When asked, however, the collector must give the true and full name of the employer to comply with this provision and avoid violating other sections of the FDCPA. An individual debt collector may use an alias if it is used consistently and if it does not interfere with another partys ability to identify him ( e.g., the true identity can be ascertained by the employer ), and the collection laws of his or her state allow the same. Telling a third party that you owe a debt is illegal! First, it may not be true thus unjustly damaging your reputation and second, it is simply nobody elses business. 15 U.S. Code 1692j ( a ) It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating.
