I called the Attorney Gnerals' office and confirmed. Anyone who had thier information stolen and brokered MUST contact thier banks and start protecting themselves! Though privacy seems to be extinct, there are layers of it that are still there, and that includes things like your social security number, your birthday, and the full account numbers on your credit cards and checking accounts! I am going to sue Certegy, and William Sullivan the thief, and the Marketing firms who bought the info too.I just need to find a lawyer.Anybody else want in? This is so real folks!

Until, now when I recieved couple of emails from Best Business Bureau stating that a company has filed a complaint on my behalf as I was a victim of ID theft. When I called up my bank Chase, the fraud department told me that this is a hoax mail and and advised me to ignore this mail. Also, I recieved the letter to an address that I used to work at aboutt a year back. Strange!!! Details of this care is all over the internet. Or is it really hoax :(.. If this is true, I strongly opine that a legal proceeding should be taken, so that companies dealing with personal information pull up their socks and get a rigid security system in place.

My bank, WAMU, also knew nothing about it. In fact, their customer service department told me to check with Certegy, even after I showed the the letter from Certegy! One thing that can be done is filing a complaint on line with the FTC at www.ftc.gov. I also received a letter from Certegy. My bank, WAMU, also knew nothing about it.

I received a letter from Certegy stating that my banking account information was stolen and sold to data brokers. I've taken the last 5 days off of work to try and take the necessary steps to protect my identity, change bank accounts, put fraud alerts at the major Credit Bureaus, etc. I AM DEFINITELY interested in a class action law suit, and/or plan on contacting my own attorney on Monday. Apparently my bank (Wachovia)'s fraud dept had not even heard of the incident. After going to 3 branches, and no one knew anything about it, I finally called the bank’s FRAUD Dept and they issued me a case number. My question is: if Certegy notified the financial institutions, why didn't my bank notify me? if my bank is "on top" of it, aren't they liable for protecting me and notifying me? Who is liable for future incidents that may occur relating to my identity since it is now available and sold to so many different data brokers? Am I to be responsible for all of the potential legal fees involved with correcting my credit history, my banking, and all of my associated banking records? debit cards, Visa, Master Card, mortgage, and everything else under the sun? The Certegy letter and also Wachovia recommends filing a police report. I tried that but the City of Raleigh police said that they can't file a report unless something has happened to my credit and there is an actual incident. That's just great! So I have to put in several hours a week monitoring my credit with each of the 3 Credit Bureaus? and which, they already have some incorrect data and have me associated with another person in Virginia who has my same name. What a fricking mess. Stupid idiots. Didn't Certegy make sure their employees were BONDED and INSURED and fingerprinted, just as ALL banking employees must be? no matter what your position?
