To be honest I would prefer that modern plague to stay contained within the US borders.

  I moved to Canada a couple of years ago from Australia and when I got there, I couldn't open a bank account or find a rental - Experian thought I had three mortgages and outstanding debt. I had never been to Canada before, let alone own property or get loans. Keep as much info out of their hands as possible if they can't keep it accurate.

    Leibel laws need to be expanded to credit reporters. If a credit agency has incorrect info on you that harms you (financially or reputationally), they would have to compensate you. They'd soon have a really strong incentive to check the info they report very thoroughly...

      And also making laws with fines against banks that libel you by telling a credit bureau that you took out a loan and didn't repay. "Identity theft" does not really exist. The reality is a bank loaned money to a fraudster and then when the fraudster did not pay back the loan the bank libels the person the fraudster impersonated when they got the loan. It would be great if the media changed the name they used from "identity theft" to "bank libel" but I don't see that happening.
