This is going to be a huge mess in a year or so.  More so than it is
already.  My wife recently went shopping our mortgage around.  Once she
was done, she went back to all the places that didn't get our business
and told them to remove all her records.  Each place she went to was
flabbergasted.  They viewed that info as theirs.  I'm not sure what her
success rate was, but she was pretty forceful on that point.

And the rest of the world...  Hello!  There are others here too! ;)
