One good thing came out of this fiasco: When Bank of America sent me a notification letter, I discovered that they were still carrying me as an active card-holder. I turned my card in as part of my out-processing when I retired, more than three years ago.

I found your article very interesting, but find it could be more of a cover up than an accident. I myself happen to have had a Bank of America Government Travel Card. I had a balance of $437.00 three years ago, it was paid off three years ago. BOA never did report it to the credit reporting agencies. For three years it has showed up as a bad debt. Six monthes ago, my pay check was garnished for the 437.00 (over three pay days). According to Bank of America, they did nothing wrong, they won't even talk to me. I don't think the tapes being lost were an accident, I think it was a cover up for the bank's lack of good business smarts.

I'm not a computer expert but it seems that this type of information should be transferred electronically. Transporting tapes seems to render e-security measures useless!

Nice! The DoD forces employees to sign up for a card they don't want and then the stinkin' bank "loses" their private data... I think the DoD should now PAY for monthly credit checks so the employees can tell if they have been victoms of I.D. theft.
