Contacting The Credit Bureaus
May 20, 2008 · Print This Article
The law states that you have a right to see your credit file at times other than the once a year free credit report that you can request from the three major credit bureaus. If any of the following circumstances apply to you, you can contact TransUnion, Experian, or Equifax at any time.
Did you apply for credit, but you were denied because of something that is in your credit file? This happens more than you think, but if you are sure that there should be nothing in your credit file that would keep a company from granting you credit, contact the credit bureau listed at the bottom of the letter you will receive.
Did you fill out a job application, go to an interview, and leave with a good feeling, sure that you were going to get the job? Then you wait anxiously for the phone call, telling you when to report for your first day. Instead, you get a letter from the company you applied to, telling you that you were not suitable for the job. At the bottom of the letter is some information which you follow up on, only to find out you were denied the job because of your credit report! Get in touch with the credit bureaus and see what the problem is!
Were you denied home, auto, or renter’s insurance because of something that appears in your credit file? You will more than likely get a letter informing you of this, and at the bottom there will be a paragraph that will tell you which credit bureau was contacted. Be sure to follow up with the credit bureau and do what you need to do in order to correct this information so that you can get your insurance!
Are you out of work? Will you be searching for a job anytime within the next 60 days? If so, you can request a copy of your credit report so that you can see what is listed there. This will prepare you for your job search. If your credit is lackluster, you may want to limit your search to those employers who do not check the credit records of potential employees.
Are you on welfare? Or, were you denied the opportunity to rent a home or apartment because of something listed on your credit report? Check with the credit bureau to see what is going on with your credit report.
Are there any errors in your credit file that you already know are there because of fraud or identity theft? If so, you have a right to request a copy of your credit report whenever you need to check and see if any of the erroneous information has been removed from your account.
Checking your credit report for any of these reasons is free. Do it today!

I understand your reluctance to send a copy of the DL and SS card to a stranger since there is an identity theft issue, but the HR people must have someone way of validating your claim. If you choose to go directly through the HR people, you must comply with their request.
Another route, however, would be to contact the local police in whatever city the other party is employed. The police, of course, will ask you to prove the validity of the claim, but I assume that you have no problem with providing them with copies of the documents in question. They can take action on your behalf of the other party is still employed and working at the company under your husband's name since it is a criminal offense.
This is the first time I've heard of this. But, If you are a business owner and this party you are talking about has owed you a lot of money and it's way past over due, you should call a collection agency/company and they will pay you and then the aging account of the other party will be owed to the collection company. And that's automatic will go to his credit that will make his credit score low and not be used to borrow again. The credit bureau will have all his record and then, until this party will try to borrow a big loan, or apply for a visa or any credit card in the future, when the company where he is applying the credit from submit this application with all the information filled in, then and only then, you will get your revenge by him reading his report from the credit bureaus. If this is a personal debt from you and you didn't have him sign a piece of paper saying that "You owe me this $amount and payable on DATE______. You are in a good deep hole, if this is the case. You could still call the collection agency if it is possible to put this in his record or if they can collect this for you. This might not be free. And you have to have a proof, witness, recorded telephone coversation, anything that will back you up as a proof, to be able for your case to win.Don't do anything drastic that could lead to total disaster and anger and physical revenge. you are just going to waste your time on this party. His doing is going to haunt him forever without your help. So, Relax. OK? But then, maybe this is not the most fitted advise for your situation. Anyway, Good Luck!

Great work, Syn… thanks for the update!
ok to clarify any confustion that was caused by my eariler comment, i was Not saying that throught works alone salvation is gained. i was saying that through works AND faith, one can gain salvation, BOTH are needed. ‘our works are like dirty rags in the eyes of God’ becuz we try to do them Without faith. you need BOTH was what i was saying, becuz they go hand-in-hand
yes that’s what I thought of first. that’s why I called them first to ask them why they had reported the wrong info, and of course they said they were reporting correctly, (yeah! after they fixed their mistake probably!)
they just did it to me again 01/21/2008 it goes on all the time reason the loan companys make more money when your scores are low
