I asked for a copy of mine and my husband 's credit report after seeing inappropriate data on documents presented at the time of closing on our house. A GENEROUS amount of incorrect information appeared on our credit report - over XXXX credit cards that do not belong to us, with a name and address in another state. I called Transunion, the credit bureau responsible for the additional data, as they had included ALL information for an individual who has the same first name and last initial as mine. Uncomfortable with the fact that I now have all of HER personal information - address, place of work and every credit card number she does/has possessed, I also wanted the appropriate credit score for mine and my husband 's credit history. I asked Transunion to remove her information from the credit report. They assured me they would clean up the credit report and send me a new XXXX within a couple of weeks. That happened on or around XXXX XXXX. 
I called the company today, XXXX XXXX. Today the Transunion representative indicated they could send a new credit report out, but it would not include fresh credit ratings. Further, today the representative indicated that XXXX HAD already been sent on XXXX XXXX. When I asked the question, " To what address? '' the response was THE ADDRESS OF THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL?!?!?! 
This is a bigger issue than getting my credit report cleaned up or getting a fresh credit report and credit score, although those are important aspects to me, as well. There is an alarming gap in processes that allow for me to see information with a Social Security number of a person who simply has the same first name and same first initial of last name ( not even the same last name ) as mine. And, even more alarming, now I am extremely vulnerable, since this other person has been sent a printed copy of all of MY personal information - including my social security number. I am absolutely stunned - I have XXXX social security number, distinctive from any other person and a computer filters exact data, not " approximate '' data. 
In a climate where great caution is encouraged, identity theft is rampant and government agencies are in place to protect the consumer, I am mystified that this could happen. 
To add insult to injury, Transunion will not provide a full credit report without charging me and will not freeze my account without charging me. They have created an incredibly vulnerable environment for someone who keeps my nose to the grindstone, pays bills on time and trusts that the processes in place will protect me. 
I do not even know where to go from here, or what I should do to further protect mine and my husband 's data, strong financial history and my social security number?!?!?!? It has now been sent to someone whose only common data point with me is the same first name.
