Not that I can see ID cards solving anything....

Perhaps not but I can't see them doing any harm either. It's worth a try.


I stirred this up in another NG too, here's an interesting response for
you Mary:

"I already had my credit rating shot to pieces once because of an admin
error, I would not like to have me shot to pieces because of a similar
error. "

Well, Geoff, it's of no interest to me. It couldn't happen to me because I
don't want credit. I've learned the hard way that debt is destructive and
that I'd rather go without things than owe.

But as I've said before, on probably many other subjects, hard cases make
bad laws. The exceptions prove the rules etc. There are glitches in the best
run systems, have you never madea mistake? I have.

I'd bet that the poster who had a bad experience isn't typical of his credit
company and you can't make major decisions based on a minority of
misfortunes, you just have to aim for as few misfortunes as possible.

Mary
