Wrong address, wrong employer on all 3 reports

Hi, new to the forum so I apologize in advance if this topic has already been spoken and beat into the ground.
Anyway, there is a incorrect address and incorrect employer listed on all 3 reports. Question is: Does this really matter and what should I do? Thanks! Jeff

Re: Wrong address, wrong employer on all 3 reports

A few clarifying questions

 

1. Is the incorrect address and employer outdated information, or completely incorrect?

2. Is it the same address and employer on all 3 reports, or are they all incorrect in different ways?

Kree, thank you for replying! The information is dated 02/01/18 for the employer and the address isn't dated. I've never lived there. I've never even been there. The employer listed, I never heard of either. It is on all 3 reports. Thanks! Jeff

Re: Wrong address, wrong employer on all 3 reports

While there are innocuous reasons for this information to appear on your reports, there is also a chance that your Social Security number is being used by someone else to gain employment in the USA. This would be a form of identity theft (or could be a clerical error). I would log into your Social Security account and check recent statements. If you are being credited for work at the unknown employer, then someone is using your number.

Kree,
I'm checking with S.S. later today for sure. That's a extremely scary thought! If thieves only spent their ambitions on actual work...
