The fiance asked for the name of the person to whom the complainant should speak. She then was introduced to the account manager, who left the complainant\'s file open on her desk in front of his fiance The fiance who had no prior knowledge of the details of the complainant\'s line of credit, could read the file from where she was sitting. The account manager told the fiance that the complainant had reached his maximum amount for that year and would have to fill out a new application. The manager then gave the fiance a blank application, as well as a copy of the one that the complainant had submitted the year before.
