Consumer bureau data-mining hundreds of millions of consumer credit card accounts, mortgages

Washington Examiner ^ | 29 January 2014 | Richard Pollock

[Errant]

Officials at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are conducting a massive, NSA-esque data-mining project collecting account information on an estimated 991 million American credit card accounts.

It was also learned at a Congressional hearing Tuesday that CFPB officials are working with the Federal Housing Finance Agency on a second data-mining effort, this one focused on the 53 million residential mortgages taken out by Americans since 1998.

The reason for the data collection is to use it later.
Given the felonious nature of the current rulers, it will be used for blackmail and other activities on their political enemies. Just another facet of phone and internet spying.

No Suprise. I notice on my grocery receipt,you know, the coupons you get with the receipt? They always contain things I like and use. Same with Facebook, the pop up adds are like the purchases I made the week before. Its like the NSA for consumers. They know every thing about you!
