Lexis-Nexis report

How do you go about getting it and how much$$$?

I believe that if any organization is collecting information about you (be it financial, or personal, you have a right to know what information they have, and to correct any information which is not correct.

It appear that LexisNexis does charge a nominal $8.00 fee to access your files. I do not know for sure if this is a request which should fall under the auspices of the FACT ACT or not, but given that they claim they do not maintain financial information, I sort of doubt it does.

I totally agree, Clay, but I know of people who have written to fix erroneous information in the report, and LN says "NOPE!" It totally creeps me out.

On the other hand, I have talked to people who have been able to get in touch with lost relatives, old high school friends, etc. with the information that they find on the report. I guess it's not ALL bad, but I don't like the idea of all that kind of info being farmed like that.

Ok, curiosity has the best of me, and I just ordered my report..It says it will be mailed out within 45 days. So we shall see.

And I've heard that it takes at LEAST those 45 days, if not longer. Really weird.

~Mary

We'll see...I have my confirmation number.

I wonder why it takes so long?

I have NO IDEA. The whole thing is really weird...

~Mary

I'm just curious to what they have on me...lol

I know, I'm thinking about ordering one too, just to see!

~Mary

I wonder if it will tell if anyone else has asked for it?

I'm not sure about that one.......I doubt it. They don't really follow any "rules" or "laws" since they aren't subject to the same things as credit reports.

~Mary

We shall find out in the next 2 months or so....It can't be a bad thing to know what's on there.

The one bad thing is if you have the same name as someone else..lol There is another Jessica with my same middle name and last name that lives in the next town over...She's a real troublemaker. I've been confused for her before..lol

your evil twin perhaps,lol :P

I think so...lol I've been in Hilliard before and people like, "hmm, I've heard of you.." And I'm like, "Maybe, maybe not." LOL

Oh god, that must suck!!!

~Mary

I've had that happen to me too. But I tell them,I pity that poor girl if sh's like me. It's pretty spooky though, I had someone tell me in a store,"I remember you from yesterday" and I told them it was my first time in the store :shock: !!...Karen

It used to be, but now I think it's funny...Makes me feel famous..lol

they have a sample of a personal report on their web site, I don't recall seeing a section for requests for information on it..
