Every couple of months I check out my clearscore record, just for interest sake.

Yesterday, I came across two new details under my personal profile that I haven't seen on any previous occasions.

Under Employer it showed:

Employer​

Employers address​

SPES TRAINING CC

Employers name​

SPES TRAINING CC

Your Occupation​

SPES TRAINING CC 00


And under Previous addresses: (I'm situated in the CoCT Metropol)

2414 KAALFONTEIN, KAALFONTEIN, TEMBISA, 0000​


KAALFONTEIN KAALFONTEIN T​


I've never lived in any other province nor have any association with said company. I went on bizportal and did a few searches. (all detail below are public domain)

Company History:

The only other details I get online is from a Goverment Gazette from 4 months ago:



In the matter between: ABSA BANK LTD, PLAINTIFF and ETTIENE VAN ASWEGEN, ID 640503 5112 080, 1ST
DEFENDANT and SONJA VAN ASWEGEN, ID 670317 0160 082, 2ND DEFENDANT

Which is the same address as when searching for "Spes Training" on Google with the first result:

1644478633992.png

The second search is
With all related domain details just pointing to Afrihost Cloud details.

The website:

From Linkedin:

Now one thing that gets my attention here is that I'm a certified MICT SETA Assessor and Moderator but never practiced it (just something I did for the fun). When I look at the 27 employees on Linkedin it lists numerous Assessors and Moderators.


Now as far as my limited knowledge stretch with this, I'm sure Experian gets my employer data via some or other form of means when my EMP or TAX forms are submitted to SARS.

So am I correct when assuming someone has listed me on their payroll or books for some reason relating to this matter? Also Kaalfontein seems to be a township in Midrand.

Would be nice if someone has some insight how one accidently get a new listing like this added to your personal credit record.
 
Employer info they get from credit applications.

This. Also data from credit agencies is notoriously inaccurate, outdated and dirty. I would take whatever your credit report says with a pinch of salt unless it's something that is directly affecting your ability to obtain credit.
 
Lol turns out I have lived in Kaalfontein according to that report. Not too bothered by it.
 
Clearscore and transunion are broken both have issues and no matter how many times you send the actual substantial proof of the errors on my reports and it takes forever to change but the month after it was fixed it goes back to the errors. Problem is their reports can make or break any credit app (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

It usually happen when someone is trying to commit fraud with your details, don't take it lightly.

Check your credit report frequently from now on and see if there are any credit enquiries, it would be a wise thing to be one step ahead.
