Breach of confidentiality

Posted on : 07-07-2009 | By : Legal Information | In : Other Legal Topics

Bank revealed account information to my husband whose name was not on my account. Secondly, they mistakenly revealed information to another person’s account, with a name similar to mine, to my husband. The other person’s account had $12,000 in it and my husband thought I was hiding money from him. We were already experiencing martial problems, but this was the catalyst behind him filing for a divorce. Even though I called the bank to confirm the $12,000 account was not mine, he still didn’t believe me and filed for divorce. Now, I’m losing half of everything we’ve worked for due to the divorce. Can I sue the bank for breach of confidentiality and financial adversity that resulted in a reduction of my personal assets, retirement funds, investments, rental property, cars, etc.?

It is not likely you would win such a suit. Its even less likely an Attorney would take such a case without a hefty retainer up front. I suspect that this is not cause of Divorce action just the last straw for your husband. This would have happened one way or another. Consult an Attorney on how to protect your assets

my councelor let another client know i attended counceling in the past can that be a case against him

My wife filed for bankrupsy in Federal court. In the final ruling she proved she was NOT fraudlent with the account info at one of the financial instutions. This instution used my individual financial records in court as evidence trying to drag me into this matter. What grounds for a counter suit do I have if any? Her attorney and the Judge Herself scoulded the bank for bringing me into her financial dealings without me being on her loan application at all. Thanks in advance!

I operate a savings account with HSBC in Bangladesh. Every three months, the bank sends me an account statement by courier. However, this time in the window of my envelope where the address is supposed to be is my account number and account balance. To find the address, the courier made a small tear. Now, i have a sizable sum in my account. It was delivered to my gate man who got a good look at how much his boss has in his account. The security situation in Bangladesh is’nt all that great and i believe that i’ve been put at great risk here.

The bank no doubt breached its confidentiality with me. How far are they liable and do i get any monetary compensation because of this.
