2007Mishandling of private data: Wachovia is fighting a lawsuit accusing it of letting fraudulent telemarketers use its accounts to bilk millions of dollars from consumers. The plaintiffs accused Wachovia of allowing some "payment processors" to create authorized, unsigned checks on behalf of telemarketers to withdraw funds from customer accounts between 2003 and 2006. They also accused Wachovia of trying to win or retain business from companies that it knew were accused of telemarketing fraud, despite being alerted by other banks about the deceptive activity.: Reuters
