[QUOTE="donna723, post: 103455, member: 1883"] I hope they catch up with the ones doing this. Don't be surprised if your sons' SSN turns out to be just one of many that they're using! It could be a lot more than just a few utility bills. There may be a whole [i]group[/i] of people whose ID is being used by these folks. They even sell SSN's to other people - supposedly there's whole websites devoted to this! I went through this a few years ago with my son, and only partially got it straightened out. Turned out to be <u>[i]HIS DAD[/i]</u> who had been using his SSN! Nice, huh! What a guy! They have the same first initial so I guess that's how he did it. My sons' credit report had some of his info, some of his fathers, even unpaid hospital bills for hospitals in towns he's never been in and a title loan on his dads' old junker car that was never paid off! In fact, in one credit bureau, if you put in my sons' SSN, HIS FATHERS' name comes up! Social Security says there's no way it could happen by accident - he had to have [i]given[/i] his own sons' SSN!
