I posted this in my "personal" journal, and I felt the need to share this with a broader audience for more chances of helping words.
Why oh why does EX make it so difficult to delete personal information? 
I have a legit reason for wanting all of my addresses deleted from my credit report and they are acting like I am committing a crime. Due to the nature of my job, I accumulated 24 (Yes 24) addresses listed on my CR! The way I see it that is 24 potential chances of identity theft in today's world, especially since most of them were GOV'T multiple dwelling housing units.
I have followed their rules, and played their game, and all i keep getting is the "We are unable to remove this address due it being associated with a validated account.."....I've looked and the associated accounts are closed account no longer updating!
TU and EQ, hats of to you for making a simple call worth while. EX, you have mail on the way!
Has anybody else experienced this? Am I going about this the wrong way? I have called, faxed and mailed disputes...what else can i do? I know I may be asking for a lot, but I feel like if one can do it, they all should be able to do it!
Update the addresses on your closed accounts to your current address then try again.
Yeah I guess I could do that. Do you think there is a risk of reaging a baddie if they decide to update with "ND" due to the address change? Thanks!

They could update to the current date thats always a possibility, one other thing you dont want to do this if they are still within the SOL. I did not realize we were discussing baddies here as well.
Its not an unsettled account...its a paid CO (i know i know. I am still kicking myself) but it is not showing as such right now. Its is showing as a positive Closed tradeline "Paid or Paying as agreed" "Paid in full". I think that i will just leave those alone and update the positive tradelines for now and try to get my number of addy's down some.
I can't wait to hear the CSR response when i ask to update the address on an account that has been closed for few years now lol. Well thanks for the help!
