No YOU woke up to identity theft and fraudulent accounts.

Apparently I'm not allowed to go more than a week or so without an anxiety attack.

Just tried to put a fraud alert on my credit report with Equifax and I could not pass their questions to verify my identity. JFC!!!!!!

Oh no, msbelle! What an enormous PITA.

Ugh. I'm glad this happened AFTER you bought your house, though!

It looks like the one thing I did yesterday before I found out all our tools were messed up was wrong, and by my mistake not the tools. I can't figure out how exactly what I think I did wrong gave the results I now have, but I think I can fix it without getting to the bottom of that....

Sorry Dana, health insurance issues sucks. Sorry, msbelle, dealing with fraud sucks.

With the news, I'm trying not to keep peeking at Twitter and keep working on parsing strings into time.

Perl's Date::Parse module is seriously one of the most versatile pieces of code I've ever come across. It can deal with pretty much any unambiguous date or time string you throw at it. It just works.

msbelle - my experience is that once you buy/refinance a house, all kinds of scams and problems show up. The mortgage lenders cheerfully sell you information to anyone who asks. Good luck dealing with them.

Bennett, I bought for cash, no mortgage though. This may be from a prelim application just to get preapproval numbers for a mortgage. That or the Capital One data breach or one of the other hundred data breaches in the last few years.

Fuckers.

Fuckers indeed.

Woke up with either stomach flu or food poisoning. Woot. Still easier to deal with than identity fraud, I'm sure.
