Kathy-

There is one thing that is not mentioned much, if at all on med-pri. Equifax 
is one of the, if not THE largest private investigation firms in the country. 
They can send agents out to do anything from investigate assets, to proof of 
identity, to taking pictures of the subjects (with hidden lenses) etc. I 
oughta know, because in my years as a litigation for a major lender, I had 
people who had swindled my firm for up to 2-4 million dollars. When I found 
out about Equifax's services, I signed them up so I could evaluate debtors 
for propriety for initiating lawsuits to seek judgments and executions upon 
personal property. (why sue someone who has a net worth of 100$, and incur 
100,000 dollars in legal bills?). 

Does it not bother anyone that this company also houses the largest consumer 
medical database in the nation? Am I the only one who sees a potential (and 
serious) conflict of interest in one firm knowing everything about any 
family, from debt information, to financial assets, all the way to intimate 
medical details? Am I the only one around that sees a huge potential for 
misuse of that information? 

Just a few questions.
