Someone has used my brothers social security number and gotten his credit report. He needs to get one himself and (annual credit report.com) now they won’t let him. Because annual credit report has locked his account. And all the other companies say that he is entitled to just one, (which someone has already gotten). So what can he do to fix this mess. Does anyone know who he can call or anything. thanks
Annual credit report locked his account (i guess its an acct) because someone asked for his report falsley so they don’t want it to happen again. They told him he has to go through another site to get it. but the 3 biggest ones. equifax, experian etc all use annual credit report. so that’s making him go in circles. completely ridiculous.

Go directly through the credit bureaus: Equifax, TransUnion and Experian….

He needs to submit proof of identity and address to the credit bureaus with a written request for his reports. Follow the instructions at annualcreditreport.com.

Well if someone used my SSN to get my credit report, I wouldn’t worry about getting a free one, I would just get one ASAP and worry about the 10 bucks later.
