Credit Report. Wrong Person

Today I went to the web site to get copies of my free annual credit report from the three agencies and had a very bizarre thing happen.

For Equifax I did not get my report but my wife’s credit report. This despite I entered my social security number and my date of birth. I don’t begin to understand how that could happen. I was glancing at it and at first was confused but then looked at the name on it and it was my wife’s maiden name.

TransUnion gave me mine and the 3rd one (Expiran?) did not give me one at all. It is bad enough that hackers can get in at times but when you can’t even validate info and give someone their own report, that seems like a serious error.

Anyone else ever had anything like this happen?
