LetoAtreides Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Yeah, it is strange that way. I recently got a mortgage in December of 2002. I had been cleaning up my credit file for about 3 months, so I was sure all the information on all 3 were valid. Not to say great, but valid none the less, and all mine. Well, the mortage company pulls my Equifax and I've got about 4 accounts on it from my father, same name. I had them triple check that they pulled my account, yep, right Social. I pull it, still don't see that stuff. I ended up having to provide documentation to my mortgage company that no, I do not already own a house and am currently carrying 4 car payments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb9tbq Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 LetoAtreides; have to commend you are your choice of names. Happen to be a big DUNE fan myself (read every book).With a mixed file; should send copy of your drivers licens to all 3 CRAs (mark out DL # though). Will request to unmix the file and remove all of your fathers personal financial information.For furture note: Be sure to always give your full given name when applying for credit. Also try to dispute & have your fathers address removed from your credit report so that this don't later re-establish the wrong info back into your credit report.As for the lender showing credit report w/ different information than what is seen on the consumer credit report. Would be very interested in asking them if they could please send you a copy of the credit report so that you may have access to the information that you are obviouly not getting on your side when ordering your own personal credit report. If it is a local bank or mortgage lender and they won't part with a copy of their credit report. At least see if they would be willing to let you come into the bank to at least let you show copy of your credit report to compare with what they have.[Edit by kb9tbq on Monday, April 28, 2003 @ 01:45 PM] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
