Marital status on CR

I would dispute it. I know a divorce may be a public record but come on. And to have your exs name on your rpt doesn't seem right. I would dispute as NOT MINE.

 

Wow. That is just too much. Every creditor you have doesn't need to know you were divorced years ago. I would send them a letter telling them to remove it.

 

WTH! Now that is over the top. I thought I has something to gripe about.

 

It is still BETTER than having your 18 year old son as your SPOUSE!!!

 

My sig. other is listed as my spouse ... nice that Experian recognizes us as a married couple, but state and federal gov'ts won't (yet).

Does that make Experian a liberal and friendly company?

whyspers, Dispute it and it will come off. Did it just show up? If so, maybe your ex is applying for credit as JOINT with your SS. Charlie

 

BUT will they recognize a BOYFRIEND and GIRLFRIEND living together???

 

Yeah GEORGE they do. My daughter bought a house with her boyfriend and EX put it down as spouse. My daughter was pissed, so I disputed it off. I said not married, please delete. Charlie

 

I have the same thing. Does anyone know if this is treated as a derog in the FICO models?

 

Equifax listed my ex as spouse. I wrote them and included that printout from my CR. I circled it and said I do not have a spouse, please remove. It was removed.
