Q: I have recently purchased a vehicle and finance company sends loan information to my employer
Purchased a vehicle yesterday, submitted proof of income (check stubs) as well as contact information to my corporate office to verify employment. Finance company contacts me to say no one was answering the phone at corporate, so I gave her an email address to send the verification. With the verification document they also sent my credit application to my job, including my husbands information (co signer) as well as all the vehicle info. Vin, cost, down payment, interest rate etc. to me this seems like a violation of privacy because the is no reason my job needs to know that information.
A: While I agree that they sent more information than was probably necessary, you don't have any apparent damages as a result of this action, and no claim arises from the facts you describe.
