     | Tuesday, August 22, 2000 - 03:42 pm  From Denise's August 11, 2000 update: "Many of you have commented on the fact that I have not been posting on the public boards for awhile and my once loud, vocal voice had been unusually silent. There was a reason for that silence. The CRAs and creditors monitor these boards. In one of my many depositions I was asked to provide them with every name of every person I ever spoke to regarding this case as well as every email I ever sent or received. Of course, an impossibility since I have been a victim of continual errors by the creditor for 8 ½ years and 5 ½ of those years with the CRAs. Then, what I find unconscionable and a precedent that cannot be set is the invasion of not only my privacy but also yours! Fleet filed a motion for not only my emails and posts, but my hard drive as well. I have absolutely nothing to hide but I have privacy and Constitutional rights that I would not allow them to take from me. I have no business relationship with them, nor am I an employee of theirs. I am simply a consumer who has freedom of speech, an absolute right to privacy and the right to hold them accountable in a court of law after exhausting all other attempts to force them to adhere to the laws. I was equally upset at the prospect of being forced into intruding on innocent consumers privacy rights by releasing private emails that were sent to me. Some of you told me of your own cases and/or the fact that you were contemplating a case and I would never feel right in betraying that confidence. I find it ironic that for years I have attempted and fought to stop them from defaming me and their fight seemed to be simply to stop me from telling the truth! Additionally, I believe the only reason they wanted my emails and hard drive was for the purpose of finding out how many other innocent consumers or attorneys could potentially be either a witness or provide proof that my case was not "unique" but rather a large systemic problem. If a consumer was forced to turn over their hard drive and emails from or to consumers who had every right to expect privacy it would have a "chilling effect" on our constitutional rights." While I occasionally publish *annoying and moronic* E-mails, I certainly wouldn't give my drive or E-mail to anyone without a court order. On the other hand, I feel that electronic security and privacy are an illusion. If I wanted to kill someone, I certainly wouldn't send out E-mail about it. Apparently your privacy is jeopardized every time you send e-mail to a person who sues a corporation at any time in the future. I have no idea what the legal basis is for the demand to name EVERYONE who you discussed your law suit with. How could Fleet file a motion for not only Denise's emails and posts, but her hard drive (with my E-mails to Denise) as well??? It is truly aggravating to realize that the CRAs could be reading my private E-mail to Denise, while I'm unable to get my OWN credit report from the CRAs (supplied to AT&T by the CRAs without my permission.) Why does it look like the tables are turned and Denise is the criminal? What does Denise's hard drive have to do with her suit against Fleet for incorrect credit reporting? I wished I had the contact info for Fleet to request their comments. Of course Denise is right when concluding "and their fight seemed to be simply to stop me from telling the truth!" That's what it's all about: Create a nation of workers too fearful to fight for their rights and afraid to speak the truth.

On your first point: It is for this exact reason that the U.S. has terribly loose and inefficient information laws and enforcement and places like the U.K. are on the right track in some aspects when personal info is kept as personal PROPERTY the way it should be! On your second point: There is a societal disease prevalent today--to always criminalize the victim and victimize the criminal. It makes me sick, and probably yourself and others reading this forum. The large information corporations, and others, play this to a 'T' to protect their interests.
