Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
I need help quick!
I have a car loan that received a lat payment for May 2008 (I sent it a week late). I have had this loan for about 13 months (with excellent payment history).
The bank, the day prior to receiving the payment, called an old friend whom I had listed on my refferences application and gave him my account number, the amount due, and the date it was due with instrucutions on how to western union the money.
He then sent this info to my job via fax essentially making fun of me for “not paying my bills”. My supervisor got the fax and questioned me about it (everything was on there, account number, etc.).
I called the bank the next day (they were closed that day) and they said they received payment. I asked them about why they did what they did and they said that they were allowed to and there was little I could do.
Long story short, they are a privatley owned bank in CA, non FDIC member, non National bank. Other than the state attorney general and the FTC, what options do I have to report them for making that third party disclosure?
I work at a brokerage and am an affiliated member of the SEC, this act just about cost me my job (I just graduated from college) and just about opened up an investigation by the SEC. I’m in CO BTW.
I’m not sure what to do, they marked my CR 30 days late already (which is a small concern of mine next to their 3rd party disclosure).
Thanks for any posssible suggestions….I really appreciate it.
