Protection of confidential customer information is our No. 1 priority, and we are taking aggressive action to ensure that any threat to privacy is eliminated immediately.

1st Source Information Specialists continues to display egregious disregard for privacy, and previous industry-driven actions do not appear to have deterred their illegal activities. We can assure our customers that we will make every effort to put these services out of business.

The schemes perpetrated by these online data brokers are intolerable and our intent is to put an end to these practices. These online data brokers attempt to manipulate our customer service resources and detract from service provided to legitimate customers.

As we dig deeper into the origins of this fraud, we've determined that, in some cases, companies with no Internet presence whatsoever are handling the dirty work for these online operations. We indicated previously that we would take any action necessary to eliminate this threat, and we are following through on that promise to our customers.
