ChexSystems does not have salary information. They contain information on bank accounts that have been overdrawn, bad checks, and checkbook orders. They also contain information on accounts in good standing, and the usual information like aliases, addresses, SSNs, and driver license numbers.
Lexis Nexis long since moved beyond newspaper and courthouse archiving. They have dozens of intelligence products and databases aimed at marketing, debt collection, private investigators, and law enforcement. They collect massive personal consumer (and business) data, including retail purchases and returns, and salaries, and associate it in a Facebook-style graph, loosely associated with SSN and DL#.
- bogomipz 9y agoInteresting about both, thanks. I suppose it's just a matter of time before both of these are compromised. In fact is surprising that they haven't. I wonder if this is just because they aren't as well known as the big 3?
- Pixeleen 9y agoLexis sells access to everything although some of the databases are pricey. I have not heard of a ChexSystems breach yet. They are integrated with most banks. Even with normal use and no breaches, all these cross-referenced databases are hell for those of us who went through a gender transition. It is practically impossible to get rid of references to my old name. It outs me anytime I open a bank/credit account or arrange new insurance.
