I’m in debt that I’m trying to get under control. I found out recently that the collections agency called looking for me at a job that I left a year ago, they told my ex boss that I had a debt, and they told him how much it was. Is this legal? I know they can call your employer, but telling some random person that I have debt and telling them how much seems to be going too far. Even if I no longer work there it is embarrassing as I still have a friendly relationship with this previous boss.
