Here's an interesting true scenario:
I was born one name, changed it when I got married and when I got divorced, my stupid divorce attorney screwed up and now my legal real name is my old middle name, my old last name's first initial as a middle name, and my old last name (i.e. I was born Jane Anne Doe, married name was Anne Doe Smith, now my legal name is Anne D. Doe). All three names are on my credit report.
Some dolt in the GA. department of revenue mistyped my SS number and made it into that of farmer in S. GA about 12+ years ago. Since then, I've had a MASSIVE amount of problems. So many that I couldn't even close on the last house I bought until I wrote a check to the closing attorney for $500+ for the "tax lien" against me (oops - it was against the OTHER SS#), even though I had offered to pay the damn thing for years, just to get it off my report. But since that's not REALLY my SS#, no one could even tell me where to pay it. 3 months after closing, the attorney sent me the check back because THEY couldn't find out where to pay it. It's STILL on my credit report and I STILL can't get a state tax ID for my company because of this screw up even though I've been trying for 5 years. The state of GA swears that my social security number isn't mine - even though I've had it since I was 10 and I've been paying taxes with it in GA since I was 16. For 12+ years, I've apparently had 2 SS#'s.
My credit card bill that I use to pay for my plane tickets and my plane tickets all go to a different address than is shown on my credit report as my home address.
I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, am I?
