Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

Calls on a family members debt

A collection company has called me several times on merchandise I did not order. It was ordered by my father to lives in another state. It was delivered to him not me. I have told them who the responsible party is and his number yet they still call me. Tomorrow I am going to send them a certified letter to stop. Can I or my father sue them for discussing their account?

Re: Calls on a family members debt

A collection agency is not allowed to discuss your account with 3rd parties. So when the collection agency discussed your father�s account with you, they violated the FDCPA, and your father would have the right to sue them.

If your father wishes to pursue this, have him contact me at [email protected].
