Can a private company talk with a third party regarding my debt?

A private company has called my family and friends to discuss my debt with them. This company has also called me after 9 pm at night and sent papers that looks to be from a court to my job and to me. However, the papers are only written by the company there are no official seals or judge signatures on them.
