And IIRC as of March 1st (this Tuesday) these agencies are required to give
you a credit report for no cost...

They are rolling out the free reports in phases by region of the
country. West coast got theirs starting Jan. 1. The midwest has them
available starting Mar. 1. That's good for Dog3, as he is a St. Louis
guy and can get them (and REALLY needs them).

I had some goofy stuff show up on my credit report. I had to pay for the
report, too. It listed me as having worked for someone I never worked for;
had my work address as my home address (who at home has a 'suite' number?);
had me owing money for trash pickup when I lived in apartments where it's
included in the rent. Then of course MCI 'slammed' me for long distance
charges when I never used them for anything, let alone long distance. They
would only take 3 months of charges off my bill because I didn't notice it
sooner - it was only a buck or so a month so I didn't notice it right away.
(sigh)

It was always free if you told them you were persuing ID theft and gave
them a police report number.

Please start following usenet conventions and quote a reasonable
portion of the post you are replying to, so that people know what you
are talking about. I know that it isn't obvious how to do so, because
Google screwed it up, but it isn't difficult.

Instead of using the Reply at the bottom of the message, click "show
options". Then use the Reply in the expanded headers.

Thanks.

I=B4ve posted here for several years and today I freaking forgot to use
the alternative show options method to reply. So shoot me. Are you so
perfect that you never make mistakes or errors?

1=2E It's become a big problem with all the people starting to post from
Groople. I try to post the instructions occasionally because many
people using the service don't know HOW to quote.

2=2E You didn't "forget" once, it was at least a half-dozen times. Had it
been a one-time thing, I wouldn't have mentioned it. It was a pattern
with you.

3=2E We all make mistakes. I haven't forgotten to quote when posting from
Google. Make of that what you will.

I forgot to mention that the thing is a year old. I assume that the numbers
are still valid, but if they're not they'll at least point people in the
right direction. The important thing is to have the organizations' names

Kyle

if you inform them you are persuing and identity theft case, the credit
report is free...as well as the follow up reports with corrected
information. Been there, done that, got the stacks of file folders,
international phone bills, and fax fees to prove it!
