y name is Gary E. Wood, my phone number is 512 347 1492.
The GLB legislation places an unnecessary burden on collection
companies that do not share private, personal information.
Even though we do not share the information, we are required to
notify the debtor that we do not share that information, and that there
is no need for the debtor to opt out of sharing.
This creates a substantial financial burden on collection companies
who must mail this notice annually.
I suspect it confuses debtors who are told that there is no need for
them to take action in response to those mailings.
It would be simpler if those who do not share data were exempt from
the notice requirements.
Thank you.
Gary E. Wood
