Not entirely related, but...
I have an uncommon last name. It’s Polish, but doesn’t end with “ski”.
So there’s another guy up in Illinois with the same name (first and last). He’s younger than I am, and has less-than-perfect credit.
Despite the fact that our paths have never crossed, nor have we had the same employers or lived in the same places, the credit reporting agencies keep comingling our records. About 10 years ago, I had to dispute multiple items from his report that had bled onto mine.
Recently I went to check my credit and one of the agency’s questions to gain access to my report had obviously been drawing from his report. When I answered the questions accurately, I couldn’t get access to my credit report. Now I’m locked out of it.
Now I have to make a paper request, which involves sending in copies of identity documents and related details. I affectionately refer to that as an “identity theft kit in an envelope”. God help us if anyone intercepts envelopes from consumers going to credit reporting agencies.
It’s easy for me to believe this gentleman’s medical records got mixed up. I’d even bet that the original source was already corrected but the erroneous info continues to spread through the various organizations who “manage” data.
To this day, no one at a hospital or the state and local agencies involved in taking Hall’s guns has admitted to Hall that a mistake was made, explained what happened or apologized
This is fixed rather easily, just ARREST AND PROSECUTE EVERYONE with Access to those Records from the Hospital.
see Twin Peaks biker case.
That may be so. The clinic in this town had my SSN before I ever visited. They asked me whether it was correct the first time I went in.
Easy to say, but you won't get services if you don't cooperate. What are you supposed to do, file suit every time a credit card company asks for your social? Because they ask every time you call. The doctor has it too, want to lose a doctor? How about the bank? They don't have to serve you if you don't please them. Unless they're baking a cake.
Name it.
I will not comply.
I will not submit.
IT IS my ID#, wheather I like it or not.
>>Why wait until 9:30pm to serve this on a 70 year old vet? Was it an emergency situation or did everyone just need a little overtime?
They wanted to beat on the door, alert the man inside, and maybe get to shoot him for “failing to instantly obey”.
Be glad that other guy doesn’t have a criminal record.
I had a client who moved to MO recently and couldn’t land a job, even though he had an excellent work history. Someone at one of the employers who rejected him hinted that there was an issue with his criminal history, so he paid a service to run a criminal records search. Turns out there’s a man in Indiana with the same first, middle, and last names, and the same date of birth. The guy in Indiana has done prison time, and his convictions show up on my client’s record. My client has never lived in Indiana.
Thankfully, the two men’s Social Security numbers have not gotten mixed up, but that’s cold comfort for my client when the background checking services don’t pay attention to these things.
You should have just said "No Habla Inglais," and Bill Richardson would personally deliver you a new DL, no questions asked.
They had to wait until he was home from work?
No, I’m not retired (or active) Military, which is probably why I was ignorant on the matter.
Pigs and mindless drones.
Never occurred to me to check criminal records.
So far that hasn’t been an issue, but you never know.
I joined the army in 1958 my service number is not my ssn.
Yet, President Jimmy Peanut, made all of us, have our SSN replace our military ID #, on our dog tags, to ID each of us on all military records.
Just another reason to get out of NYS.
Hard to get any sort of healthcare these days if you haven’t already provided a SSN - unless you can prove you’re an illegal invader....
That's cause you're not an illegal.
