Credit doesn't show income. It is just a score with income not factored in.

Experian offers a service called "theworknumber" that will sell you income data to anyone for $60.

You cant opt out because fuck american laws, but you can demand they "freeze" it like credit, so any inquiry is just rejected.

That may solve who’s texting me if I’d like to sell a property. They keep asking me about properties i haven’t owned for years but I use to live at.

At least you get texted about properties you once owned. I get texted about some dude's properties across the country even though this hasn't been his number for a good decade now

Haha it’s just weird to get a txt asking if I want to sell x property I haven’t owned for twenty years.

It has to be a credit report thing as my gf gets txt about the properties and she has never been on the loans or titles. The properties are always in my name.
