Take a look at this: [link to file which includes someone's personal Social Security Number removed by Creditnet] This is a bankruptcy filing for a collector that works for RMA, a collection agency. Please note that bankruptcy filings are public record and the Bankruptcy Court in Minnesota currently allows all Internet users to view the filings for free at their website at http://www.mnb.uscourts.gov Tim
Creditnet: Although the filing referenced above is a matter of public record, Creditnet has no desire to foster identity theft. It is unfortunate that many courts do not better safeguard personal Social Security Numbers, since that is the key which unlocks all manner of fraudulent activity. Even though the courts often don't provide that protection, this site will endeavor to do so when possible. We ask that members refrain from posting links to similar sites -- whether governmental or private sector -- which handle such matters so carelessly. CCN steve
