It's just sad to see anything like this in our neighborhood.

There is a wealth of information that people can collect about you online, more than many of us know about. Many companies out there, particularly banks, do their best to guarantee security and ensure your information is guarded, but nothing is for sure.

Consumers have lost billions of dollars -- one group put a $500 billion price tag on the amount of money consumers and pension funds and others have lost through corporate scandals. Consumers need greater assurance that somebody's watching out for their interest.

Target advertising and things like that hit you, and they're annoying, but that's really only half the concern. The real concern is what kind of information is being collected about you, if your bank is doing something with it, and whether you know about it or not.

Reporting positive history opens up customers to competitors -- that's good for consumers. They sell everything else about you but they don't give this up. I think that frustrates a lot of people.

There's a role for everyone to play in fighting the bad guys. The way we get better is through working collectively.

You've pulled yourself up. You're making all your payments. If your good payment history is not reported, you're stuck and you have no idea.

It appears that this is a win for consumers. This bill would definitely fix some of the accounting problems that we've seen crop up ... over the last six months.
