Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
Debt Collection Practices
I have a debt with an old landlord.I saw the owner of property 11/1.The next day they wrote on the car of the tenant I saw, "M- the devil is looking for you. Pay your debt." One week later, they went to another tenant on this property (who I go to church with)and told him my entire debt history.They gave him copies of the demand letters.They told this tenant to go to my pastor and tell him everything. Now, my reputation at church is bad. Is this legal?Aren't there rules or ethics that business owners follow?I have 2 small children at home, I fear for them now.
