Businesses Facilitating 'Identity Theft'

What is also needed as our case illustrates is an effective means of correcting the BAD identity data as well.

There are no processes or procedures either in existance that will correct our situation.

So the fact they would allow the same number to be reused with other names is a fundamental flaw in need of being addressed.

We can only build a better system.
