Stolen social security number

Fuck someone has my SS number...I have NO idea, someone just called my house trying to verify a name, address and social security number (which was all correct) and if i knew someone named Alvarez or something, when I said I wouldn't confirm it over the phone they hung up. Now i'm calling the bank, and the SS agency and my credit card company etc etc and they put me on hold forever! Fuck. My phone keeps dropping calls too so I have to go through the hold process all over again. This is a huge pain in the ass.

Oh shit, that sucks. Luckily things that require SS #'s usually require other things too, so maybe you're good for now

kind of, it sounds like a billing company or something, trying to confirm whos number it actually was, so they said my name address and number and asked if i knew anyone named Alvarez (who it sounds like was using it). I didn't confirm anything on the phone and they hung up. So now I'm getting a credit report to see if there are any other cards out with my SS # cause I only have one.

You should place a fraud alert on your credit reports immediately.  Here is the contact info for the three major credit bureaus:

  • Equifax: 1-800-525-6285; www.equifax.com; P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374- 0241
  • Experian: 1-888-EXPERIAN (397-3742); www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013
  • TransUnion: 1-800-680-7289; www.transunion.com; Fraud Victim Assistance Division, P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92834-6790

    • You should also get copies of your credit reports to see what whoever has your social has been applying for in your name.  You can do so for free at www.annualcreditreport.com

    Also file a report with the police in the city where the identity theft took place.

    If you help cleaning up your credit, call Lexington Law Firm at 1-800-641-2930 and ask to speak with Kristie.

    Thanks for the info, so far I have a pending Transunion credit report coming in and I'm also working on contacting some other people. I have to fax them a pic of my license and recent bank statement to get it to go through, I should have it tomorrow.

    my dads SS got stolen and the dude that did it got a warrent out for my dads arrest. so my pops gets pulled over and a warrent pops up. bingo he get arrested and is in jail for a few hours while all the shit get sorted out. And the warrent still comes up everyonce in a while if he gets pulled over.
