Watch out for new credit score

[hollysmom]

3. well the reason they had different ss# was....

I got my credit cards before they asked for SS# - I am very old. When I went to places like Block buster and they would not let me rent tapes unless I gave them a SS - I made one up. When I went on a contract to AT&T and was not an employee, I could not take the job unless I gave them my SS#, so I gave them my corporate number instead - I did not give my number to doctor's either, I insisted that I get a random number from insurance companies instead of a number based on my SS# and they complied - surprisingly after a little arguing Turns out there are 2 other people in the state with my name- who knew? Finally, I went to change one credit card and even though I was a paying member for 30 years, they would not give me a new card because my SS#s were all over the place and I had to give them my real one.

So that is how there were a bunch of SS#s in the credit check - as far as the mortgage - I think that was someone with the same name, I got my credit records straightened out and have excellent credit - I had good credit before, but they just did not know for sure what my SS# was.
