They called my mother!!!

They can contact others to attempt to 'locate' you. If you are in contact with them, there is no need to 'locate' you so they should not be calling around.

When you originally opened an account/applied for credit you probably had to give 'closest relative' type information. They could have her # that way.

Ok..I am beyond furious!!! I just got a call from my mother, this poor senior citizen lady who is just about in tears asking why the credit union is looking for me?! WTH!! I thought it was illegal for them to contact someone about my debts? I was so ticked off....I have called the credit union & let them know & I have called my attorney....so what recourse do i have here? I keep my parents out of all my financial business so they know nothing & needless to say she is a nosy busy body anyhow, so this will NOT be good....I don't even know how they got her info....Ugghhh!

If I'm not mistaken, you haven't filed yet.

They can contact anyone about your debt, they just can't discuss the debt with them.

Edited to add: If you have filed then most certainly get your attorney involved with putting
a stop to their phone calls.
