This is the one about my credit.
A few weeks ago I posted about the $65,000 worth of debt that was on my credit report and did not belong to me. Well I can now report that it is almost 100% resolved.
I had to wait on hold for a while with Experian, but once I was able to speak with a real human, the process was relatively quick and painelss.
22 “potentailly negative” items of credit were removed from my credit report. Hallelujah.
And last weekend I was able to buy a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer. She’s a sturdy little car with good gas mileage. And blog readers will probably be seeing more of her soon…in the form of traffic blogs and photos.
And just hours after purchasing the car, I already had my Obama 2008 magnet on the rear.

Yay for you on the good credit and the new car!
Magnet: good for you for not being like all those people still stuck with “Kerry ’04″ or (even worse) “Bush ’04″

Glad to hear that things got resolved! I hope you enjoy the car.

I’m glad that your credit has been almost resolved! How would they prevent this from happening again? I mean, if this person is using your SSN, then do you get issued a new one? Or what happens?

Just make sure you keep that fraud alert on your number. You might want to invest in Experian’s credit monitoring service as well. I have of and I get an email whenever something happens to my credit.

Or, get a Providian credit card to monitor your monthly FICO score for free. No annual fee and it’s pretty thorough and accurate info from TransUnion.
