I heard recently there are thieves somehow getting access to house titles. They don't steal the house, they take a loan out against the house. True? I don't know but it seems dishonest people are always coming up with new ways to steal.
They can take out a loan against my house, but they won't get any money from me. A lender would need to be pretty stupid to lend money to someone without doing a proper title verification.

I think more people are ripped off by these credit and title monitoring services that spread fear in people. They sell a "service" with no guarantee of outcome, or even that they will do any actual monitoring.
