I am not sure where I heard this, but is it possible to add a finger print to your credit report? which means any application for credit has to have your finger print on it, and if not the application is rejected forthwith.

    I've never heard of it, and there's nothing relevant on the first 4 pages of google hits for "fingerprint credit report" so I'd say the answer is "No".
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    Sure.

    Get a retinal scan and DNA test added too while you are at it.

    Yes you can, you contact the CRA and request a password on your file in the event of any credit application in your name you will be contacted by an underwriter to confirm that you made the application and you will be asked for your password.
    I have one on both Equifax and Experian.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Thank you for your PM, jestaminnit.... Are you going to become a stalker?

    I have not seen any fingerprint readers installed in Comet or Currys, where they offer "on the spot finance" so it does not look like your idea is catching on......
