Much like your credit report, you're entitled to a free copy of your LexisNexis report. For most people it's at least an order of magnitude larger than your credit report. The hard copy that comes in the mail is a surprisingly large stack of paper. The number of errors in my report was almost comical. I was surprised to find out I own a 300,000 mixed use building in a trendy part of town with Class A office space. It also showed that I filed an insurance claim for hail damage on a house I was renting. Obviously it was the landlord who had the policy and handled the repairs.

- semicolon_storm 6y agoIf you’re an adult in the US, they already have all that info about you. I’ve written some software that makes calls to various LexisNexis services and it’s insane how much data they have.
- happyconcepts 6y agoFrom the article: The company claims it holds 283 million distinct individual dossiers of 99.99% accuracy tied to “LexIDs,” unique identification codes that make pulling all the material collected about a person that much easier
- mint2 6y agoHowever they seem to intentionally use the worst half hearted id lookup for those requests. I tried multiple addresses and they still kept sending me papers saying they could not find my record:
