I read that 1/3 of all credit files have errors. I've been tracking my
credit report since the early 90's, and have found errors every time I
get a report. Fortunately, they are always not my accounts, and the
accounts were current.
Over a 30% error rate, and we base the stability of our country's
economy on it. Amazing.
