Identity questions ask about wrong address

I was just opening a bank account and one of the questions was "In what county was your previous [city] address?"    I never lived there (but thanks to Wiki, this city is in only one county so I used that!)   I previously had a question about a different city and managed to get that deleted from one of my credit reports.    Checking TU/EX/EQ, none of them have such an address.  Where else can I look for where this wrong info is coming from.   Note there is no fraud on my accounts, my name, longtimelurker, is apparently common enough.....

Re: Identity questions ask about wrong address

Do you have any AU accounts or joint accounts?

 

I used to have a couple of joint accounts with my ex-girlfriends.  A couple of car loans that I co-signed for one and a Care Credit account that I had my name on for another.  Both of those accounts brought former addresses of theirs on to my credit reports.  Sometimes I'd see verification questions related to those addresses that I was barely familiar with, which was kind of annoying.
