How can landlord add eviction to credit report without my address?

In a previous question I asked if my landlord could add an eviction to my credit report without my correct last name or SSN. One of my responses was that if she had my address I'm "nailed" but I don't see how. What if someone else in the same city had the exact same name? Also, I have moved to another state and my landlord doesn't have my new address. She has my cell phone number but the area code is differnt than the state in which I now reside. Is there any other way the eviction could be added to my credit report? I actually am facing a financial crisis and don't have the money to pay right now.

I used to work for experian and in order for it to go onto the correct report she must have your SSN, BUT since she knows the address where you rented she can contact the light co,phone co,etc and get the SSN. If she really wants it bad enough she will find it one way or the other. Most landlords don't even report it. The only ones that go to all that trouble are the bigger complexes and they usually have SSN on file.
How filing process works. Landlord gives to credit company they have an account with (usually the one that does their credit background checks), a copy of judgement entered into a public court record that you failed to pay rent and were evicted. Landlord doesn't need your address. They already have your full name, previous address, DOB, SSN. They also give copy of any restitutuion you have made on unpaid rental agreement.

So you used a fake last name and social security number?

Um, if your landlord doesn't know who you are, they can't put anything on your credit report. If they know your address, you'll be seen in small claims court as long as real court for identity theft.

Good luck!
