they probably have information pertaining to six other people that share your name.

Plus, about 1/3 of the entries are wrong because the obtained them from the info-brokers that put profit over quality, thus the data was not scrubbed.

Then you went and confused them when you lost your grocery card and some student has been using it to buy Raman noodles at the discount.

They are confused about your ailments since the prescription records didn't specify veterinary or yourself.

Worse yet, they are confused about your gender because you diligently filled out all those warranty cards with conflicting information for all those years.

Of course, they could always outsource the entire database to India to have the crack developers straighten it all out.....

In lieu of an automated way of untangling the mess they might hire a few people to take a look but there is a lot of attrition in those jobs because they are bored to death.
