This is a great description of what is going on with "identity theft". I don't usually like changing the name of something to try to push an agenda, but calling "identity theft" "bank slander" would be good idea.

So presumably a class action law suit against the reporters for slander? Might depend on specifics of the law... Maybe it's time for a better credit reporting agency startup.

Especially if a very large class action law suit was started from this.

Calling all identity thief peeps....

You mean slander by banks, not slander of banks. The term you propose is ambiguous.
