Ok thanks.

I get an error when I try to access my equifax info (the link on their page):

"Unable to complete secure transaction

Me and the wife were both listed as compromised. My mother and step dad are supposedly OK.

Just opened up a Credit Karma account for both of us and then went and froze our reports. What a PIA! This **** ought to be free, it ain't like we gave them permission to keep our life history, they just do it of their own accord and they they get our stuff stolen which they basically stole themselves. Gonna look at some ID coverage now.

:grumble: :pissed:

No but it will prevent you from opening any new accounts unless you unfreeze it.
Simple solution, dont borrow money.
Credit report should be called debt report.

It's bogus anyway. Way back in the day I had a car salesman bitching because we had some stuff on our report, but had great income to debt ratio and could easily afford what we were looking at. Didn't matter the report is gospel like that magic little number is all telling or something and he couldn't finance us.

My credit is now good but I could care less. If I don't pay cash for it, I don't buy it. My mortgage is all I owe and when it's gone, there ain't gonna be anymore notes with my name on them. I may get a CC just for the layer of protection it provides, but it'll be paid in full each month.

The link you posted in post #1 tells you that. It may be bogus but I do get different results when I put in bogus names and my mother checks out good. I'm still a little skeptical that their system can return the info so fast, there's basically no wait unless they are querying while you are messing with the catcha robot crap. But once you hit the final click it comes back with it does or doesn't appear that your info is affected.

Edit: Oops. In your thread CHenry, I didn't realize we had another going.
