...circumstances to my ex partner,is that allowed?

kerry,

give us some more info. why did the company do it? what do you mean by ex-partner?

usually, disclosing the personal info is not allowed. that is called "the breach of privacy"

but there could be some circumstances, where a company can be justified to do so. so give us some more info and perhaps we will be able to respond you properly

No, it is not unless he is a co-signer for you in any way. You can sue them in indeed such is the case.

yes, if u have an aggreement before u broke up with her, and probably you forget it.

If you are legally divorced and they discussed events/circumstances that occured after the divorce, then no way is that allowed! If you weren't married, this still holds true. It's called client confidentality. Accountants, lawyers, doctors, financial advisors, etc can't discuss your affairs with any other client. Even if it is your ex.

If you gave the company your ex-partners name to discuss matters for you incase you weren't there, then yes they can. If not, then no. If you did give them permission you need to contact them and remove your ex's name from there system.You usually need some sort of securtiy question, e.g. social security number, before a company will talk about information with you. If your ex knew your security question, they might have just thought it was you.

Did you default on a loan that your ex co-signed with you?

personal circumstances? these are information which can be taken from any other source. there is nothing confidential about these. it may even be contained in public records. unless it be your financial transactions which are teated with confidentially either because the law provides for it or your agreement with the company states it so, personal circumstances may be disclosed without liability
