I guess maybe that should be the point. The problem with the current system is that a store can give out credit to a scammer and it ends up being your responsibility to prove otherwise to everyone involved. Also a pain. If the store and credit agencies took responsibility for their own mistakes then I guess it wouldn't matter as much.
Since it appears that we are all at risk for identity fraud shouldn't Experian and the other companies making money off my information have the fraud alert flag on by default. Seems odd that I have to pay, or even bother with a phone call, to make my information safer.
