Something that might help!

Ever hear of a guy named Dave Ramsey?  He's out of Nashville and a no-nonsense financial adviser with a national radio show and a show on the Fox Business Network.  I found this on his website (http://www.daveramsey.com/etc/cms/q&a_collectors_7039.htmlc).  It's an excerpt of a page with a lot of good information. 

"Collectors are calling my parents and neighbors about my debt:  This is illegal but not uncommon. Again send a certified letter that you are aware they have violated the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by releasing private information and should it continue you will document the misbehavior for purposes of a lawsuit."

Best of luck to you with this!
