side issue

As I, and a few other members here on AO, were affected by the VA incident, I started doing more research and found out the that 3 major credit reporting agencies have no laws governing the accuracy of their reporting! So if you are/were affected by fraud and it gets to those agencies - they just put it up on your record - without verification or checking to see if it was fraud. I checked with the agencies some time ago, and they had 3 different aliases for my name and when questioned how this could be, they replied "we accept input from various organizations" when questioned about verification, I got white noise. So an enforceable law here would be a good start as well... you know what - I'm going to contact my State rep on this now!
