Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts
Am still a bit upset about this. I was at work yesterday and a guy from the office came in.We sat in the lobby. He pulled up my credit history my job history and my driving history. I was made to explain my debt to him and why i was in so much debt. I was very embarrassed. Never heard of this before . we were in a open lobby with customers and employees around.!!!

An unauthorized pull of your credit report could not only be an invasion of privacy it could also be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. But, you may have signed authorizations to obtain your records when you were hired. If so, you might only be looking at an action for the pubic disclosure of this information in the open lobby. In which case, it would likely not be worth the cost of the action unless you could prove some specific monetary damages (beyond the embarrassment).
