how can i check my credit report when i don’t have enough info to verify my identity?

wanderin` wonderer asked:


this is something i have been slowly pulling my hair out for a couple of months over now. apparenlty there is the possiblity there is a loan out for a morgage 2003 in my name. i just turned 23. i can verify for the last three residents i lived in, my drivers license, banking info, birth certificate and social security. all of this was done over the phone and via fax machine which scares the hell out of me personally. i have checked with all three crediters to no avail. i can not get my report!!! ilive in georgia and i can damn well get one free report a year as legislation grants me from these dipwads

so if anyone has some advice, i am all ears, becuz at this point i dont know what to do. i cant file a police report or anything till i have this information, and then well… i can’t do anything…. so HeLp!!!
i dont think i am forgetting anything, and i am telling you everything but the actual content of information provided… for practical reasons. all three places tell me that there is an inacuracy (and there friggen isnt) or that there is not enough information in my report at this time to varify through the current channels i have been trying to utilize.

there is one of two reasons that:
1.) obviously, if there has been bad things going on with my identity then i am not going to be able to verify history on it.
2.) there really isnt enough information becuz i hardly ever use my formal i.d. to do anything that involves developing a credit history other than living. no credit cards, no outstanding bills in my name, i practically dont exsist for all senses and purposes.

thank you all, more informaiton is always good!!

The Benefits of Free Credit Report

Tima.ashar asked:


payments, late payments, defaults, credit billing information, and personal information. It is

important to have a look at this document even if you do not have any substantial credit history to

ensure that the report is accurate and does not misrepresent facts. Another reason for keeping a

check is the prevalence of identity theft.

The credit report is an important document in today’s credit based economy, when most of us

own/use not just one but many credit cards. It matters a lot when you go to take loans and home

mortgages. This is because the interest rates on these deals are influenced by the soundness of

your credit history and credit score.

A free credit report is easy to get hold of. Have a look at it and browse through all the sections carefully. Make sure your personal, biographical records are accurate. Find out if there is any error in reporting bill payments you made to credit card companies or credit companies. If there are old records of defaults and late payments, find out if these can be removed.

Check your credit score against the average national score. If it is low, find out if that may affect the interest rates you may be offered. Find out ways of improving the scores from people who deal with such issues.

The three major credit bureaus offer paid credit reports with credit scores and other related services. Visit their websites and learn more about managing your credit history.

Identity theft has emerged as a modern white-collar crime. The criminal makes use of your identity to take loans or even get a job, and alters your address for correspondence so that all relevant mail is redirected to some other address. Keeping watch on your credit report can help you identify purchases you never made.
