EQ & TU showing Full Social Security Number as Account number on Sallie Mae Accounts...Not Masked!

I searched different variations, but could not find prior issue for this.

 

I must have looked at my CRA hundreds of times and just a moment ago, was proofing all detail again, and noticed my smaller original Sallie Mae SL accounts (that have been since merged to my current single account in 2008) are using my full social security number with 4 x's following my number as the account number for Sallie Mae TLs.

 

I thought it was against regulation to list a full social security account number, or maybe I am just thinking it should be.  I am assuming that when someone has pulled my SP that my full number is disclosed.

 

Also, what originally caught my eye is that EQ is showing some as paid open (TU paid closed) for those that really are closed and transferred to the current TL I am current and paying as agreed. So I was thinking of sending a dispute to EQ for those anyway for incorrect information.

 

Is this illegal to report this number in full and should I dispute with TU and EQ (they are not on EX) ?  It just really caught me off guard! Smiley Frustrated

I don't know the legalities or anything like that but if nothing else, I'd call them both up immediately and tell them what you say and that you want it x'd out! I'm sure they can understand your reasons for that.
