I have a few bank accounts with banks that don't have branches. To "verify" your Id they ask you questions from your credit report - which can be problematic. "What was the payment and term on a loan you had 5 years ago?" Fuck if I ever knew what the payment or term was, I didn't care when I took out the loan, I had my own payment schedule (I think if you can't pay back a loan [with the exception of a mortgage] in a year or two you really can't afford the loan...). Some of the stuff I just plain can't remember!
The best was when they asked me which model of car I had owned... and listed two cars that I had owned... I could only select one.
These records can be flat out wrong too. The DMV associates a car with my address that I don't own, for example. I think this happened because the owner never changed their address with the DMV. Or someone could have just fat fingered something which gets populated to other databases with data sharing.
