Debt Collector Disclosed Personal Debt Info to Employer Without Legal Basis
A third-party collection agency contacted a consumer's employer and sent documents containing personal debt information without consent, a court judgment, or any legal authorization. The unauthorized employer contact jeopardized the consumer's employment at a federal contracting company and added collection fees not authorized by the original agreement. This is an egregious FDCPA violation with immediate real-world employment consequences.
