Recently seven people in US District Court in Hammond admitted their role in an identity theft plan that rang up $400,000 in unauthorized credit card purchases from 1998 to 2004. How they were able to do it?They used to collect people personal data from a car rental desk at O'Hare International Airport and used that date to obtain credit cards by other people names. This show how easy identity theft can be.But now a new Indiana law will frustrate thieves to use Hoosiers' good names and credit to rip them off. The law works on the concept:It lets consumers freeze or block third party access to their credit report unless the consumers want to release them. So freezing of your credit report will stop criminals from obtaining credit by your name.When you request for a freeze to your credit report to the credit reporting agencies, they will send you a unique PIN (personal identification number). This PIN will allow you to release the freeze on your credit report when you want to apply for
New credit lowers score?.I aquired 2 new credit cards in June (BP and Home Depot). My score immediately dropped from 702 to 641 (FICO). As of today my score has not risen 1 point ! True Credit states the reason is I aquired the cards in too short of time. Now had I been denied the cards my score would have not dropped. My banker says I should cancel the cards and it should go back up. Since the score hasn't risen at all in 4 months I'm pondering doing just that! Any thoughts?.The card limits are only 400 and 700. Debt to income is 10% ( moot point since credit bureau does not factor that norr is privy to your income. My other credit cards have a total limit of 10,000 and I only owe 220.00. 1 car loan never late on anything , no collections..Transunion does not use FICO any longer, they use Vantage.I owe nothing on theses cards. I owe 3% of my total available credit. One of my credit cards show my score each month. I also have a friend that ran my credit thru his car dealership.. all
I have no confirmation other than an individual forum post, but it sounds like Prosper's trying out some new collections technique. Is this the legal field test that Doug Fuller referred to in his Q & A? Ahh, endless, unconfirmed speculation. From the forums:

One of the most important changes would be the right to receive a free annual copy of your credit
