A BILLION-dollar company listed on the stock market this week, and its only major "asset" is your personal financial details. The company is the Veda Group, and they're a credit reporting agency.
If you've ever been knocked back for credit, you've probably heard of them. And if you're an upstanding financial citizen, you'll definitely want to know about them next year.
That's because the current privacy legislation only allows them to collect "negative" credit information on you: applications for credit, outstanding credit, unpaid bills over 60 days, and bankruptcy and other judgments against you.
