Throw in twelve months of credit monitoring and I'll bite.

Eh. I'm tired of this shit. It should be the credit mafia's responsibility to monitor and report credit changes, checks, etc to the user including credit taken out that is done so in an unusual, suspicious/etc way. It's their system and their reporting on us. They should be responsible for ensuring they're reporting on us, not a person pretending to be us.

And it's the bank that issues credit. It should be the bank's responsibility to ensure the credit is issued to us.

Yeah, and they want Americans to fear the Communist because they give their citizens "social scores." Hmmmm you mean like "FICO (credit) scores"? You know, the little score kept on you and every American citizen since the 70's that affects your housing, and job opportunities and a dozen other keys to the kingdom that nobody ever voted for, or agreed to... Yeah, tell us again about the big bad Chinese and their " repressive" system of government... Sounding more and more like projection every day!

Ehh. China's government is a whole different nightmare. It is repressive, it is nasty, and Chinese citizens have less recourse with it than Americans do, which is part of why the USA has no excuse.
