They can get that information from the credit bureaus and from any credit application(s) you've signed. Yes, its legal, as long as they don't use it for illegal purposes.

Isn't it illegal to veiw your personal credit application records. Wouldn't this be an invasion of the Privacey Act. Thank you.

No, not if they are collecting a debt.

Depends on who is doing the 'viewing' and for what purpose.

No. If anything, non-permissable access to your credit history would be a violation of the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act).

There are at least 17 lawsuits (!!) pending in various courts, including the US Supreme Court, asking if Obama is a natural born citizen (as req'd by Art II, Sec 1 of the US Constitution).

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!
