I've never failed the questions, but am I the only one that gets a little freaked out about the information that is known about you when you have to answer these questions?

It's all information that is in the credit report anyway. Unless they start asking you about a car loan that you don't have. :)

I once put additional security on my credit and the depth of the questions asked if I needed to open an account or check on something was even more scary.

My credit report is all over the place so I'm not sure I'd be the best person to give advice haha

When they ask which address is a former address I'm often not sure if any of the choices were a former address of mine or not.

Haha. I don't remember the address for the first 5 places I lived at, but but everything since I was 10 is covered.

When they ask which address is a former address I'm often not sure if any of the choices were a former address of mine or not.

Up this time was Experian.

 

However, I seem to have failed the security questions. Something was obviously wrong, because I chose "none of the above" for all of the questions. And two of the questions seemed to reference a car purchase in the last year. So I went ahead and purchased my report, but nothing unexpected showed up.

 

Has anyone ever had an issue like this?
