dd just applied for a position and when they ran her background check, she was told the SS# she was using, was being used by another individual. We were going to try and run a credit report, but are looking for a reputable company. Any ideas?

You should be able to get a credit report free (once a year only) via the FTC site at http://www.ftc.gov/ -- I always go through that because the site they link to (the real free one) is very very similar to a lot of not-really-free sites.

The FTC site has a link marked "Identity Theft" which has links to the free credit report site, but also a lot of very useful information for someone in your position. Hope it's not as bad as it sounds!!
