The Ameriquest Dumpster

11Alive.com reports:

“DeKalb police have found boxes of sensitive information from a mortgage company carelessly tossed in the trash.

The mortgage company – Ameriquest — may ring a bell. It closed up shop in Georgia nearly two years ago amid allegations of predatory lending.

So why, now, are hundreds of customers’ personal files showing up in a very public place? It is the last place one would expect to find hundreds of confidential mortgage files — in a dumpster behind a DeKalb County apartment complex.

“They basically contain mortgage applications from Ameriquest customers,” said DeKalb Deputy Police Chief Mike Burrows.

Boxes and boxes of tax returns, credit histories and social security numbers. Strange, considering Ameriquest stopped doing business in Georgia nearly two years ago amid allegations of predatory lending.”
