Complaint Review: Certegy Check Services Fidelity Information Services

If your name was one of those stolen, you should be receiving a post card with information of a class action settlement as well as a phone number you may call and a website you may go to for more information on how to find out if you are part of the class action, forms you can fill out, the actual settlement terms and what you need to do to opt out and so forth. If you do NOT want to be bound by the settlement you have until August 1, 2008 to exclude yourself.

Personally, the only ones who win out on these class action suits are the lawyers, the people who actually were effected by this can get one year of credit monitoring for free plus identity theft insurance..... big whoop, what are the lawyers making off this deal?

I could provide the website and phone number but I do not think that RipOffReport will allow me to post them :-( I would ask the editors at RipOffReport to verify this info and then please publish it for those who do not know about this.

As I said MATE the data was stolen by an employee. He sold it to telemarketing firms. The telemarketing firms assisted by providing info about the employee and what HE sold them (not Certegy).

The info he took was info that he had everyday access to (he was a database analyst after all), pretty much like you may have access to info that your company may consider their property but you have the right to access it. From what I heard they have made some changes.

Pay more than likely had nothing to do with it. He did it out of spite because Certegy got bought by Fidelity and several hundreds of Certegy folks got laid off.

For all I or anyone else knows he may have been given notice. Since Certegy and Fidelity tried to do the right thing by these folks by letting them continue to work instead of just dumping them like other companies do (but I guess this is the thanks they get).

Steven when I called after receiving the letter they told me the employee stole the information and sold it to direct marketing firms.

When I asked what happened to the employee they said he was arrested and charges are currently pending. They further told me they have sent out requests to all the firms who bought the information to get the information returned to them.

My suggestion is, your company maybe blowing smoke up your *Beep* to keep you loyal. Keep in mind it all flows down hill.

I would love to support my company if something like this happened, and give them the benefit of the doubt. However as someone who has now had a lot of crazy things happen since this incident and so forth it is very concering. Especially in this day and age with identity theft. They can't get away with not protecting our secure information.

I can assure you I had no idea about someone starting a company and so on, but I do know when I called them about the letter they confirmed it was stolen and sold by this guy.

My suggestions are the people who were victims need to file against this firm. There is no way they can get away with this. We need to educate people who don't think this is NOT a problem, like you, on the dangers of consequences of what happens afterwards.

I am guessing from the Dude comment your younger without a lot of experience in getting victimized at the hands of someone else. (maybe your not) But this is concering and people need to be more careful while working in this kind of industry.

Ok, I got a letter from them where my information was sold! I had gotten tons of junk mail all of a sudden. This is so alarming!

We need to file a class action lawsuit of our own. I am going to file my own ripoff report too on this. I just didn't know what to do. Any information on pending litigation that you hear of please post it. I will do the same!

This is so scary! People do get away with things now a days, I don't know how, but it is so wrong!

Whats the problem? I am a consumer just like anyone else around here. I have been browsing the reports like anyone else around here much like you. I saw someone post something that wasn't true and commented about it. Wouldn't you do the same if someone said something about a company you worked for (or used to work for) and someone posted a lie??

No doubt alot of companies browse these reports and comment on them. Last I saw Ed obviously supports that idea.

Since finding out about Ripoffreport.com's existence, I have found it amusing to scroll through and read the different rip off reports on the site. What I really find amusing is when a company (and I have find several on this site) has an employee to moniter a site like this to reply to the rip off reports against the company. Why would they have a moniter for a site like rip off report? Could it be, their feeling guilty of something?

You have been mis-informed as to what happened. The data was stolen by an individual that was fired. For further info you should check out the Fidelity web site for news.
