If the banks were heavily penalized for giving wrong info to the credit bureaus, the number of people having this problem of "identity theft" would plummet. If, while cleaning up your credit score you could also get a $10,000 judgment from the bank that libeled you, maybe you don't feel so shitty about the hassle the bank has put you through.
Are they heavily penalized for giving wrong info to credit bureaus? Or perhaps it's not a big problem as banks have the drill down with regard to identiy theft's aftermath?
