Reply to comment by agarde03 in Mortgage Company sent SSN/address to wrong email by agarde03

And he didn’t have to put his social in to open it up?

Nope. He even forwarded me the email and I was able to see everything. I didn't have to do anything to see the documents. Whereas with previous documents I did have to confirm his identity to see those.

How did the lender get the email? Did you fill out an app online or did he just mistype?

Here is what I shared with another comment!

So my fiance started the application, and he shared my email for me to complete the application. That email I did receive and I filled out the application. But after that the lender would directly send us emails and from then my email had been incorrect. So I'm not sure if she just copied my email wrong since I did get one correct email but it was automated.

Sorry, I saw that right after I replied last. It’s a major no no to for a lender to send a social security number in the open web. Chat with the lender about it and if you want, you can file a report with the DRE for your state if you feel compromised.

Chances are nothing will come of it, but I’m not going to advise you to ignore anything because a leaked social, birthdate and address is a pretty big deal.

Sorry, I don’t have anything comforting to say.

No worries! Ok, thanks for the advice. Don't worry about it, but I do appreciate it!

Also, the person who sent the documents today with the sensitive information was someone who is assisting our lender too... so I'm not sure if that affects anything.
