your work number.
