"yeah, and since a favorite is to steal childrens' SS# under assumption no one is going to notice for years some kid may now have ruined credit before he hits high school.

And that's the exact type of 'reactionary" situation our people in government refuse to be proactive about. Not only does the SS Admin have the number with the name, they also have the date of birth, sex and the issue date of that number to the individual. So, once again, the polticoho's defy common sense and continue to feed the public loads of manure concerning this issue.

Iffen the bank reports the forclosure against Bob, isn’t that knowingly reporting false data—by the BANK?
Doesn’t Bob have a tort vs. the BANK?
Hello college tuition $, Bobby boy.
