Not a lawyer, but I wonder if Tortious interference Laws can be used by individuals to file civil lawsuits against credit reporting agencies ?

In my head I am interpreting the law like this: Credit Reporting Company negligence "interferes" with a person being able to obtain a loan.

IANAL either, but it seems the losses suffered from ID fraud are only recoverable via this.
