Privacy act info was far more protected at the car store I worked at than ANY of the numerous mortgage companies I've seen the inside of. The car store operated exactly how you described. The mortgage companies are a completely different story. If you did an inspection you would find of loan officers you would find:

1) Client application packages sitting on desktops, credit apps, pay stubs, w-2's copied right inside.

2) Stacks of old CBR's sitting in drawers.

3) If you could follow them home you'd also see copies of that stuff at the LO's home - for the day they decide to go to a competitor, they can recontact all previous clients.

I've seen it time and time again.
