| | Invasion Of Privacy Tort Rarely Applies To Debt Collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | A person is subject to liability to another for invasion of privacy when one "intentionally intrudes, physically or otherwise, upon the solitude or seclusion of another or his private affairs or concerns. |
 | | For example, in 1975, the Minnesota Supreme Court, although refusing to recognize an invasion of privacy tort, did analyze the issue in the context of a creditor publicly disclosing a debtor's debt. |
 | | Debtors cannot prevail on an invasion of privacy claim simply because the debt collection efforts result in reasonable intrusions upon the debtor's seclusion or embarrassment or inconvenience to the debtor. |
