They should be shut down permanently. Full stop.

Furthermore, the very existence of these credit agencies should be sincerely alarming to most normal people, and probably already is. These databases should not exist.

Agreed. We don’t wait for a bomb to go off before arresting a terrorist. We arrest them for having the bomb.

Equifax, TransUnion and the others are clearly bombs waiting to explode.

Arrest the bastards and shut them down before they go off!

>These databases should not exist.

Especially since consumers have no say in the matter at all.
