When Axton Betz-Hamilton set up her first utility bill at college, she soon realized something was very, very wrong.
It turned out she’d been a victim of identity theft—and it had destroyed her credit rating.
In 2001, when she was a 19-year-old student, Betz-Hamilton’s new utility provider demanded a $100 security deposit to turn on her service, citing her credit score.
“I thought it was because I didn’t have enough credit,” she told Fortune. But when a copy of her credit report turned up in her mailbox six weeks later, she learned the opposite was true.
This isn’t new. One of my cousins did this to three of her four kids. 😬 This has been a thing for ages.
My wife’s bio-birth pod did this to a few of her siblings. It’s kinda wild that it’s even possible.
What’s a bio birth pod? Another term for her biological family because they were no family to her?
Her biological mother who’s a terrible waste of oxygen, ya. So far gone on drugs she doesn’t recognize her own kids when asking them for change down town.
Well yes, the example given is from 2001
