They DO need your permission to contact these places about you. Your records should be confidential unless you specifically agree to release them. Sometimes the intial paperwork you fill out for a new place contains a release, and with so much to fill out and not enough time to read it all, it can be easy to sign without really knowing that you're releasing your records. So if you have copies of the paperwork, check to see if it contained a release of information. Otherwise, your records should be protected.
Good luck today. I think the decision not to go away together is a wise one.
