U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-1947
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley and Hansen, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Gramm-Leach-Biley Act. No private right of action exists
for violation of the Act; plaintiff's state law claims based on a
violation of the Act fail because the financial information he contends
was wrongfully disclosed had lost its nonpublic character when he filed
a reparations complaint against defendant; further, defendant's actions
in delivering a demand letter did not violate the Act as they are
excepted under provisions of the Act which permit use of appropriate
and acceptable means of collecting or settling a debt.
