I was notified that the company/sole owner that I am XXXX to ( I am an XXXX ) was contacted by the debt collection law firm Messerli & Kramer asking questions about me and although told I was not a employee but rather XXXX was asked to verify my name and my social security number. The owner did not give out this information however the collection law firm proceeded to state my name and social security number as well as other personal information to the owner ( my XXXX XXXX ) considered third party and asked if it was correct. This is illegal, an invasion of confidential information and a privacy issue.
