Username Change

user1200988 — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 03:43:17 GMT

Hello,

Would someone please do me the honor of changing my username to Username_Censored? I would really appreciate that, or my original name Swapmeet, as I was a contributing member for a few years around 2012-2016ish and hadn't logged in for a long time. Now it seems as though my former account was deleted. So, I made a new account, but was told that my username was inappropriate. It was Haywood_Jablomey--- a funny name at an adult-based site, but I do respect the rules around here. So I do not mind changing it to Username_Censored, since that is also a funny name and 100% accurate. I am not mad about the whole thing; it is just a little annoying. All my posts under my first and second accounts have been respectful and aimed to help other members in their credit journey.

Thank you very much!,

Username_Censored

Hi,

Awesome. I am not sure. I just lost track of the account. I bought a couple of houses and got too busy. Then I lived outside the US for around 7 years and then came back and needed to kind of rebuild the credit I had when I came back. But it said that it couldn't find my credentials, so I figured it was deleted for lack of use. It might be my email, though I have had the same email since AOL 56k. I think the problem is I signed up for myfico under my email to check on my FICO scores, and I don't know if you can log into the community as a different login than for the FICO service. So it is just kind of messed up. I have reached the limit of private messages @ShalomD, that's why I'm responding here.

Okay! I'll send you some information privately. Please confirm here when you've seen it.

The problem is, I try to get the reset email, and it asks some questions, then sees this account and sends it to my current email. Because of my birthdate and ss number. Is there any way you can send or cause to be sent an email to the swapmeet email so I can click a link, or can you merge the account? If you want me to prove it is mine, just pm me an email address and I will send you an email from the swapmeet email address... Otherwise you can merge the accounts, or something. I would like to have my posts, signature, and level of membership status that has passed all the minimum post and kudos requirements.

I am down for whatever. However... The problem is going to be that before I signed up for the forums, I signed up with myfico to get my reports and see what's what. So... as long as that isn't affected, go for it. Well, just go for whatever... lol what is the worst that can happen?
