tanglewood Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 am i correct in my interpretation that a CA cant talk to anyone but me about specific financial info (as per Section 804 subsection 1-3 and Section 805b)? a CA called my folks (my previous listed address and phone # five years ago) twice for me, and gave them the lowdown: how much i owe, cost of lawyers fees if i didnt pay, and even how much they would settle for. i NEVER answer the phone, andi have an automated v/m message on my machine with just my number, not my name, so maybe he could claim he wasnt sure if it was my #.. but he did leave msg's for me on it. am i w/in my rights to file a complaint (BBB, FTC, atty gen) or threaten to do so if he calls them again? will it even make a difference?

illegal_alien Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 I believe collectors can talk to only following about the specifics of debt:1. Debtor2. Spouse of a debtor (some states you can't. eg. IA)3. Debtor's attorney4. Anyone debtor has given permission to talk toPersonally, I have talked to debtor's mom/dad if they pressed me what the call was about. Most of the time we don't though.
