How scary is this? It makes me kinda mad too, at everyone involved.?

I heard on the news that your identity can be used and there is somekind of shadow record for the person using your identity. Apparently it’s nearly impossible for a consumer to find out who and how their identity has been used. Only credit companies, I think, and the gov. have access to ALL the files associated with a certain social security number. I think that they said that it would be an invasion of privacy for you to see the other person’s records EVEN if it is on your social security number. CRAZY Huh?! it’s true too! (*_*)

Anyone know the details?
Oh yeah, apparently it CAN affect your credit score, and your employment opportunities. How unfair is that?!
Btw, I do think this question belongs under immigration just because of the number of illegal immigrants using stolen social security numbers.
Actually a social securtity number does NOT belong to you, it is issued to you, then to someone else when you die or become an expatriot. It IS considered an invasion of privacy to see the other person’s info.
giraffebasse…I guess your eyes aren’t working so well. Maybe you’re straining them too much? My question was about how you feel towards not being allowed full access to your s.s.n.’s history even when it defines your economic life. Well what do you think? (I think I broke it down into terms even someone who is having a hard time reading can understand)
nasonguy: WOW, I posted my answer as to why this is under immigration like 3 HOURS ago! and yet you didn’t read it. I think someone is just skimming the questions and not providing well thought out answers! *looking your way* (^_^)
