Since the company that issued credit to someone using fraudulent identification, why are they not held libel due to their negligence? Why is the person who has had their identity stolen responsible for cleaning it up, when the credit issuers are the ones that have ruined it by giving credit to someone using a false ID. Credit issuers are not making enough identity verification if identity theft is occurring.
I PAY for telephone and email/internet service to communicate with family, friends, etc. NOT for telemarketers and spammers. These companies should not be allowed to use my services to advertise their products. It should be illegal or they should pay for my telephone and email/internet service. Similar to broadcast TV, the service is free but there is advertising.
