It gets worse when you're a contractor and regular consumer protections don't apply, since they address you as a business.

I'm currently receiving unwanted attention from a credit scoring company, whose sales person said falsehoods about their records about me just to make a sale. I had to go to their office to confirm that without buying a subscription, because while they're legally compelled to give me this information, they don't have to make it easy, so the only ways are appearing there personally or usig snail mail.



Name and shame?


I kind of want to, but they're local to Poland and maybe, just maybe their lawyers are reading this. Also they're infamous for such practices now that legislation protecting from loans taken using a stolen id is in effect and they lost their value proposition.

In any case when I went there I've met a man who had a poor credit score because a person with the same name and almost the same id number had a court case against him, and someone somewhere made a typo.

Strong case for giving children original names.
