403712
If you're lying about it, yes. You'll get in MAJOR trouble, as that, itself, is Social Security Fraud.\n\nBut, if you're going to report somebody for real, then most likely, you won't get in trouble. They may ask you some questions, but for the most part, the only one in any real trouble will the the one doing the fraud.

Make sure that your social security records are correct.  Any mismatch between the name you use to file your tax return and the name used in social security files will cause problems.

Just to let you know, every reported transaction is going to take you about an hour on the phone. This is going to be a pain in the butt. You need to dispute the accounts, (which you've done) now the angencys are going to need to prove that is infact you. They will do this by matching your DOB and ss# as well as your last 3 previous addresses. If they don't match yours the bill isn't yours, and it will be taken off. It takes some time ( a couple of months) so be paitent. If it isn't resolved in that time, you need to call each agency. Sorry but itentity mixups and theft are hard new.

To be honest, there is no way Social Security would EVER give out such information--even if they had it.\n\nYou might try a web search on their name to see if any hits pop up.  They may have a web site or be on one.

I would first document your grievances in writing by certified mail. In many states it is illegal to publicize a social security number of someone else. Everywhere it is improper.\n\nFor the rest, the operative word in legal circles is "civility". You have, so long as you are yourself civil, a right to demand that from any lawyer and any law office.\n\nHow far you want to take it should depend on whether your financial interests rather than just your pride are compromised.\n\nAlways see your prospective lawyer in context before hiring him or her. I tell people to visit the courthouse and see them in action, talk to their clients.

Is all this information about you? If it is that's not to smart listing your ssn on a questions website where someone could steal your info. I would rethink having this question on here.

First contact the Federal Trade Commission to report the identity theft.  They will advise you what to do, but basically you will need to contact all three credit bureaus and have them place identity theft alerts on your files.  Contact your local police department and report the incidence of identity theft--they will make a report.  You should get a copy of the police report or at least a case number.  Request free copies of your credit file and report any discrepancies in writing to each credit bureau.  Keep a watch on your credit report, social security files, and bank records.  You should check your credit files at least yearly, and report any suspicious activity immediately to the appropriate agency.

My opinion....File the forms.  If/When they find your friend, she can negotiate a payment plan with them.  If she doesn't then they certainly will file charges.  But these are creditors!  All they want is their money, so I don't think they will object.\n\nThat assume they even bother to investigate it.  ID Theft is a huge crime and they are so swamped that they can't possibly investigate every single complaint.

You, personally can't find this out. It is confidential. If the person is suspected of fraud, you should report it to the agency, and let them handle it from there.

You can get online and check to see if the SSA has your correct address: http://www.ssa.gov/\n\nIf your address is correct, someone is taking your check from the mail, unless you have direct deposit, which is a way better means to get your money. It comes earlier, too.

If an illegal uses a number that belongs to someone else to get a job, the Social Security Administration gets notified of the taxes collected under a name that doesn't match those in its records. It is fairly obvious that there is a person who is showing up at work at the address of the employer who is an illegal immigrant working in violation of the law. But since the people in our government are collaborators in illegal immigration they have deliberately chosen not to act on this information. \n\nGetting a false Social Security Card as part of false id's is easy and cheap all through the United States. But you don't even need a card. You just make a number up. The government cares so little about enforcing the law that I've heard there are something like a million people working under numbers that are all zeros. If you do get caught selling false identification including Social Security Numbers, you can be prosecuted.

Call the Social Security Administration and report it as "lost or stolen".\n\nYou can call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 to verify the\naccuracy of the earnings reported on your SSN, and to\nrequest a copy of your Social Security Statement or to\nget a replacement SSN card if yours is lost or stolen.\n\nPlus, make sure the SSA has your current address so\nyou can recieve the regularly mailed statements of\nbenefits accrued under your name (see sources for add'l. contact information).

The same SSN should not be used for two people.  So, either one of them is a criminal, or the government messed up.  You know the people, is it on purpose or accident?  If accident, tell them to report it to your local SS Office, if illegal, you should give a call to your local police station.
