Question

Hoping someone can help answer my a question! On my Credit Karma app, all my account balances for my account are correct! Which is great. My question is specific to my car. I have a Subaru Forester. The balance is correct in my app. But when I click the Auto button in my app, it brings up my Mom’s car (Toyota 4Runner) with her balance. Her balance is higher than mine. I don’t understand how my Subaru balance is accurate on the main page, but yet my Mom’s car pulls up. I have no idea why her vehicle would pull up on mine. I know my name isn’t on any of that paperwork? Has this happened to anyone before? What can I do?  

Answer 1

Is her car registered at your home address?  

Answer 2

Are there any AKAs listed on your credit report that are her name?  

Answer 3

I would get a copy of your free annual credit report and see if it shows up on there as well.  

Answer 4

Does it have anything to do with car insurance quotes or policy’s ?  

Answer 5

I found a credit card in my name that my mom had opened up. You've got to get them to remove it. Also could be just a mixup if your names are similar.  

Answer 6

She may have used you as a cosigner. My mom put me as a cosigner on her car when I was young so I had no clue until I got older

Answer 7

What’s on equifax, experience and transunion? Those are the 3 that matter.  

Answer 8

It’s fine. You can go on the app and remove the car. My sister in laws car shows up on mine since we share the same address, but I can easily click remove car from profile.
