Opinion
CIV. NO. 3:07CV1611(JCH).
April 24, 2008
ORDER
Plaintiff has filed interrogatories and requests for production, seeking information about the transactions which resulted in the repossession of plaintiff's car. The defendant Source One hired R R Recovery to repossess a car based on a debt owed by a Source One Customer. R R seized plaintiff's car, although plaintiff owed no debt to Source One and the car to be repossessed had a different VIN than plaintiff's car. Source One objected to the production on the grounds that compliance would "require disclosure of confidential, private, personal and financial information of Source One's debtor." The Court overrules Source One's objections that information responsive to interrogatory and production requests would require the disclosure of the customer's personal and banking information. Plaintiff's oral Motion to Compel a response to interrogatories and production requests [undocketed] is GRANTED.
Source One will produce the responsive information, which may be redacted to remove social security numbers, bank account numbers, and other nonpertinent personal information.
Production is stayed for 30 days to permit the customer to come to court and make any objections to production. Source One shall cause a copy of this order to be delivered to the affected customer(s) forthwith to enable the customer(s) to file an objection and be heard.
Information produced pursuant to this order will be used only in connection with this litigation and will be returned to Source One at the conclusion of the case.
SO ORDERED at Bridgeport.
