My son asked me to co-sign on a real estate loan. In addition to knowing my income, debts and credit score, the company also insists on having two months of bank statements. If I refuse to give them the bank statements, they will deny the loan. How can an individual protect his personal information when loan companies are legally entitled to so much?
