"Much of the article appears to be amateurish and hostile in tone, especially the last paragraph at the time of this post. - MSTCrow 18:35, 25 July 2007 (UTC)"
Actually you are wrong. Much of the article is correct, my father is one those 3 million people who got their credit history destroyed by this employee. And who gave you the right to judge this article like high school term paper. Oh grow up!!!
Everyone has the right to judge the article, that's how it works around here. Although I don't see the point of calling anything amateurish. After all, this IS the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. I agree that most of the article doesn't really come from a neutral point of view. --75.93.149.229 20:03, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Victim's Page: I received a letter from Certegy stating that my banking account information was stolen and sold to data brokers. I AM ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS! I've taken the last 5 days off of work to try and take the necessary steps to protect my identity, change bank accounts, put fraud alerts at the major Credit Bureaus, etc. I AM DEFINITELY interested in a class action law suit, and/or plan on contacting my own attorney on Monday. Apparently my bank (Wachovia)'s fraud dept had not even heard of the incident. After going to 3 branches, and no one knew anything about it, I finally called the bank’s FRAUD Dept and they issued me a case number. My question is: if Certegy notified the financial institutions, why didn't my bank notify me? if my bank is "on top" of it, aren't they liable for protecting me and notifying me? Who is liable for future incidents that may occur relating to my identity since it is now available and sold to so many different data brokers? Am I to be responsible for all of the potential legal fees involved with correcting my credit history, my banking, and all of my associated banking records? debit cards, Visa, Master Card, mortgage, and everything else under the sun? The Certegy letter and also Wachovia recommends filing a police report. I tried that but the City of Raleigh police said that they can't file a report unless something has happened to my credit and there is an actual incident. That's just great! So I have to put in several hours a week monitoring my credit with each of the 3 Credit Bureaus? and which, by the way, they already have incorrect data and have me associated with another person in Virginia who has my same name. What a fricking mess. Idiots. Didn't Certegy make sure their employees were BONDED and INSURED and fingerprinted, just as ALL banking employees must be? no matter what their position?````Jenn in Raleigh

There is no NPOV issue here. Certegy has done nothing worthy of positive mention, yet they are responsible for much criticism. The tag needs to go. 72.241.20.239 18:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Not so fast. Certegy is not reliable. My husband's purchase at Wolf Camera was rejected today. They use Certegy which gave a reading that he is a category 1 risk and to accept no checks. He then called his bank to verify that he had plenty of funds in his checking account and that no checks had bounced. From what I'm reading regarding on a multitude of various websites (including warnings from Certegy's on site that their staff is unable to call consumers), future prospects of writing checks at retail stores is bleak unless he closes his existing account and opens a new one. It is unacceptable behavior by a corporation in a fiduciary position of this nature to ignore the multitudes of complaints both on and off line without action. These complaints need to remain posted to Wikepedia and all such sights for consumer awareness ... like my husband, a brand new victim this day 11/17/07.
