How do I get credit reports on my customers?

Tom V asked:


To get my own credit report, I had to provide all kinds of personal info, plus I had to answer “verification” questions. But when I applied for a sears card, all they needed was my name, ssn, and date of birth.

So how does that work? How do I get sears access to credit reports?

How do I find out if a friend used my personal info for credit cards, or purchases?

Michelle B asked:


My ex-friend and I had moved to Key West, FL. She had a lot of my personal information and I think she claimed me and my family on income tax for 2008 because I went to file myself, it was rejected because me and my dependents had already been claimed. So can I find out if they did this if I gave her name? Also, when I moved back to TN I’ve recieved bills, etc. that I’ve never heard of and don’t know what they’re for. If I did a credit report would the information be helpful for this problem. Also, the IRS told me over the phone that my family and I might have to get new S.S #. Is this a common way of identity theft problem solving?

My employer just announced that our personal info has been stolen?

jimmy asked:


We received a memo today from my employer that someone had sent personal info including ss #’s via email from work to an unrecognized email address. Coincidentally, our benefits person mysteriously was fired a little over a week ago. What rights do I have and what can I do to protect myself. I already have alerts set up for my credit report.

can anyone check your credit reports?

jakdie999 asked:


Suppose someone has your Social Security, your first name, and your address. But assume he has incorrect personal info on everything else.

Can he successfully check your credit history? If he worked at a company like Sprint, can he check your credit even more easily?

What can be done when someone access’s ur credit info w/o ur permission?

SassySista asked:


My bf just called me to tell me about my credit score and things on my credit report.
He called up an agency telling them that I wanted to take out a personal loan. he gave them my social security # and then they called back and told him my credit score and what was on my credit report…. I have never spoken to these people so I never gave them my permission to do this… What can I do?
He wasn’t inpersonating me. he called them and told them I gave him permission to do that. My concern is that was a fine answer for them and they gave him my personal info without contacting me first. That’s what bothers me.

Can i get my paper work (credit report, drivers license copy)back from the auto dealer if i back out of a deal?

Marcus c asked:


i went to a auto dealer when i seen a car advertised online for $8000. i checked out the car and agreed on a final price of $9000 after tax title and plates. they ran my credit report and copy of my drivers license. after that, i applied for a loan through them and got approved. when it was time to sign the contract i noticed that the selling price was $12000. long story short i walked out. but i dont feel comfortable with them having all of my personal info. can i get it back or can they legally keep it.
