Some Mortgage Lenders Abuse the Personal Information of Clients

Routinely those seeking financial services from mortgage lenders find that the information provided during the application process is used for other purposes. Online applications typically request social security number, date of birth, income, and personal worth. It is illegal to share the information with others, but lenders can make it available to affiliates.

The Missouri Office of State Courts Administrator has a new ally-the local pizza delivery restaurant, which has proven itself to be very good at tracking down people who owe the state money.

Renters Find Themselves Blacklisted

Some landlords deny housing to people based on private background checks that can rate renters as high-risk. Renters may not have anything wrong with thier credit scores or references, but derogatory information may be relayed to potential landlords by a for fee service used to screen housing applicants. Most renters do not know that these information services exist, nor what harmful information may be in the proprietary records of those companies.
