Everything else okay, but extra addresses on credit report?
The applicant listed one rental address on their rental history and said they were living in Brazil before then. But when I pulled the credit report there are other Florida addresses listed from years ago. I checked their reference for their current address (an apartment complex in this area) and the reference came back fine (paying on time, etc.). But on the criminal there is a speeding ticket from ten years ago that lists a South Florida address that is not on the application.
Should I approve if the employment verification comes back okay, or reject, or try to get more info. from the applicant on the addresses? Credit was so so--not horrible, but on $800 item currently listed as in collection, and one charge off from 10 years ago for $5000 from Chase Bank. No credit score listed. Thanks.

Google them weird addresses - they might be PO Boxes or something (mailing addresses).
I wonder why credit score would not be listed?
Regarding wife's SSN - tell them that SSN is no hit and watch for reaction. They might been off by 1 number (accidentally) or off by 9 numbers (intentionally). But then again, if you're not interested in them two, don't bother. I'd send a rejection letter in this case with the following reason: unable to verify SSN.
