As part of a nationwide compliance sweep, the Federal Trade Commission has charged two mortgage companies with violating the agency's Gramm-Leach- Bliley (GLB) Safeguards Rule by not having reasonable protections for customers' sensitive personal and financial information.

One of the lenders is Sunbelt Lending Services, Inc. (Sunbelt), a subsidiary of Cendant Mortgage Corporation with headquarters in Clearwater, Florida. Sunbelt has agreed to settle FTC charges that it failed to implement safeguards to protect its customers' names, social security numbers, credit histories, bank account numbers, income tax returns, and other sensitive financial information.
