Identity Theft -- One Military Retiree's Story

Monday July 17, 2006
John Smith’s (not his real name) house wasn’t ransacked, his wallet never snatched or his life threatened in exchange for a handful of cash on a dimly lit city street.

Yet he was robbed of something he will spend the rest of his life trying to reclaim – his identity.

(1) Janet Smith says:

If this man were able to freeze his credit report, this never would have happened. Please contact your Senators and Congressman to demand the right to do this. There is legislation being proposed that will take away your right to stop the credit bureaus and data brokers from being able to share your information with ANYONE. They never should have had the right to sell this kind of information to strangers in the first place. I consider it racketeering. Where you hold someone’s information hostage and then sell that person the right to see who they sold it to. Yuck.
