A teller from my credit union went into my account, accessed my information, and then gave it to someone else. Do I have case to sue? How should I go about doing so?
In today's litigious society you can sue someone for practically anything. This doesn't mean you'd win anything and you haven't indicated that you were harmed in any way.
In the long term you need to worry about identity theft, if this information was compromised in such a way as to facilitate that. In the short term, you need to contact a senior person at the credit union about the person you suspect of divulging your information. Go on the record. If your identity is stolen later, you will want them to know they may have been the source. They should listen to your claims and investigate the matter. If the employee has violated the trust in them of keeping information confidential, they should deal with the employee directly.
