I was the victim of identity theft in the 90s, and I often get questions based on the address, and fake credit accounts the thief opened. Super frustrating.
Similar scenario here. While my ex-wife and I were separated, pre-divorce, she thoughtfully applied for credit in my name and gave the address where she was living. Now I have to either choose to lie or fail this type of identity verification. I should really take the time to contact the credit bureaus and get it fixed.
