Exclamation I'm in their system but they're saying I'n

No, that's the weird thing, I've tried a couple times, correct last name, correct SSN last 6 digits, and I'm getting #3 . I've applied for 100s of credit cards over the decades, only 1 car loan in the past (no longer open), and never a mortgage in my life.

I'm wondering if it was not their main database that was breached, but some sub-database, perhaps one with mortgages, perhaps one with current car loans, perhaps one for certain parts of the country, perhaps one which had just gotten an update for a credit in the past week (and all mine updated at other times in the month), perhaps one which had only one a clear address (mine has multiple messed up versions of my address), whatever? Because for some reason I'm definitely in their system yet they're saying I'm not affected.
