So you have to provide IDSCan with even more personal information to add to their database in order to find out if they gave away any previous information they collected on you?
Seems so. I do not think I want to send my info. They fucked up once, not taking the chance of a second time unless they change the way you find out.
I had my ID stolen once in the past luckily they only used it for a credit card. They maxed it out and probably moved on, I did not know until I started getting collections stuff. I tried working with the police, and other agencies including that bank, but in the end I was forced to just pay off the debt because whatever bank it was was being a dick about it and the police where useless. I got some credit lock put on whatever it was, worst mistake ever! It was just a hassle to do anything involving credit stuff. I now just do a soft credit check once a month to make sure nothing has happened.
How much was it? I would habe taken them to court and have them prove that I opened the account.
It was a couple hundred dollars
You should sue whatever company exposed your data to them and didn’t have it destroyed as soon as the use was fulfilled.
It’s a good idea in theory but I suspect they’ll claim that they’re never done with submitted IDs. To effectively verify IDs you need to prevent two different people from submitting the same ID. To do that, you need to store all previously submitted (unique) IDs. That use case should be made illegal, of course, but it isn’t yet.
