The Right to Financial PrivacyAct RFPA usc 12 3401 et seq. is a Act of Congress United States federal law that gives the customers of financial institutions the right to some level of privacy from government searches. Before the Act was passed, the United States government did not have to tell customers that it was accessing their records, and customers did not have the right to prevent such actions. The Act came about after the United States Supreme Court held, in United States v. Miller , 425 U.S. 435 1976 , that financial records are the property of the financial institution with which they are held, rather than the property of the customer. The Act prescribes statutory damages of 100 per violation, and a number of different violations can be aggregated in a class action . ref cite journal web url http papers.ssrn.com sol3 papers.cfm?abstract id 1967184 last Bray middle L. first Samuel year forthcoming 2012 title Announcing Remedies journal Cornell Law Review volume 97 ref The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 amended the RFPA. ref http epic.org privacy rfpa Retrieved May 29, 2010 ref References references citation url http www.ots.treas.gov files 422240.pdf title Examination Handbook 1345, Right to Financial PrivacyAct date December 1999 publisher Office of Thrift Supervision , United States Department of Treasury External links http www.epic.org privacy rfpa RFPA information page provided by the Electronic Privacy Information Center , a public interest group Bank regulation in the United States DEFAULTSORT Right To Financial PrivacyAct Category United States federal banking legislation US fed statute stub ... more details

The recent bill threatens up to 10 years in prison to anyone pretending to be someone else, or otherwise employs fradulant tactics to persuade phone companies to hand over confidential information about their customers. Before the law was passed, it was only illegal in the United States to use pretexting to obtain financial records about someone via the Gramm Leach Bliley Act . In California, it was already illegal to use pretexting to obtain phone records, but most politician s and consumer advocacy groups pleaded for a federal bill to be passed. Sale of the fraudulent material was widespread because the possibility of criminal prosecution was non existent. The bill was presented to the President on January 3, 2007.
