Just to be sure:
Is it an individual account or joint account?
Have you ever authorized them in the past to talk to her about the account?
It is an Individual account. I have never authorized them to talk about the account with him. My husband has a separate account with them, When my husband called to make a payment they asked him when I would be making a payment, gave him the balance on the Loan and had him make a payment on my account.
What type of loan company is this - a bank or what?Do you also have checking or savings accounts with the lender?
Personal Loan Company not a bank.I have no checkig or saving account with the lender.
Then they violated your right to privacy and you can file an Civil Action against them.In fact, Louisiana recognizes all four common law invasion of privacy claims: intrusion upon solitude or seclusion, public disclosure of private facts (e.g., unreasonable publicity given to one's private life), false light privacy (e.g., publicity that normally places the other in a false light before the public), and appropriation of one's name or likeness. So you have substantial causes of action against them they only question would be your damages - did it cause you specific economic damages.Certainly you would win - but the question is - how much???
