What to do if an individual under The Privacy Act allows to request information about themselves provided the information is maintained in a System of Records Requests must be made?

Answer 1

By Law, The third party organization like Certegy have to release all information pertaining to the person that is requesting everything that is filed about themselves in Certegy's system of records under the Freedom of Information Act.

A person who is requesting their own personal information are entitled to know what all is being filed in Certegy's system of records.

A person without his/her consent did not give Certegy the privilege or right to file a personal record of themselves in their System of Records.

Therefore it is illegal for Certegy as a third party extension to have that personal information in their System on file.

There are Laws in the U.S. Constitution that Certegy have to abide by and Certegy breaking these Laws results are punishment and lawsuits, tried and convicted in Court.

If Certegy's employees say, "due to unfortunate circumstances, for (propriety) reasons under our policies they cannot give that information out for it is a secret under the Privacy Act."

Certegy has no authority or right to use the Privacy Act since Certegy is a third party organization not a Federal Executive Branch Agency but acting as a Federal Executive Branch Agency which is a farce and false information on Certegy's behalf of their policies.

Answer 2

The Privacy Act of 1974 protects against invasion of personal privacy through the misuse of records by Federal Agencies, and all requests for information must be made in writing.
