    It is certainly true that some of us are not aware that we have
a right (in many states) to see this information at will.  I am aware
of my right to see information used in denying me credit.  I did not
(and do not) know of any right to see information about me that some
company has gathered and wishes to sell.  Would someone please
elaborate on the nature of such laws and the states in which they
are applicable?
