consumer privacy rights

[bluedue]

I deposited money at my bank via the drive-thru. Before depositing my check, I wrote on envelope for teller to give me the balance on another account. When all transactions were completed, the teller repeated my request for amount in my account over the intercom, everyone heard the amount i had in my account, including my husband. My husband and I are currently separated, and we were beginning to patch things <slowly>. This idiot has caused a real problem with my husband all over again!!!! He is now suspicious, and will not speak. Is there a law to protect a consumers right to privacy within a bank? I am sooo angry over this matter I am willing to take legal action. Is ther anything I can do?

OK, so you bring your husband with you to a bank transaction where you want to keep financial things hidden from him?

And then you expect absolute privacy form a teller even though you never asked for the answer in writing or mentioned that a verbal response was unwelcome?

And you think the bank is at fault? Look to yourself.

Personally, I find the teller using the intercom to give you your balance a bit unprofessional, but hardly illegal. She was, as pointed out already, addressing your request.

If you are that upset, complain to the manager.

this is just me, but who cares if someone else knows how much money you do or don't have. They can't get to it. What Veronica said, if it's made you that upset, take it up with the manager.
