May a debt collector contact any person other than you concerning your debt?

If you have an attorney, the debt collector may not contact anyone other than your attorney. If you do not have an attorney, a collector may contact other people, but only to find out where you live and work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting such permissible third parties more than once but if they already have your phone numbers or location, there is no need to contact others.. In most cases, the collector is not permitted to tell anyone other than you and your attorney that you owe money.
