My father and I have the same first name and middle initial (but different middle names). As a result, I've spent at least 1 entire calendar month in the past decade to "disentangle" our credit reports. With Equifax it wasn't finally resolved until I showed up unannounced at a regional office in a suit. Yet again, we're entangled with TransUnion (after last resolving it 18 months ago), with me having to enter security questions as if I were my father in order to confirm my identity. The most maddening part is it is extremely difficult to talk to someone in the US if you have a problem with any of the large three bureaus.
