Typos make life interesting. I once received an email from a colleague that said, “The fat is on its way.” He meant to type fax. I got a good laugh out of it though.

Fat? What fat? I’ve got enough of my own, thank you very much. But I sure did need that fax.

Sometimes typos aren’t so funny. Like when someone with a social security number one digit off from yours files for bankruptcy and due to a recording error that information finds its way onto your credit report.

Or when someone steals your social security number and opens credit in your name—but with the wrong spelling so it will take longer to become associated with your credit file and appear on your credit report, giving them longer to run up debt in your name.

Life happens. Typos happen—sometimes on purpose, other times not. So make sure you are protecting your credit report from both common mistakes and the fastest growing crime in America.
