Go on down to the social security office in your area and tell them you don't have your social security card. Chances are your parent's lost it.\nThey can look up your number and issue a duplicate.\n\nIf you don't have a social security number at all, and with the government--it is easy for someone to fall through the cracks, explain your situation and they will issue you one.Don't forget to take your birth certificate and probably you will need to take a parent with you.\n\nYou need to take driver's education in school or you can go down to the Driver's License office and ask for a Driver's Handbook. Study it, and take the test when you are eligible\n\n* I agree....everyone needs to cool it, this is a kid you're ragging on ----assumptions are being made \nand you know what they say about making assumptons?????

Go to www.socialsecurity.gov.  It's #1 on the Yahoo search results page.  In the search box at the head of the Social Security Administration page, choose "social security number and card".  You will get a list of questions.  Go to page 2, question 22.  The details are there.  \nThe gist of it is that you will have to wait until there is actual use of your SSN by another before they will issue you a new one, but I would advise you to read it for yourself.

Everything that you buy on credit or when to open the account you need to provide your social security number to do a credit check (not only credit card but even the utility bills or cell phone)gets reported to the credit bureau. If you have a report against you that means they reported a late (over 30 days) payment. I know that you do not like to hear this but if you have a late payment over 30 days, that gets reported and affects your credit score. If you only have one payment over 30 days it's not that bad though. Your credit score number gets lowered and the lower the number the higher the interest rate when you apply for credit in the future and if you have missed payments with a pattern of late (30 days or worst, 60 days) payments you might not be able to obtain jobs in certain fields or rent an apartment not to mention obtaining credit... Advice is be as conservative as you can from now on. It is not relevant to pay more than the minimum required amount on a credit card or other loan, so do not think that this help in any way. What is important is to send the payments religiously before the due date ( mail it at least 5 days in advance) or pay by phone or Inet and if it happens that you passed the due date, as long as it is before they issue a new statement, and is under 30 days, pay it even though with penalties. Hope this explanation helps you.

Go to www.lendingtree.com\n\nThey will give you a list of those that are willing to loan you money.\n\nWhat they do is take your information, yes, Social Security # too, and they will submit it to known lenders, then lenders will reply if they are willing to loan.  Good luck.

You don't have to report your SS card stolen, but you should replace it. You can apply for a replacement by mail if you are too busy to go to the office, but you have to send your ID card in and wait for them to mail it back.  You'd think with identify fraud, SSA would issue you a new SS number, but they won't necessarily do that.  All you can do is monitor your credit history to make sure someone is not opening up new credit cards in your name.

For your credit report, your social security number is your account number.  To get your credit report, you'll also need to give the credit bureau your name and date of birth also.\n\nCredit cards are issued by banks, so just look in your phone book and call any bank near you whose card you wish to get.  In fact, it's probably better to go down to the banks and credit unions near you and get their credit card applications so you can compare the provisions of each bank's/credit union's credit cards.  They're not all the same.  Some are way better deals than others.

You must have a social security number to work in the United States, or permission of our government, you are punishable by our laws governing this issue.  You can receive a card allowing you the rights to be here only for specific endeavors or specific time restraints if you are not an American citizen.

Actually you wouldn't ask for social security benefits in the fathers name cause if he never worked he never paid anything into the account.\n\nSome people think the government has all this social security money just sitting there waiting to be asked for.  That money was put there by the American tax payer for his/her own retirement.  \n\nIt originally was intended for the American worker to have funds taken from his pay check each week to be put in the social security account, so that when he/she was to old to work, they could retire and receive a few hundred bucks a month (could be compared to a savings account, which our government appears to be giving away to others who haven't put a dime in).  It doesn't even include medical, needless to say it in itself isn't enough money to live on.  \n\nSo contrary to what the govenment says, retirees still have to work after retirement to make ends meet UNLESS they also have put money in a personal retirement account.  Trust me there isn't going to be 70 million Americans retiring from work in the next few years, it just isn't financially possible.\n\nI have a family member who thought she could retire at 63 years old after working as a nurse for 20 years.  Her health is bad so she quit her job after filing for Social Security benefits, she got the benefits but doesn't qualify for medicare until she reaches 66.  So she had to go back to work even though she's physically not able.  Yet they'll give it to those who've never worked in the US, such as new people in the country, children and babies?  \n\nSome Americans that have worked still don't qualify for it cause they didn't work long enough, they haven't earned enough points.  If I remember correctly you need something like 40 points.  Working about 10 years while paying social security taxes usually qualifies the person.  To many people in this country only pay sales & property tax, while collecting social security, medicaid and other benefits, thus the pot is about empty.\n\nIf you're illegally in the US you can get all the benefits, SSI,  HUD, medicaid, WIC.  If you're a white American, you may be out of luck, our government discriminates against white folks.  However your baby can get WIC, food stamps and Medicaid.  You can find all these in the phone book.

A social security number is an identification that marks you as part of social security...aka welfare.\nThis is NOT intended to be a national identification...even though it has become such.  So much is dependent on your SSN (social security number), that without it, you may as well not exist in the USA.\nThat is changing, though.  Companies are not allowed to ask for you SSN without approval by the US Government.  Credit Cards CANNOT require it for your use.\n\nI hope this helps.

If you have bad or poor credits and want to re-establish your credit, these are the special cards for you such as USA Gold Shopping Card, USA Gold Optimum, or Orchard Bank MasterCard. Since you credit history is bad or poor, you will be only given a small credit line. And you might have to pay a higher interest rate than that of regular credit cards. But if you are determined to get your credit back to good standing, apply for one of those credit cards and always make the minimum monthly payment, or even better - pay off the balance every month. Your credit lender will be willing to low the interest rate and increase your credit line gradually. \n\nIf you still can't get approved for these special credit cards for bad credit, try pre-paid credit cards - These Prepaid Card does not extend you credit. Instead, accounts are prepaid for a specific amount and accounts are only good for the balance you have loaded/applied. They work pretty much like a debit card but entitle you to some benefits of a credit card.

Yes you can. In a few weeks, the company that denied you credit will send you a written notice with the reason for your decline. It will list the specific credit bureau used in making that dedcison. You can then use the internet or call to get a free report.\n\nThe fact that you tried to get credit, does appear on your report. Your access does not alter your profile and it is not visible to potential lenders if you access your report.

Unfortunately, Bill me later works off a credit background. Unless you have a credit rating of over 500 then they will not consider you.

www.capitalone.com  Look for the credit card that they offer to people to insufficient credit history.\n\nSometimes discover offers cards a little easier.\n\nOr, you can contact your bank and ask them if they offer a secured credit card.  For this, you will have to deposit money in a CD with the bank, and they will issue a card to you with a limit of that amount.

For a prepaid card you dont need a SSN-- its like a gift card. For a 'secured' card that would be reported on your credit report, you need an SSN.

yes absolutely. a credit report doesn't have anything to do with a credit card, although once you get a credit card it will track your usage of the card. just go to freecreditreport.com. all you need is your social security number and other basic info.

Stopping the charge on your credit card isn't going to stop the creditor from coming after you. It just means they have to sue you for it.  \n\nThey will also be able to locate your credit report and place a report on it, even without a SSN.  They have other matching info, like phone number, address, and more.  \n\nThose gym/spa memberships are tightly worded, I wish people would read them more carefully before signing them.
