Creditors Interchange - Bank Of America violating personal privacy, Legal Threats, suspicious representives saying they have power to sue you.Nationwide

I believe that Creditors Interchange is violating privacy laws. Three representatives have been telephoning my parents and telling them that they have paperwork on their desk to sue me and take legal action if I don\'t pay by the end of the month. They also have been asking my parents about my income, work status, and contact info.

Is this a violation of my privacy for creditors interchange to call my parents and telling them that I face a lawsuit and will be sued if I don't make a payment by the end of the month. They also told my parents and even a possible old roommate how far in debt my Bank of America account is along with their threats against me and that they have a legal case number which happens to be the same number as their way to pull up my debt account through their agency which seems suspicious.

I feel that they crossed the line by giving my personal information about my debt owed to Creditors Interchange to someone else other than myself.

The last time I spoke with Creditors Interchange they told me that they have been sending info and trying to call my old roommate's place. I suspect that they are violating my privacy there too and talking to him about my business.

I know that other collection agencies can't give any info about you to anyone-- even family members unless you consent to it. Does anyone know if this is actually legal???

I would appreciate any responses, thank you :)
