A:
I'm sorry to hear that Spectrum disclosed your address to your ex without your consent. This is a serious breach of privacy and potentially puts your safety at risk. Here are a few steps you can consider taking:
1. File a complaint with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC): The CPUC regulates utility companies in California, including telecommunications providers like Spectrum. You can file a formal complaint with the CPUC's Consumer Affairs Branch.
2. Contact a legal aid organization or a private attorney: Seek legal advice to understand your rights and potential legal actions you can take against Spectrum for disclosing your personal information without consent.
3. Request a restraining order: If you feel threatened or unsafe due to your ex having your address, consider filing for a restraining order with your local court.
4. Enhance your personal security: Take steps to protect yourself, such as informing trusted friends and family about the situation, installing security cameras or alarms, and being cautious about your surroundings.
5. Consider moving: If you feel that your safety is compromised and you have the means to do so, consider relocating to a new address.
Remember, your safety is the top priority. Don't hesitate to contact law enforcement if you feel immediately threatened. It's important to document all communications with Spectrum and any incidents related to your ex for future reference.
