The "I've Been Mugged" blog has a great three part series on outsourcing by credit bureaus: "Is It Wise For Credit Bureaus To Outsource To Foreign Call Center Firms? (Part 1)," "part 2" and "part 3."
He digs deep into how extensively TransUnion outsources, and where. I went looking, and was surprised to see that their privacy policy is at least honest. They make no claim that they care about your privacy, nor any that they apply the highest standards of security to your information.
