In this episode of Consumer Finance Compass, Balch’s Jason Tompkins, partner in Balch & Bingham’s Consumer Finance Compliance & Defense Practice, explores the Seventh Circuit’s new decision ruling that the disclosure of personal information to a vendor is not an injury, discussing the issue of standing in this case. As he navigates the Nabozny v. Optio Solutions LLC decision, Jason offers three best practices for businesses to consider moving forward.
