Read the FDCPA. There are remedies.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (ftc.gov)

i am wondering if it's legal to send a blanket letter saying that your recording every phone call between you and the collector??

No. You need specific consent for each conversation. See CA Penal Code section 632.

Law section (ca.gov)

When you get the call say something like "Do I have your consent to record this conversation?" If the answer is "no" just hang up.

Receiving from whom?

Except for communicating certain threats and proposals to commit criminal activity, you are legally free to send any letter you want to anyone you want.

If your intent was to ask a different question regarding the legality of recording phone calls, the prior response has covered that.
