Legal Question in Business Law in Michigan

Hello,

I went to an Advance Loan Company for cash advance filled out an application and there was a question there whether you filed bankruptcy so I asked the employee about it and I was notified that if I did than I do not qualify. He then took the application out of my hand and when I asked for all my personal information along with the application he refused to give it back to me. telling me that was the company policy and that they keep it for their records. I was furious, because he had my SS#, along with copy of my check stub and other personal information that I felt was against the law for him to keep since I was notified that I am not eligible. Is there anything I can do, there is no reason for them to keep all my personal information since I am not a customer.

Thank you

Anna

Call the police. I would tell them this company has stolen your private information and won't give it back. You could also sue them for the return of the documents, but this would be costly. Tim Klisz. www.kliszlaw.com

Any attorney will say a review of all facts, documents, etc. is required. You may have signed something in one of the documents authorizing them to retain your information. After that, a personal consultation is needed. This is not a simple bulletin board type question. Consult with an attorney in your area for specifics.
