Too Much Information Sometimes Too Little

Why Is This Idea Important?: It is important to maintain personal privacy of your information. I dont feel that doctors should keep your medical record yet 1000s of medical offices and hospital employees can pull up your information to find out information that you cant. I think HIPAA was basically ignored where I worked at and so information should be given only to the original office and not secondary or third parties. You are more subjected to identity theft and people who you may not know is looking at your files getting this information and giving it to others who should not know your information. These thoughts are for every part of government from colleges and schools to legal and financial. Overexposure can lead to more problems. In the case of Nova Development, I feel that more exposure should be given to them because they intentionally gave me the runaround, they conveniently lost my rebate information, and did not feel that the BBB complaint was any significance to them at all. For this company, they will do others people like this so they can keep the rebates and the consumer suffers the loss especially when all the information was mailed to them and no notification of anything being damaged in the mail.

I'm sorry too much information is not good public or private. I do not feel that all information should be publicly known examples are medical information (that does not put in danger the public welfare), some military information, etc. I do feel that complaints should be listened to about government problems such as this dialogue.

An example of too little information is dealing with the BBB and not doing anything about it. I now have a complaint about Nova Development in California that did not refund my rebate money in the time stated. I have not receive any refund and the company has given me the runaround through the BBB and yet they have a score of A for that company. I feel that complaints of this nature should be a public matter and a legal service should handle this type of problem.

    I think in that case the BBB would either need more jurisdiction or work with appropriate agencies. Also the BBB goes by how many people report about said company. Unfortunately the little people as we are considered do not seem to matter to corporations and where can we really go to receive help. I also have reported a few companies corrupted practices, but nothing to this day is done about it. They still rip people off. I am told that they are in the system, but it seems that this so called system does not work. We need to put into action a system that upholds all rights as we the little people have no real voice in the matter I think.
