“Originally we were discussing collection companies which violate the law. You supported their illegal activities.”
Oh, and by the way, research is your friend, not only when picking a contractor (who screwed up 32 homes), but when spouting off about subjects here on FR.
It is not illegal as you previously advised someone, to contact a 3rd party, they can do so to get your personal information, address, phone numbers, etc., though it may be embarrassing, and that is usually the intent I reckon.

Got a problem with those laws or the interpretation? Change them. Also, while your at it, you should work towards better licensing in FLA, I just briefly looked into it, and it is almost non-existent.
But what do you care about whats legal, right?
