TTigggers Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 They should be able to tell you which TL or Inq the misspelled name is connected to.Then you have to contact them to correct or remove it.I sent the nutcase letter and had some good luck with it but I also had my name misspelled about 20 times. For some reason the CRA's are a PITA about removing personal info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTO429 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 They cant tell me who reported it that wayI asked it is not in their records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTigggers Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Well in that case I would tell them if they can't find it in their records they have no business reporting it. Remind them that the FCRA requires the info to be accurate and if they have no records of it how could it be verified as accurate. If need be tell them you will file a lawsuit for willful noncompliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magdalen77 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 EX has my name misspelled and the wrong middle initial and they will not remove it. They will not tell me how they got that name associated with me. How nasty do I need to be with them to get this fixedI called them and somehow managed to get ahold of a sensible CSR. I told her the only names I've ever used or been known by. I pointed out how foolish some of the permutations were and she agreed. (Really dumb stuff like Madloan A. Smith or Smith Magdalen or A. Smith Magdalen) Anyway, she removed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momof5 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I told the CSR that they cannot report misspellings because it is NOT accurate....and to report other names allows for identity theft because any jerk can use a permutation of my name and my addy and get credit....Don't know what part of that worked, but I got all those permutations off.

Fizzle1979 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I know I have called CRA's about misspellings before too. They tell me to send in my SS card, I tell them they already have it on file because I've sent it before. They end up deleting the misseplled ones.
