"The Dossiers They Keep On You"
|
||
by -Q-
|
||
|
||
|
||
Foreword:
|
||
This article deals with the field of information and records, or to
|
||
put it more accurately; "DOSSIERS". I do not want to get into a
|
||
whole 1,000 page discussion about this, and believe me, I could.
|
||
The field of records, and dossier information is enourmous. They
|
||
say that in the United States... Their is almost more dossier info
|
||
kept on you, than in all the books and magazines in libraries
|
||
across america!
|
||
|
||
Rather, I'll just get to the "meat of the matter":
|
||
* What information they have on you?
|
||
* Where you can get it?
|
||
* What are the major database companies?
|
||
* What do they charge to let you access records?
|
||
* Who do they let access records?
|
||
* Whats in the records?
|
||
* Do these companies violate ethical standards, or do they
|
||
give out private info that is illegal to disclose?
|
||
* Who regulates these companies?
|
||
|

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
WHERE CAN YOU GET INFORMATION FOR FREE? (or by yourself)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
FOIA- Freedom of Information Act was created by the government to allow
|
||
private individuals to access government held records so long as
|
||
they are not classified. To submit an FOIA you must contact the
|
||
FBI in your local area, and send in a written submission. You
|
||
should get a good manual, or book on submitting FOIA forms before
|
||
you do so. In general FOIA's are free so long as the information
|
||
is deemed to be of public interest. If you are digging up a
|
||
criminal record on yourself, then you must pay a small fee.
|
||
With an FOIA search you can get information on almost anything!
|
||
This pertains to government projects, government agencies, govt
|
||
statistics or crime statistics, government expenditures, as well
|
||
as information about arrests. You can dig up information about
|
||
terrorist groups, or assasins, or known "subversive" groups.
|
||
Basically, if you can think of a topic of interest, you can do an
|
||
FOIA on it.
|
||
You must however properly submit the FOIA for proper results...
|
||
The FBI takes your request very literally, and they will only give
|
||
you what you directly ask for, meaning they'll ive you as little
|
||
information as they can get away with. When wording your FOIA
|
||
it is best to be very elaborate stating exactly what you want, and
|
||
also ask for related information that you didntlist, and also ask
|
||
for other similar cases, groups or events, etc.. Basically you want
|
||
to word your FOIA request so that you can suck as much information
|
||
from the FBI as possible. Classified documents will be provided
|
||
but the information will all be crossed out with black ink in the
|
||
appropriate areas. Proprietary information to companies will also
|
||
be blacked out.
|
||
FOIA's usually have a return time of 2- 12 weeks. If your FOIA is
|
||
not handled or processed in a timely manner (especially if its a
|
||
small FOIA request) then you must write the the FBI and even call
|
||
to complain (several times!).
|
||
|
||
DMV Records- DMV records are public information in 49 of the 50 states.
|
||
It i yours for the asking and their is usually a $10 - $15
|
||
processing fee.. Most states cannot provide instant record rerieval
|
||
and theirs usually a 1 day turn around time. DMV searches will let
|
||
you check if a person has a license, their address, and phone
|
||
number, as well as their criminal driving infractions. California
|
||
currently has a privacy law where a citizen can request that their
|
||
home address be witheld from the records. This having to due mostly
|
||
with the fact that California has alot of "Hollywood Actors/Stars".
|
||
Many times obsessed nutcase fans have tracked actresses down by
|
||
checking DMV records. In one case a fan actually stalked and killed
|
||
an actress. However in CA most people dont even know that they
|
||
can have their address kept private so it does little good.
|
||
|
||
Court Records- Your criminal as well as civil records are all public domain
|
||
information. If you have ever been sued for any purpose, if you have
|
||
ever filed for bankruptcy, if you have ever sued anyone else, or
|
||
if youeve ever been convicted of either a federal or state crime,
|
||
wether it be a misdemeanor or felony, or wether the record be
|
||
sealed or not... it can all be gooten for FREE.. You need only
|
||
go to the courthouse, and search the archives. Actually you should
|
||
check the rules in your area on who to contact.
|
||
|
||
Town Records- If you own any property, if you pay property taxes,
|
||
if you have a pool or a deck, or a barn on your propertym if
|
||
you've added an extension to your house, if you've converted your
|
||
garage into a new room, or basement, etc.. all of this information
|
||
is in the town records, and can be gotten by any snoop. Even the
|
||
layout or plans to your house can be gotten!! Friggin wonderfull
|
||
information for a burgular to have isnt it? A burgular/thief/scumbag
|
||
can get the blueprints to your house so he knows just how to
|
||
break in, where to go, etc..Same with your business.
|
||
|
||
IRS Tax Records- if your a public official (or even if your not!) your
|
||
tax records can be gotten along with the most personal information
|
||
that you can imagine! Technically, only public officials records
|
||
are supposed to be public, but its possible to get the IRS records
|
||
of ordinary people.
|
||
|
||
Newspaper Archives- Newpspapers keep archives and spare copies of all
|
||
of their papers since the paper began. usually this information
|
||
is kept in paper format in a vault, but nowadays, the archives
|
||
are usually electronic based, and can be publicly searched by a
|
||
computer. Newspapers used to keep newpaper articles on Microfiche
|
||
filme before computers became poular. You can get info on all kinds
|
||
of stuff (mostly people) from newspaper archives. You can search
|
||
birth and death records, wedding announcments, criminal articles.
|
||
Andy Warhol once said that "everyone is famous for at least
|
||
15 minutes in their lifetime"... maybe your target has been arrested
|
||
once, or has been in the paper for something (not necessarily bad).
|
||
|
||
Libraries- Libraries usually have microfiche with the newspaper archives
|
||
for the past 4-6 years.
|
||
|
||
Government- The government can provide you with unlimited sources of
|
||
information for investigation. FOIA is the main method, but their
|
||
are other more detailed methods, but I wont elaborate on this.
|
||
basically, all you need do, is to contact the appropriate agency
|
||
that your looking to obtain information from, and they will
|
||
usually help you out.
|
||
|
||
Investigate- The last method of free investigation is to simply do
|
||
things for yourself. Nothing can take the place of a competent
|
||
professional but, it is a waste of money to have a PI investigate
|
||
something that you can do yorself merely by doing an FOIA, or by
|
||
going to the library, or making a call.. Basically, all you need
|
||
to do is follow your leads to the source. Dont be afraid to call
|
||
people, to check their refernces, to check their past employment
|
||
history, to search the library microfiche newspaper files, etc..
|
||
Even by contacting the appropriate government or state entities
|
||
like the DMV (Department of Motor vehicles) you can save yourself
|
||
several hundred dollars in detectives record search fees.
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
WHAT ARE THE MAJOR DATABASE COMPANIES?
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Their are 3 general types of companies that provide information:
|
||
|
||
(1) SuperDatabases- A super database is humongous company that keeps
|
||
billions of records, but in 1 single specific
|
||
area. TRW is an example of the aforementioned.
|
||
They are the largest collector/supplier of Credit
|
||
Information in the entire world. Their are 5 main
|
||
companies that supply Credit information, another
|
||
is Equifax (I believe) and their almost as big as
|
||
TRW Corp.. NCI is also among the "Big-3 credit corps"
|
||
SuperDatabases DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
|
||
have to supply "only" credit information.. Anything
|
||
that could be considered information, can be
|
||
archived and extracted from these companies for
|
||
a fee. An example is DIALOG CORP. This company
|
||
is the absolute largest supplier of information,
|
||
on this entire planet. This company has quite
|
||
possibly several million TeraBytes of information
|
||
stored (which is 5 times more than all the information
|
||
stored in all the libraries in the world). You can
|
||
call DIALOG up, pay them the fee, and research
|
||
any single topic your heart desires, and within a
|
||
matter of minutes/hours, you will get an answer
|
||
back. Just as a small example, DIALOG has every single
|
||
newspaper article for the past 30 years, they have
|
||
every single Internet Newsgroup stored in memory,
|
||
they have lists of thousands of magazines, and
|
||
associations, they have every single politicians
|
||
name in the United States history, they have
|
||
politicians names for the leaders of any other
|
||
country (AND their relatives).. Basically, if you
|
||
can think of something, then DIALOG can get an
|
||
answer for you.
|
||
|
||
|
||
(2) SuperMarkets - A supermarket is very much as the name implies.
|
||
They are big places, where you can get a variety
|
||
of information. SuperMarket companies usually
|
||
have access to several SuperDatabases. This allows
|
||
you to do a very wide variety of searches without
|
||
having to pay the outrageous rates that the
|
||
SuperDatabase companies usually charge. Most PI's
|
||
are hooked up with SuperMarkets like Datafax.
|
||
|
||
SuperMarkets, keep in mind, are NOT actual databases.
|
||
Rather SuperMarkets are just "gateways" to the
|
||
SuperDatabase companies.
|
||
|
||
(3) 7-11's - 7-11's are basically similar to SuperMarkets.
|
||
You can look up a variety of BASIC information
|
||
such as credit records, criminal histories, etc..
|
||
for a very reasonable price. You dont have nearly
|
||
as good a selection as to the kinds of information
|
||
that you get with a SuperMarket, but the prices
|
||
make it reasonable for a private individual to have
|
||
an account with a 7-11 type system. In fact alot
|
||
of 7-11 type systems, will let you do a "single
|
||
one-time-search".. As opposed to the databases
|
||
which bind you to a year long contract costing $$$.
|
||
|
||
------ Super Databases ------
|
||
TRW- This company really needs no introduction. TRW is the largest
|
||
holder of credit information in the United States (or in the
|
||
world for that matter). Of course they also are the greatest
|
||
providers of false information, and soely responsible for
|
||
toally and falsely fucking up the credit of hundreds of
|
||
thoisands of innocent persons in america. And TRW is also the
|
||
least willing of all the credit agencies to fix erroneous reprts.
|
||
Equifax- Another of the major credit collection companies
|
||
|
||
[Author note: I really am not too familar with all of the 5 major credit]
|
||
[ agencies. If you know the names of some others besides TRW]
|
||
[ I'd appreciate if you could e-mail me with that info. ]
|
||
|
||
|
||
Dialog- Dialog was described above. Dialog doesnt really have dossier
|
||
information per se, its not all that usefull for private
|
||
investigators, but its indespensible for the professional
|
||
writer, or journalist who needs to research a subject. DIALOG
|
||
has the largest database in the entire world.
|
||
|
||
------- Super Markets -------
|
||
NCI- National Credit Information network used to be one of the big
|
||
Credit companies, but has expanded into an all purpose information
|
||
collection company. They access over 300 million credit records,
|
||
12 million business profiles, forewarding address postal records,
|
||
criss-cross telephone directories, social security tracing, and
|
||
surname tracing (track a person down with only their last name!)
|
||
Aliases you use, employment history, address, phone number, marital
|
||
status, you name it, NCI can get it. NCI also offers drivers license
|
||
records with driving infractions (this has a 1 day turn-around time
|
||
to access), plus 1 million record telephone criss-cross directory.
|
||
NCI has a 800 toll free access number to their computer system,
|
||
and they charge $700 per year to access their system, plus $10
|
||
monthly. and a very small fee for each search. This company
|
||
is a REAL BARGAIN! This company is pretty much the defacto standard
|
||
for private investigators.
|
||
NCI falls under the category of a SuperMarket company since
|
||
I do not think that NCI actually keeps any records themselves,
|
||
rather they just act as a gateway to the actual database companies.
|
||
NCI cannot be accessed directly, rather you must go through one
|
||
the many smaller companies that give NCI accounts.
|
||
Datafax is my favorite provider to the NCI system.
|
||
NCI costs approximately $600 - $850 for a 1 time set up fee,
|
||
that is good for life. Then you only pay 10 per month, and
|
||
10 dollars per search. But the actual price depends upon
|
||
the NCI provider (see Datafax or Jeff KirkPatrick, below).
|
||
|
||
U.S. Data Link- NCI has access to over 900Million credit reports (even
|
||
more than the NCI system). You pay a 1 time set up fee of $975,
|
||
and then you pay $4.50 to $55 for each search depending upon
|
||
how long it takes and how much human intervention is required.
|
||
USDL only charges you for "hits". You dont pay, if the system cant
|
||
find the information you wanted.
|
||
USDL is accessed by a dial-in number or via TELENET. The USDL
|
||
software allows you to set up a "search script" off-line, so
|
||
that you do not have to waste time typing once you get onto
|
||
the system. This saves on access costs and phone bill charges.
|
||
|
||
The USDL system has 4 seperate databases which are as follows:
|
||
* Credit Records- The credit record searches were described above.
|
||
* PC Profile- Provides links to employment data, criminal histories,
|
||
driving records, licenses, professional certifications, verification
|
||
of college degrees from over 5,000 colleges and trade schools.
|
||
$25 is the average search fee.
|
||
* PC Corporate- Deals with busines records including Uniform
|
||
Commercial Credit Reports on businesses and DBA records,
|
||
office reports, federal filings. This is a must for anyone who is
|
||
going to buy stock, or investt in a business.
|
||
* PC Auto-Provides total complete access to information pertaing
|
||
to drivers licenses, and driving records, tracking a person down
|
||
by his drivers license. As well as FAA pilots licenses, boating
|
||
/captains licenses, etc.. You can do a search on a car and driver
|
||
by merely inputting a VIN (Vehicle ID Number on the winshield)
|
||
of by a license plate. 47 out of the 50 states have DMV info public.
|
||
|
||
US Data Link
|
||
671 Bayway Drive
|
||
Baytown, TX 77520
|
||
1.800.527.7930
|
||
|
||
CDB Infotek- An all purpose provider of public records. Motor vehicle
|
||

|
||
court records, marriage records, divorce records and proceedings,
|
||
voter registration, death certificates, credit information,

Tracers WorldWide- This company is run by George Theodore. This company
|
||
is quite expsnsive, and has several gateways to the major
|
||
Super Databases. But where this company differs from CDM Infotek,
|
||
NCI and US Data Link, is that while those companies are
|
||
"self-serve"...This company will do custom searches for you
|
||
that are beyone your capability. The CEO of this company claims
|
||
that: "if its legal, then he can get that info for you!"
|
||
This company while it may not be quite as big as the other
|
||
companies like NCI and US Data Link, the staff has capabilities for
|
||
research that the avergae user doesnt have, so you can give them custom
|
||
information querries and they will get you an answer. Also this
|
||
company has a very unique database. They have a death records
|
||
database with well over 45 million names! Why would anyone want
|
||
death records you may ask? Well, it does have its uses.. trying to
|
||
track down lost relatives, or even for insurance purposes or for
|
||
"heir" chases, who want to chase down their families fortune, etc..
|
||
This company also has 2 new databases... An extensive DMV records
|
||
database, everyone who has a license, is on this list, and a
|
||
voter registration list. If your a registered voter, then you are
|
||
also traceable!

REGULATION & ETHICS!

|
||
Fuck It! This article is long enough. I'll be damned if I'm going to
|
||
write anymore.
|
||
|
||
Basically, read the article carefully and make judgements for yourself
|
||
about the ethics of all this dossier keeping. If you thought that the
|
||
Internet was big.. Welp heres news for you, these investigative
|
||
database companies probably have 500,000 times more information in their
|
||
files than on all the Internet computers in the WORLD!
|
||
|
||
This information brokering is BIG MONEY! hint..hint...If one ever had
|
||
a hankering to be a private investigator, you'd make a killing providing
|
||
information to poeple. Although the real money is made by the major
|
||
database companies.
|
||
Continue(Y/n/c)?
|
||
The Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1987 requires that the Credit Agencies
|
||
provide you with a credit report every time somebody accesses your records
|
||
and all the companies usually coply with that rule 100 percent of the
|
||
time.
|
||
|
||
Also the FCRA states that Credit Agencies can only disclose your
|
||
records for legitimate credit purposes... INVESTIGATING somebody just
|
||
for the general sake of being a snoop, is NOT a legitimate request for
|
||
a credit record. But unfortunately, that does not stop a PI
|
||
from getting your information because they often will simply lie
|
||
by claiming that the search is for a legitimate credit check.
|
||
|
||
Lastly, the major credit bureaus such as TRW are totally unscrupulous
|
||
as well as careless in their keeping of records. TRW quite often
|
||
has erroneous records (this is EXTREMELY common...) and it is IMPOSSIBLE
|
||
to fix your credit once TRW fucks it up.. If you dont believe me.. then
|
||
try calling TRW and telling them that your record is screwed up..
|
||
Watch how fast the nice TRW lady "brushes you off" and tells you that
|
||
their records are never wrong, or actually now, they will fee you a line
|
||
of bullshit about how to go about correcting your credit. This process
|
||
is totally impossible to accomplish as you must have total and complete
|
||
records to exhonerate yourself. (I hope you didnt throw out that cabcelled
|
||
check from 10 years ago, to prove that you payed yoru phone bill 10 years
|
||
ago... cause if you dont have exact documentation, receipts, cancelled
|
||
checks, etc.. then they will reject your submission).. In addition, the
|
||
worst part is... once your submit your proof so that they can fix
|
||
your credit record.. 90 percent of the time, the record never gets
|
||
fixed.. Who fucken knows what they do with the records you submitted,
|
||
but its proven fact that you will have to submit 5 times, and make 30
|
||
phone calls to TRW telling them to correct your records.)
|
||
|
||
ASSHOLES is the only word that I can think of when I think of TRW.
