Source? I have been underwater on a home, and it's current value was never considered for anything not related to that property. It's not like banks send appraisers to your house everytime you apply for a credit card or auto loan.

That is essentially what mobile phone carriers do, yet "customers" provide fake/stolen IDs all the time to perform sim-swap attacks and obtain financed phones they never plan to make a payment on.
