Horrible!
But so typical!
The fact that outsourcing is done, these days,
is that a lot of these kinds of incidents
will be happening more and more, over in
Third World counties. And because those people
want to come over to North America, they will
risk cloaking their identity to come over, using
that information, quite likely.
Really disgusting on behalf of outourcers,
profit-mongerers and big corporations,
putting loyal customers at risk!

I was just about to post this after reading the article online.
At least it appears that everyone seems to be getting screwed by CIBC. The disturbing thing is that they truly don't seem to care.
I spent 5 years of my life working for CIBC Wood Gundy and the general attitude of the traders and sales teams fits with the cliché money hungry thieves. The majority of the company remains mid-back office people who never really found their 'calling'. The burocratic tangled mess could rival any beurocracy in the world.

Hey all:
Below is a copy of an email message I've sent to the Privacy Commissioner and to my MP. (Thanks, by the way, for posting the news story.)
I hope Canadians react to the unconscionable attitude of the CIBC.
Cheers,
A
Dear Privacy Commissioner:
This upsetting news regarding the CIBC's incompetence and lack of concern is shocking to all Canadians. That a financial institution should be so careless regarding clients' private information is unfathomable; this behaviour ought to be dealt with in the most severe of terms.
Yours sincerely,
Antonio XXXXX

I guess to err is human but to really mess things up requires a bank! I am glad that I don't have to deal with that bank. My provincial loan is handled through Roayl Bank and my federal loan is handled through hrdc. I still have 4 months to go on my bankruptcy protection, then I have to settle in for 2 and a quarter years of student loan payments before I reach the end of the 10 year rule.

Now CIBC has turned around and is suing this man for leaking private information.
To say they have nerve would be an incredible understatement. At what point does negligence become criminal?

What are the chances that the missing interest relief forms and missing documentation is in fact in west virginia. Has anyone contacted him? And I do not know how the CIBC can sue him. I thought he contacted the bank for years to stop faxing him. I think this man in w virginia could be our david to fight goliath.

wow unbelievable!!! i remember i went to CIBC yrs ago seeking a chequing account. and they said they need so much money for me to open one...keep it in for 5 months and i cant have it. another thing too 1996-1997 they allowed my child tax credit to be cashed by a girl for 1 whole yr. and i asked them how and why? they said a bunch of bs and they had no comment and they said if i asked again why they allowed the cashings with the other girl using her own id they would sue my a@@ so badly i would be a street bumb. also i let child tax know my new address....but they kept telling me it was going to be sent too new address they never did obliviously..big headache and bad bank.
