Name Change

I just got an alert that the name on my credit report from equifax that my name and bday had changed. the odd thing is that it changed to my husbands information. We have been married for over 20 years and have no idea why it would change at all. Anyone know what would cause this?

Re: Name Change

Yeah, after 20 years living together, you kind of begin to morph into each other...

 

Seriously though, did you apply for any credit jointly (anything where you'd have given them both of your SSNs)? If someone got the SSNs mixed up, and pulled (or, more likely, reported with a new account) your credit, but used your husband's name and birthday, it might resister as you using that new name and date. That's the first thing that occurs to me.

Re: Name Change

My old CU got mine and my husband's ssn's mixed up. Finally have that straightened out. Could be something similar
