A 10-year-old Russian woman was accused of someone else's debts worth 10 million rubles: the first demands for payment came when she was three years old. Over the course of seven years, 89 enforcement proceedings were opened in the girl's name. It all started with a mistake by the clerk, who linked the child's SNILS to someone else's debtor. So banks and microfinance organizations started using this data. The number cannot be changed - it is issued once for life.
