LEXISNEXIS/STATE FARM Inquiry

johnicek — Wed, 15 May 2013 03:42:16 GMT

I just checked my Experian report for the first time ever. It shows a request on 5/8/2013 from LEXISNEXIS/STATE FARM

The comment states: On behalf of STATE FARM INSURANCE COM for Insurance underwriting

I am not insured through State Farm. I think I may have requested a quote a while ago, but I never gave them my SSN, only my Driver's Liscense Number. Can they still check it from that info?

Just wondering why/how they checked it, and if this is pretty normal to see?

Was this a soft pull?

Yes, creditors can pull your credit without access to your SSN.

Yes, it was a soft pull. I did not know they could do that without SSN. Interesting, though, and now I at least know why it's there.

Thanks!
