End of the story:
JUST TO UPDATE YOU GUYS; I WORKED FOR A COMPANY AND THEY MADE ME AN AU ON A BIZ CREDIT CARD WITHOUT LETTING ME KNOW.

IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO FIND THIS INFORMATION OUT. EVERY TIME I CALLED AMEX, THEY WOULD TELL ME THEY CAN'T DISCLOSE INFORMATION, JUST CONFIRM IT IF I SAID THE CORRECT ANSWER. SO I HAD TO PLAY A GUESSING GAME WITH THE REP UNTIL I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.

THANKS FOR YOUR INPUTS A WHILE BACK

SHOULD I BE WORRIED??
« on: January 12, 2013, 12:00:00 PM »
Hi,

Amex said I was a customer of theirs since 2006 but I only got my first CC about 6 months ago! I asked them what card I had and they said: The Business Platinum Card ending in 91013 (cancelled on 2/29/2012)

I never applied nor cancelled that card!

Should I be worried? What should I do from here??

Thanks!

No. Also the first time I was an additional cardholder was about 9 months ago on my dad's Macy's card. But that's it. I've NEVER owned a credit card in my life !  Something sounds shady here!

The only reason why I asked about the credit cards "I own" is because they said I was a customer of Amex since 2006 - but that's a bit odd because I never applied for anything until 6 months ago...

I would find out if any of your relatives/friends etc. made you an AU.

I am pretty sure no body made me an AU on their account.

Is there a way I can find out the account details or a list of cards I've "OWNED" in the past?

Thanks in advance

Did you check you CR? See what it says because that's the correct info.

Just checked AnnualCreditReport.com and it didn't mention anything about the Plat Biz Amex card.

It mentioned I had a Kohls Chase Card in 2006 which I remember signing up for (OK, yea,  I had that credit card which I used once for the 30% discount :) but not a Amex Bizz Plat Card

Maybe somebody added AUs for SBS, and made up a random SSN for one of them, which just happened to be your SSN?

Call amex and find out what's going on.

But wouldn't the name and ssn have to match.

If he was added as an AU on someone who had an account since 2006 it would show.
