I called EQ the other day to have them remove invalid addresses, the CS rep on the phone saif no problem. I now check my report today, and notonly are the invalid addys still there, but now I'm 72 years old instead of 28. How the heck did this happen? Nikki
Hmmm....maybe I should copyright the RAG (random age generator) and RSG (random spouse generator). Just had my DAD removed as my SPOUSE....
Re: Re: I just found out I'm 72 not 28 Thanks , I do look damn good for a senior citizen. I actually called them again today and asked them to change my D.O.B back to it's correct date, and they said I had to fax or mail them a copy of my birth certificate and social security card. I also attempted to correct my current address (I live in Europe, they have me listed in North Carolina) and they said they can't do that with out a copy of my current utility bill. Normally, not a big deal, but DH is in the military and we live on base, therefore, we don't have a utility bill. They said, no problem, just have DH's commander write a letter saying we live here. Um, they are in Iraq right now, I think they are a bit busy. One week into this, and I've already aged 44 years, and am homeless according to the CRA's. What's a girl to do? As to sleeping to long, I only wish! I have a 2 year old, I'd kill for 8 hours sleep, much less 44 years. Just call me Rip Van Winkle. Nikki
Re: Re: I just found out I'm 72 not 28 Not the part where Fathers and Sons get married. I did go to school in TN though.....
Re: Re: I just found out I'm 72 not 28 If you're in kentucky or West Virginia it would have come back VERIFIED!!!
Re: Re: I just found out I'm 72 not 28 If you're that old, make sure you get your senior citizens discounts!! Seriously, I think if you go to the base (or whatever where you are) legal office, they could write a letter for you. They might have said it should be from his commander, but I'm betting they would accept one from JAG. Especially since it should be obvious it's from a lawyer!!!
Re: Re: Re: I just found out I'm 72 not 28 Send them an old ocpy of your report with the correct age and ask THEM to provide a birth certificate that shows different.
Re: Re: Re: Re: I just found out I'm 72 not 28 Cannoda, Here's the rub, I asked the Customer Service Rep, why I was 28 yesterday and now I'm 72 today, and her response was that one of my creditors had changed the information. When I asked which one, she said "I don't know" When I stated that I have neither applied for new credit nor employment in the last 3 years, so how can any creditor have new info about my D.O.B. she said it was probably a miss key, but I have to provide proof of my D.O.B. nad it's EQ policy not to change personal info without supporting documentation. I honestly think that the Customer non-service rep I spoke with on Wed. mucked around with my report just to hassel me. Because, on closer inspection, not only am I 72, but a new "name variation" has appeared. You know, I thought I started with the easy stuff, names and addresses that are wrong. I have a feeling that this journey is going to have one heck of a steep learning curve. Nikki
Re: Re: Re: I just found out I'm 72 not 28 Oh I like cannoda's idea. But yep, JAG can send that, although that's a hell of a lot of trouble to go through when they had it correct the first time.
Re: Re: Re: I just found out I'm 72 not 28 very annoying to say the least. Send a picture of your self...DO I LOOK 72?

Re: Re: Re: Re: I just found out I'm 72 not 28 THE COMPANIES WHO REPORT HAVE TO PROVE NOTHING??? But you can't have it changed back with-out PROOF?!?!?!?!?
Re: Re: Re: Re: I just found out I'm 72 not 28 As I said in a previous post don´t worry about it, Relax!. The D of Birth will be fixed in a month or so when all your creditors reports the accounts. Mine went from 1928 to my real date of birth in three weeks. I didn´t call Equifax. The same happens from time to time with the address on the report.
