A secretive data collection program run by the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau allows private contractors access to millions of Americans’
personal financial information, according to a government accountability
group.
The information may also be shared with other federal agencies.
Documents obtained by Washington-based Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act
illustrate the cost and scope of the program, which business groups and
some Republican lawmakers have assailed as invasive and potentially
illegal.
