The Hidden Dangers of Creating a New Credit File
Understanding the Risks of Extreme Credit Repair Measures
Dealing with a bad credit rating can push some individuals to drastic actions, such as creating a new credit file. While this approach might seem tempting, it erases all previous credit history?"both the good and the bad?"posing significant risks.
The possibility of initiating a new credit file arises due to the sheer volume of data. In the U.S., thousands of births and deaths occur daily, leading to constant changes within credit bureau systems. These institutions manage financial histories for millions, often leading to overlapping information for people with similar names and birthdates.
This overlap creates loopholes that some exploit to fabricate new credit identities. The complexity and limitations in data sharing to protect privacy rights further complicate the situation, offering opportunities for manipulation.
Common Methods of Creating a New Credit File
1. Using the Same Name with Different Details: Manipulating personal data while keeping the same name.
2. Changing the Name: Keeping the same personal details but altering the first or last name.
3. Adopting an Alias: Using a completely different identity with new or existing details.
Methodically crafted, these new credit files might appear legitimate, perceived as anomalies by credit systems. For instance, two individuals might share a name and birthdate but reside in different places.
Some techniques mirror legitimate actions like name changes for personal or religious reasons or acquiring new driving licenses when moving states. However, crossing the line into illegality occurs when these changes aim to dodge financial responsibilities, such as avoiding credit card payments.
Creating false identification, like a fake social security number, could constitute a felony under the Federal Trade Commission’s Credit Repair Act.
Navigating the Complexities of Credit Repair
With myriad rules and potential consequences, it’s crucial to understand the legal boundaries. Homework is essential to avoid unintentional legal violations.
