I had a collection agency call for an old debt that I forgot about.

As a receptionist I've taken messages for coworkers that I know are credit card companies calling because of missed payments. They never actually say that, they just leave a name and phone number. So it's not collection agencies, but I would think the principle would be the same. I don't what the actual legal requirements are though.

Discussing debt with anyone but the responsible party is a violation of federal law.
