Ask HN: Has anyone else looked into their NCTUE credit report?

  • The poster is referring to this Krebs security post: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/05/think-youve-got-your-cre...

    And the HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17029913

    I did request my NCTUE report after reading that (and froze my credit there) but there was nothing unexpected.

  • Looks like some verticalized credit reporting agency that is in bed with telecoms.

    Send them properly worded request (better on legal firm letterhead) to remove these charges - however consult with lawyer to make it their problem, not yours.

    Otherwise they'll reply with "You need to resolve it with Comcast or whoever"

  • I've had good luck filing complaints with the CFPB to get things fixed on my credit reports for some of the other credit reporting agencies: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/

  • I did. Verizon was listed on mine and I've never used them.

  • Why do you care? Looks like this “credit agency” is only used by telecoms scum and not by any reputable companies.

    I’d personally love to have a marker that tells the nasty telcos that I am “no good” and they shouldn’t bother doing business with me.
