See moreMixed identity errors - also known as "mixed files" - occur when a consumer's credit report contains information belonging to someone else. These errors can result in credit reports showing unpaid debts, bankruptcies, or unfamiliar addresses, even when the consumer has no connection to these records. For thousands of Americans each year, mixed identity errors cause financial hardship, job loss, and personal stress.
See moreA wrongful deceased status typically originates from errors at the Social Security Administration, creditors, or credit bureaus. An SSA data mix-up - such as a mistyped Social Security number or name - can incorrectly trigger death notices across financial systems. Creditors sometimes misreport a customer as deceased due to clerical mistakes during account servicing or after a customer dies and joint accounts are involved. Even when creditors provide accurate data, credit bureaus like Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion can mistakenly apply a deceased flag to the wrong file, especially when people share similar identifying information. Once a “deceased indicator” is attached, automated systems across industries rapidly cut off access, amplifying the damage.
