Old home address just appeared on my TU report... weird

[Anonymous]

I just got a notification that my old address just appeared on my TU account. That address is over 8 years old and for the life of me I cannot figure out what it means for it to reappear after all these years. Makes me this someone is updating my credit report with information they from a company or something. Is it normal for old address to appear on your credit report after so long? I just want to make sure I’m not being paranoid about someone stealing my identity or doing a soft pull on my report for unsavory manors. Any answer would be great.

Is your old address being listed as your current address, or is it popping up as a previous address?

All it say on the Fico app is that “a new address has been detected”. Can you explain the difference if it’s being posted as a new address, or just randomly popping up (as to report it as my previous address)? I mean I haven’t lived their in 8 years, it’s never been on my credit report before then all of a sudden it appears.

Let me just say that’s hilarious 😂. And I didn’t think about that. So does this mean that the 3 bureaus randomly do name, dob, and other searches and just add them to our report randomly. That’s bazaar.

I was told once by someone at TU that stuff gets added from public records but also banks that you do business with... Public Records grab info from social media, USPS, and I think but not sure those so called "FREE" discount cards we all use when buying food example RiteAid.

Yea I was thinking the same thing, but it’s so old I suppose I didn’t think about it before.

Happening to me too and I wondered if it had anything to do with something like whitepages also linking me to relatives addresses I have never even lived at.

Probably a mistake.  When I was living with my parents, I had applied for a Sears card and was denied for having a bankruptcy, which I have never filed bankruptcy.  My father, on the other hand, who has the same middle and last name, lived at the same address, and had the same employer (U.S. Navy), has filed for bankruptcy.  Sears wouldn't let me recon it at all.  I was just blacklisted.

Wow that seems rather systematic to judge you based off of the actions of your dad
