8. They have my husband's dead father clocking time after his death. |
|
He's 90, according to their records. He died over 8 years ago.

11. They have my dad living at my sister's house AND at my mother's house. |

He's been dead for nine years.
They have the wrong birth year down for him, too. :eyes:

But I also didn't realize that 110 people share my exact name, down to the letter. Freaky.

9. they have a lot of inaccurate information about me |
|
wrong addresses, wrong ages, misspellings, etc. So which is worse--that virtually anyone can get certain bits of information about us, or that the information they get is likely distorted?

10. I'll tell you what's worse... |
|
...when someone (be it jealous ex-boyfriend, collection agency, credit card companies, police, anyone!) comes after you when they're really looking for someone else, but they're too dumb or bureaucratic to understand that they have the wrong information, and they're trying to put the screws on you for something someone else has done (or just may have done).

13. Well, it might explain why we were audited at least three times. |
|
I think the IRS still thinks my father-in-law is alive.

http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/zabasearch.aspBasically, someone pays $20 to find information that's available in public record for free. Which is why it pulls up 20-year-old addresses.
