What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
My husband has a car loan with Chrysler Financial. It is in his name only. He is currently running 30 days behind, however he makes a payment every month. Of course, they call and are so arrogant when we speak with them that we have decided it's best not to speak with them and continue to make the monthly payment (alebit a month behind).
Here's the issue -- they contacted MY elderly father who lives in NY (we live in VA) and left a message on his answering machine that said they were from Chrysler Financial and were trying to get in touch with (insert husband's name here). Of course, my last name is different than my father's now and my name isn't even on the loan. I was livid and called them and told them NOT to contact him anymore as my name is not on this loan.
Question - is this legal?? Are they allowed to contact people that are not related to the person in debt?
Thanks for your answers in advance!
