THIN FILES are ironically the new norm now that Credit Underwriting  and ID verification tends to be more strict.he's only 25 and assuming you have his SSN, DOB, and are running an address he's been at least a year, at least credit INQUIRIES themselves should have generated a file so if theres a thin file its one thing, but if he's really actually previously UNKNOWN then he is now instantly KNOWN to at least one of the big 3 at the moment u pulled the credit report. assuming those 3 pieces of ID (SSN, DOB, ADD) are all accurate, cuz if any of those 3 are 'novel', it will throw off the data and likely also give u a thin file flag.
