August 25, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Phil Kuhlenbeck, owner of Scrapitout.com, a Computer Recycler and Data Destruction Company with locations nationwide, said, “This affects most everyone, individuals and organizatons of all size.” Kuhlenbeck went on to say: “This free do it yourself information is available because this issue is so important. Everyone is at risk for having their identities stolen — and if it happens, serious consequences could result. “

Since June 1, 2005 businesses have had to adhere to new FTC rules on destroying consumer records such as credit reports and financial data or face civil penalties.

The idea is to prevent "Dumpster diving" — in which criminals look through trash and discarded business files to obtain personal information on customers.

The rules apply to both large and small organizations that use consumer credit reports in business transactions.

Among those who must comply are banks, car dealers, employers, landlords and debt collectors.

"It’s been absolutely incredible, we weren’t even here a few months ago — and now because of this new law we have hundreds customers and more business than you can imagine!” Kuhlenbeck added, "We’ll show up at the business, haul off the hard drives or other storage media in a locked container or we can destroy it right on site. It doesn’t get any safer or easier than this."
