Seven Vital Tips to Help You Collect Your Tenant Debt– Part Two of our Seven Part Series
Now for TIP TWO in our series: TIP TWO A verified Social Security Number, previous address verification and three personal references are a must!
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER SCAM ALERT!
It is absolutely crucial that you ensure the social security number you are given belongs to the person presenting it. If you are not verifying the social security number on all prospects today, start doing it immediately! Here’s a little story to show just how easy it is to scam a landlord:
Let’s say our villain, John D., has bad credit. What does he do? John simply applies for credit with a fake number. The first time a credit report is requested, it’ll come back ’no file found’ because that number was not listed with the credit bureau. But that very act caused a new file to be created - a new file for John D. with that number!!!! The next time a report is requested for Mr. D., using that number, the report will now show ’no credit’. All our illustrious villain has to do now is be persistent in building credit under that fake number.
