Agreed, not only have a not too long periods of unemployment, I cannot be employed in my current condition, let alone the fact that I'm a convicted felon in the eyes of the credit companies, and databases. I was quoted at $12,000 to fix my records and get them straight. So head hunters who access this database will see that I am falsely stated as a convicted felon. When in actuality during my initial court hearings on my past crimes, it is stipulated that after successfully completing probation, my felon would be expunged. Unfortunately, the databases like Equifax and others, have me mistakenly put down as a felon.
Why so much money? It's obviously not in Equifax et al.'s best interests to have incorrect information in their databases. One would think they'd be glad to fix the records, at least for a reasonable fee.
I was told that by the time of my inquiry, that I would have to hire a private detective to go in and see information I'm not entitled to along with my personal information that I know to be in there and needs to be corrected. The fees for this at the time is $100 or was. But I don't have any money right now, so it's really a moot point at this point. Excuse the pun!
