what can someone do with a copy of my credit report?

George G asked:


I ordered a copy of my credit report only to find out that they sent it to my old address which now has new tenants. The good news is I had them only display the last 4 digits of my SS number.

   Flood your email and snail mail and telephone line with advertisements.
   Beware of identity theft.

   Either it can possibly ruin your life- or if they are good tenants like direct it back to the post office. Hopefully nothing you had on your credit report displayed the entire account number or you are screwed. With todays hackers, fraudsters, etc you never know what new scam is cooking
