emp.verification

It is really up to your company policy. When I was working collections doing student loan garnishments, we had to call to verify....some companies did, some didnt. Often if they didnt we we use the automated dialing system to find the debtors name on file....that was enough verification for us.

without a court order or employee permission you are not allowed to give any information regarding an employee beyond a yes or no to confirmation of employment to a third party. the employee could sue you

Not true. It all comes down to company policy.

Another thing....if you work a public job, county, city or state, your salary is public information. You just need to know where to look. Finding out salaries is easy peasy.....used to do it all the time without the payroll debt. Would just call hr to ask what the starting salary was for a certain position....that would be after talking up the switchboard operator or coworker for their postion title. There is always ways around it.

you are not allowed to give out socials...

Well obviously.....

well that is what this company did to me

Yep, that's a question to ask your boss. I worked in HR before too, and that company required a signed letter in the mail only, bot the request from the company, and a Release letter granting permission by the Person involved.

Most creditors have your SS number and will use it to verify if asked.

I had a CA fax in a request to my employer, it already had may name and last four of my ss# filled in, they wanted company name, date of hire, salary, position, etc. Guess what it didn't work, it was given to me first and I told them that I would not authorize any of they info to be released. I don't know why they would want it, I live in Texas and they can't garnish my wages anyway.

Student loans can garnish in texas....

Don't have student loans or child support or tax liens, just credit card debt and medical bills.
