trying to collect from the person who had my number before me

They called and but never said why they were calling for that person. Left their number and just hung up. RUDE

called and stated who they were calling for but would not say who they were.

Suspect it's us collections they called my former boss to get info on me. Clearly against the law considering they are being investigated right now by expetian on their bad judgement

A  female named lindy James called my mother in law after skip tracing her phone and address. stated that her daughter my wife was having a medical emergency and needed information! But refused to give her any details. Little does she know the calls have been recorded! You can only imagine the thoughts my in law was having hearing this. Lindy James gave my in law a reference # to call her back. This is very illegal! This is not 1st party collections . F.D.C.P.A does apply & must be followed. I have called this company prior to the illegal call and gave the same person our attorney info. They are required by federal law to stop all contact with debtor and obtain info from attorney. They have now called at least 3 more times to my in laws home! I’m filling complaints to the federal trade commission, among others. The collector is looking at a 1000$ fine & the collection agency is also responsible for fines.

While you have a good grasp of the bad behavior and were wise to record it, you lost me in your final sentence. It sounds like you think the FTC has staffers sitting idle who can prosecute individual cases. The $1k is not a "fine", it's your maximum statutory damage award from a successful lawsuit. The Act also awards reasonable legal fees, charged to the loser. You want some payback, you'll have to gather those audio tracks and notes and get it yourself. You should have a tough case to beat which settles out rapidly. I guess you want the deceitful agent and her employer to be co-defendants to double-dip awards, but I'm not sure you'll convince a consumer lawyer to run that play.
