Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Virginia
Breech of Confidentiality
I am in a chapter 13. I am having deductions coming out of my check every 2 weeks. I was told by my lawyers and my payroll office that this is very confidential information. On yesterday a coworker of mine told me that My Director (the head of the company where I work)told her that I was being garnished, there is no reason why this information should have been released to her/my supervisor she does not need to know. What can I do about this I was told that this is called Breech of Confidentiality Awaiting your response.

Why not take the matter up with Your Director, i.e., the one who allegedly "spilled the beans", so to speak (as it used to be said in America in times past).
