- SmoochiBoochie, on 08/23/2008, -0/+13I wish some of my data would conveniently get 'misplaced', such as Credit Card bills! Never gonna happen!
- inactive, on 08/24/2008, -0/+9Actually, this sort of thing happens more often than you might think: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&si ...
"Judges in at least five states have stopped foreclosure proceedings because the banks that pool mortgages into securities and the companies that collect monthly payments haven't been able to prove they own the mortgages...Federal District Judge Christopher Boyko dismissed 14 foreclosure cases in Cleveland in November due to the inability of the trustee and the servicer to prove ownership of the mortgages." - norman619, on 08/24/2008, -0/+5The system does work!
- inactive, on 08/24/2008, -0/+5Yes, that's exactly what it means. The only way the lender can sell the house is if he can take possession. And he can only take possession through court proceedings, as we do not allow banks to send goons with shotguns to kick you off your land. Furthermore, if the lender can't produce sufficient evidence of its ownership interest, the occupant can file a quiet title suit and have the court declare him the legal owner free of any outstanding claims.

- pwr4, on 08/24/2008, -0/+4So, does this mean if the judge dismisses the foreclosure proceedings that the home owner gets to keep the house without making any more mortgage payments?

- Troupkid, on 08/24/2008, -1/+3This is so weird to think about. I mean, shouldn't we be able to trust databases.....
- macwac, on 08/24/2008, -0/+2Thousands?? Try Millions of records being lost every year...
History of events according to the video from Telegraph, found here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politic ...
1. 2007 - Chancellor Darlin(?) - 25 Million child benefit records - gone missing (including National Insurance # of 17,000 ppl)
2. Dec 2007 - Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly - 3 million candidates for driving theory test - gone missing
3. June 10, 2008 - Docs related to Al Queda + Security information on Iraq (left on a train)
4. Early 2008 - Department of Environment misplaced all the information of 8,000 Northern Ireland motorists
5. Early 2008 - Navy Laptop containing encrypted details of 7000 SATS markers had been stolen
6. Now - 130,000 criminals information lost (84,000 prisoners in England and Wales, 43,000 serious and persistent offenders described as 'toxic liability')
And these people want you to give up your privacy by having a national database containing you fingerprints, DNA, passport #, social security # etc... and CCTV on every street corner?? If i was a Brit I would be bloody outraged and oust every one of these morons out of the government or whichever organization they belong to. In other words these people might as well given your passport, credit card information and birth certificate to people on the street.
"The Home Office sent the personal details on the criminals to the company (PA Consulting) on a secure encrypted email, which was then transferred in an unencrypted form on to the memory stick, which was then lost." - How stupid can these people be? Do they know nothing about information security and trust? - beingdevious, on 08/24/2008, -0/+2just remember to never piss of your SysAdmin...

- inactive, on 08/24/2008, -1/+1WTF are you talking about? In the U.S. a lawyer can be sanctioned and potentially disbarred for failing to keep the client properly informed of the status of his proceedings. Furthermore, if you suffer a pecuniary loss because your lawyer was negligent in handling your case you can sue your lawyer for malpractice.
http://www.justia.com/injury/legal-malpractice/
"Legal malpractice may take a number of different forms, ranging from minor instances of negligence to intentionally fraudulent conduct. Common types of legal malpractice include:...Failure to return phone calls or communicate with a client."
http://www.mobar.org/4c78d273-467d-4c54-8070-ccd06 ...
"In our office, we keep a carbon copy of every phone message that is taken, so that we can have a permanent record of every phone call we receive in the office. These phone logs are kept for a ten year period from the date of the call, and then they are destroyed after that time. In the state where I practice, there is a five-year statute of limitations on legal malpractice and I have found that almost all matters close within a five-year period." - kelmaster1, on 08/24/2008, -1/+1This is in the UK, not the USA for those who can't read.
- inactive, on 08/24/2008, -1/+1And you can't sue, because lawyers have just as ***** customer service as the rest of the nation.

- prothorax, on 09/03/2008, -0/+0With this bad security who need hackers and blackhats ? Horrible reading, it is peoples lifes that are out there in the open, vulnerable and also maybe very ill people undergoing some sort of medical care. Somehow we have to blame ourselves for pouring all this sensitive data into immature technology and who knows for sure who is the good guys.
