In Georgia Business News, consumer data collector ChoicePoint says its second-quarter profit fell 6.6 percent. That’s despite higher sale and in line with Wall Street expectations. For the three months ending June 30, the Alpharetta-based company said it earned $32.57 million, or 43 cents a share. That’s compared to a profit of $34.86 million, or 40 cents a share, for the same period a year earlier. ChoicePoint collects data on people, including Social Security numbers, real estate holdings and current and former addresses. Its database contains about 19 billion records.
