Privacy loss exists on several levels. I know that when I applied to re-finance my mortgage, the bank was going to look up my credit history. What I didn't know was that the credit agency was going to sell my info to other (multiple) lending agencies, who sent me offers. Most states allow the Motor Vehicle agencies to sell the data on licensed drivers, including traffic violations. The deed on your house, car loans, etc. are all publicly available. That's what has to be stopped! I should be able to control who sees my financial and other private information. We don't need another federal agency to do this, just some simple comprehensive laws. The Do Not Call List worked. Maybe a Do Not Give Information list is in order.
