Woman sues credit agency after misidentification

Seattle, WA —

A Seattle woman is suing Experian credit reporting agency for creating a mixed credit file, combining her information with another woman’s.

The other woman has the same first name, but has a different last name and a Social Security number that is different by one digit.

Heidi Rene Johnson said it resulted in almost two years of fighting credit agencies, banks and debt collectorsover problems that are not hers.

Johnson first noticed something wrong when she was denied a Macy’s card, then heard from her bank that it was lowering her spending limit from $10,000 to $500.
