It's probably in the small print that you approved. check that before you sue

No not really, once you give the bank your information, there's nothing stopping them from selling it to another company that could possibly profit from it. In other words, if you go fill out paperwork for a loan, cell phone, or anything that requires filling out some kind of application with your personal info, you should make sure the company either has a clause in the contract or small print or just ask them straight out if they sale information to other companies. The only way you can sue them is if there is a breach in contract. Once you sign your information away, they can do what they want with it as long as they aren't abusing the information for illegal purposes to benefit themselves.

Did you have a loss due to the bank giving this information?
If not, what would you sue for?
Although I agree it's not good that a bank did this, mistakes do happen.

This is America , anyone can sue anyone .
The question is , can you win ?
First , you must prove that they disclosed this then. . .
To win you MUST show damages (how many thousands of $$$$ you lost because of this other person seeing your info ) .
After proving the misdeed AND how much you lost ,
You may be awarded that sum plus attorney fees .
If you fail to prove misdeed or damages ,
You get nothing but a large bill from your attorney .
How has this negatively hurt your accounts ?
