Was going through my junk mail pile last night. Came across a Victoria's Secret catalog. I happened to glance down at the mailing label and see it addressed to a "Brittany N Powers". Huh!? Double check to make sure it's the correct address. Yep, our house. Ah, one might think that it could have been whoever owned the house before. Except that Mike bought this house back in 1970. Highly unlikely. I got a little paranoid. What with identity theft going on out there. My sister in law is a victim. I went to Victoria's Secret website and sent them an e-mail. I asked them how this name got affiliated with my address. I also asked them to take my address off of their list. I thought that maybe I overreacted. But, I don't want them to sell their mailing list to other people with that name tied to our address. I'm still waiting for them to get back to me. And, just to be safe, I went to annualcreditreport.com and pulled my Experian report. It checked out clean. I am going to wait a couple of months and pull my next free report from one of the other bureaus.
