Judge: Debt agency can't contact woman on Facebook

A Florida judge has ordered a debt collection agency to not use
Facebook or any other social media site in an attempt to locate a
woman over a $362 unpaid car loan. Judge W. Douglas Baird also ordered
Mark One Financial LLC of Jacksonville, Fla. to refrain from
contacting the woman's family or friends on Facebook.

The order is part of a lawsuit that Melanie Beacham filed last August
against the debt collection agency. According to court documents,
Beacham said Mark One sent messages to her and her family on the
Facebook networking site to have her call the agency about the debt.
