I know weird question..but on my EQ report from 07/07/04...my "evil wont go away" account is listed with Household Bank....address, blah, blah.. Now I just pulled another EQ report today and it's now listed as Beneficial Nat'l Bank ..different address, blah, blah... Makes getting a verfication hard, if you dont know who the original furnisher of info is?? Am I right..what is up with this??
This typically happens when a company is purchased by another company, or somehow otherwise merges into another company. I just went to household.com and clicked the other household web sites... The second one listed was Beneficial. So, chances are the account you had with household is one which is being handled by HSBC's Beneficial division. Now, if you were to dispute it, and they throw back a previously investigated response... Your arguement was, no Beneficial did not previously investigate this alleged account, Household did.
