I don't know if it is still true, but you used to could request free of charge a 'dump' of all the data Lexis/Nexis has on you.
I got into this when I was run off the road by a hit and run driver which totaled my truck.
Lexis/Nexis had the accident 'listed' as my fault which was affecting my insurance rates - which was when I started investigating it.
I requested the dump, found the bad data, and hassled them until they finally fixed it.
My question to them was 'How could the accident be my fault when it was a hit and run - I got hit and they ran?'
My guess is that some clerk somewhere had entered the paper accident report wrong.
The printed 'dump' was about an inch or so thick and pretty interesting to thumb through.

@Uncle Phil this story reminds me of an old movie (1980s?) called Brazil, a dark futuristic vignette of a dystopian future.
While not exactly my genre of choice, it has stuck with me, and I was so wow'ed at the end, I felt as I had been watching literature.
The movie is not easy to find, but the gist is how a man's life is destroyed by a bureaucratic faux-pas much as you described, only more fire.

It’s the “other reasons” that scare the hell out of me.

Think of Chinese EV's... at the push of a button...

And I thought it was for your supply trip to Fairview Heights once a month.

Which is why I keep my old 24 year old motorcycle and 19 year old car and my antiquated flip cellphone

I've seen one of those flip phones. My grandma had one back in the last century.....

I had a phone in the last millennium that didn’t flip, and you had to pull an antenna out of it in order to use it!

I saw red one's phone at Nashcats big feed last summer. It looked just like this one!

Just the link that you suggest we join for "free" disturbs me. Did you see the freedom they have once you give your email up?

Dont you know ya need to use "Burner" email addy through a VPN to do stuff like this?

I still use one on bike trips. It tucks away securely in a pocket and isn't a distraction.

My aluminum foil hat protects me from tracking by insurance companies and otherwise. But, if they REALLY want to know, ill be at the whole foods store at 9:00.

LoL yep that's it. I once miss placed my phone left it in a restaurant. People that found it laughed and gave it to the manager and i went and got it. He said nobody wanted it and it wasn't worth stealing.

The bad thing about these insurance readers that plug into your OBD port is they have been frying people ECM's so beware. Look it up
