  • Greatly reduces the time, money and emotional stress associated with a stolen SSN
  1. What do I do if there is a name or address in the Social Security Number Trace report that I don’t recognize? If your report contains names and/or addresses that are not familiar to you, there is probably an error in credit header data – the identifying information that accompanies your credit reports, including information such as name, current and prior address, phone number, date of birth, and SSN. However, this could be an indication of identity theft. If you see unfamiliar information in your Social Security Number Trace report, please contact customer support.
  2. What do I do if an old address is incorrect in the Social Security Number Trace report? It is not uncommon for address history dating back more than 5 years to contain errors. However, if the incorrect address is more recent, please contact customer support.
  3. What do I do if I see a name on the Social Security Number Trace report or notification that isn’t my current name? It’s not uncommon to see alternate names on your report due to marriage, joint credit accounts and nicknames you may have used. However, if you are concerned, please contact customer support.
  4. What time range does my initial Social Security Number Trace report cover? Your first Social Security Number Trace report looks at data beginning from the date your SSN first became associated with credit header data. This could be as early as when you were born and issued an SSN.
