Here in Holland the definition of fraud implies that an action was undertaken with the intention to benefit (and so disadvantaging others).

Since there was no intentional benefit it's not fraud. At least thats how it's taught here

According to the Social Security Administration, Identity theft, fraud and misuse of a person's social security number all warrant the same action. The fact of the matter is that SS# is a private number that no one should just have access to, so at the very least the car dealership is not protecting their customers' private information if someone was just able to "accidentally" use the wrong person's name and SS# to write a loan. I won't even get in to how several people managed to review and sign the load paperwork with no one realizing it had the wrong name on it.
