Getting account number on closed accts

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know how to get a full credit card account number on an old charged off account? Equifax has the wrong DOFD while Transunion and Experian have already removed the account. I tried calling Capital One to see if they could provide copies of my account statements from when the account became delinquent in 2011. I have all numbers of the account EXCEPT the last four, as the credit bureaus always block the last four digits. Capital one was unsuccessful in finding the old account by using my social security number. Any advice?

Any chance you have an old receipt in your email mailbox that you purchased using that card?  Those typically show the last 4, so together with ther first 12 you could piece together the full 16.  Otherwise, I'm not sure.

I'm able to see the last four digits of the card used for an Amazon order (in the "My Account" section of their website) from 20 years ago.

(Now I feel old...)

That’s a really great idea!! I am not really sure if I have kept anything from then but I will do some digging.

Another thought hit me, and I just checked my inbox (yes, I keep a very untidy inbox) and see that the monthly "Your card statement is ready" emails from my now-closed card are in there, and include the last four.

@UncleB you still enjoying that Usher CD and Titanic VHS?
