Aw, my curiosity got the better part of me. Ordered up my report. Very proud to announce it was only 68 pages. Went through it quite completely. Findings equaled it was right and reminded me of things from many years back. Found things back in the 1990's. Quite surprised and they too were spot on. Found complete sections on 1) Driver's License including level of license and renewal and original issue dates; 2) Insurances for Homeowners/Rentals, Automobile (including actual limits and losses) along with past companies; 3) Credit all accounts back many years open and closed with Credit Limits and paid status along with whether they were open or closed and clean of bad marks; 4) Inquiries on banking such as opening CDs and accounts; 5) Employment background check for a city treasurer job from a bank; 6) mortgages; 7) Complete history on my Social Security Account/Number and when the US Federal Government allowed for the issuance of the last four digits of my social security number [who would have ever thought of that?]. Oh yeah ... every address I ever rented or owned. Another surprise, they recorded some of the inquiries for marketing to my email accounts and what my email accounts are today and yesterday?! Almost forgot, that they included telephone numbers land line and cell/mobile going back at least twenty years (truth I did not even remember some of them). :lol: It was an eye-opening experience to say the least. Talk about concern for a hack ... they have more information than I even recall! :very-mad:

Thanks for the itemized list on that! Pretty extensive data collection for sure! Check this out: https://www.govexec.com/defense/2005/11 ... rds/20630/ (FBI paid a private company for access to their data rather than start collecting it on their own. The data was so good, it made no sense for the government to do it in parallel.) It really upsets me when politicians, who definitely know better, go out there and tell people they'll prevent the government from creating a 'gun owner database'. lol It's existed for decades already in the private sector. Just have to subscribe and do a search. Lexis can give it to you, and Choicepoint (at the link) surely can as well. Like Sinéad O'Connor said long ago: "Fight the real enemy!" (Unregulated data aggregation.)

Like Sinéad O'Connor said long ago: "Fight the real enemy!" (Unregulated data aggregation.) Try this I get an email from the University of Minnesota Main Campus (Fall 2023) that my data was hacked! Love it as I have not been there as a student since 1967. Hold on, gets even better, Mr. Cooper a home loan company noticed me I was hacked from my 2017 data in January 2024. At this point we may just lay the wounds open to fester and kill us? :violin:

LOL I JUST GOT another 'hacked' letter in the mail this afternoon! I've received almost a dozen in the last couple of months, mostly harmless and because I had a temporary account on some system I consulted on. One was from whatever company is handling medical data now for a hospital I went to over 10 years ago when I had walking pneumonia. It was basically an urgent care visit.

Almost makes me think hackers are using A1 to find vulnerability in various credit or user systems. :cry:

Wanted to use online but it was a cluster (very poor website hard to follow). Got four pages of essentially nonsense and blank paper from them twice I might add. So, I called, and the CR ordered everything for me and sent paper which took four calendar days. CR did offer online access, but I said after all the nonsense trying to figure out the LexisNexis website, I asked to just send paper. Besides it is a long and quite involved report. The type you want to spread out on a table and evaluate and not use your own printer and ink for 68 pages. Truth, it is the most comprehensive report I have ever received from any provider for any reason. For me it was better than the credit bureaus, as they had all that in the report, plus the auto/home insurance, telephones, addresses, social security, and so on. Unbelievable and the report went back to at least 1998. Well worth the effort. Found after three reviews it was amazingly accurate and in fact had information I forgot until the review?! No cost and I believe they included how to have corrections/updates made if there is a need?!
