Claire is a widow who lives alone. She purchased a home theatre system from Green Eye Tech Supplies but failed to make her payments. People at Green Eye responded to this by calling her up repeatedly. They started making more than a dozen calls a day, including calls that were made well into the night. They then started sending multiple agents to Claire's office, informing her neighbors about the due payment and even had an agent deliver a notice to her when she was out shopping. Claire was admitted to the hospital with a nervous breakdown. What are her possible legal remedies against Green Eye?
What will be an ideal response?
Claire cannot recover for any type of defamation because the statements GreenEye communicated about her indebtedness were true. However, she does have a good chance of proving intentional infliction of emotional distress (intentional and outrageous conduct, severe emotional distress, physical symptoms) and invasion of privacy (publication of private facts and intrusion on solitude).
