QUESTION
Is it Legal for Collectors to release all my information?
Asked on Jul 18th, 2014 on Collections - Florida
More details to this question:
A tmobile debt collector called my brother house looking for me. When he answered the phone, the collector released all my information to him. When I spoke to a supervisor (Juan Saldo) he stated that the male caller stated he was my husband. So can anybody just say yes they are related me or they are my "spouse" and my information instantly get released?

Not typically. This may be violation of the Florida Collections Practices Act wher eyou might be entitled to get up to $1,000.00 in damages. This may be tainted a bit though, if the person lied about thier ID in regard to the disclsoure.
