Why identity is important to a country?
It is very important, because if someone steals you identity and assumes it, you have to get your identity back and that is a difficult task. Tasks such as closing affected bank and credit card accounts, contacting a credit bureau to report the fraud. contacting the Police, complain to the FTC's Identity Theft Hotline, are just a few of the tasks involved. With the loss of your identity you have lost your "good" name, and it takes awhile to reestablish your good identity and repair your damaged credit.

What is the red flag alert score on a credit report?
I know this much: The red flags rule under federal law is ostensibly designed to prevent fraud and identity theft. The most common "yes" to a red lfag test Iv'e seen has been a mismatch on phone numbers or addresses. Given the way people move, and the fact that a person might use their cel number on a an application and their landline on the next, I usually just get a phone bill, which will show the actual address and the number in question, and the address, all on the same document as the applicant. Other red flags may be set by a reported fraud, an identity theft claim, or disagreement between DOB and social security number. I have percevied the "red flag score" to be an evaluation of the "safety" of the information reported on the bureau as a result of the fraud indicators or lack thereof. Hence, a hi red flag score is like a high credit score....a good thing.

Can fraud be done by accident?
No. In tortuous fraudthe element of malice must be proved to establish a case. In criminal fraud, the intent to do harm must also be proven for fraud to exist. If there is no intent to harm, all you have is an honest mistake. It might be just as harmful, but if it's not intended, it's not fraud.
