Like holy shit what is wrong with the world. Everywhere is too dark, or too expensive, or too remote, or decrepit as hell. Doesn't help that my mom's credit score is in the garbage thanks to years of scraping by as a single parent, so while I'm lucky to have a fairly high one we're immediately disqualified from many places even though she can show regular deposits in her bank account.
As a result we might be stuck paying for a prohibitively expensive PMC radlib short term lease digital nomad unit in the middle of nowhere. God damn America, god damn commodified housing, god damn the credit system, damn it all
My parents had this problem growing up, this was in the stone ages, so it may not be as reliable now a days, they may have miswrote some numbers on the SN portion (like changing a 4 to a 9) of the application and happened to get into some place. This worked a few times in their favor.
Yeah doubt that would work. Everything is digital and connected now. If you gave an SSN the credit report would pull up a name and it wouldn’t match yours. There’s multiple redundant reporting bureaus, so multiple redundant copies of your credit history. There’s no way that multiple banks and agencies would all be missing info that would prove you’re not who you say. You would have to go all the way into identity theft and fraud to pull this off, forging documents and shit
