There was a big hubbub on the internet about the aluminum and parabens in some antiperspirants being linked to breast cancer, Alzheimer's, and kidney problems. I know some 'natural' folks out there that refuse to use even aluminum-free deoderants because of this.

It is, of course, a myth. There is no scientific evidence to support this claim, and an early study linking aluminum to Alzheimer's has never been replicated. Aluminum can be problematic for people with kidney issues, but the amount absorbed by the skin is next to nothing. A healthy individual is in no risk.

This is one of the places where I was denied access due to not being able to verify, and a mortgage was mentioned in each of the three credit report requests - I will submit a paper request and wait for the snail mail.

I have been trying to get copies of my credit reports from various agencies lately and their verification process has included questions about accounts I had in the past.

In every case, I have been denied for not being able to verify a mortgage account - but I've never had a mortgage. My credit is poor for various reasons so I feel like I am not a likely identity theft victim, but after attempting several times without any success in actually verifying, I am beginning to think perhaps there are accounts that are not mine being reported.

In the case that there is a mortgage or some other account that is erroneously or fraudulently attached to my name, how difficult a battle should I expect in getting it cleared up? I have heard horror stories about mortgages specifically in this context.
