Wow it is really sobering to see how much information one company has. Now imagine this spread across all the businesses you interact with on a daily basis.

    The credit reporting agencies don't actually verify any of that information, so most of it is junk. Apparently my "legal name" is "Johnathon Rockway". Yeah...

        Google collects its own information, so it is in control of the quality. When you pull someone's credit report, you don't know if what's listed is entirely accurate, and you don't know what it's omitting. So there is a difference.
