I know I've been MIA for awhile, but hope everyone is doing well. I thought I might come to you guys with a question.
So, when I was 18 I was informed from a credit union when they were looking up my ss# that another woman's name is using my number. At that time I filed a police report and informed the credit bureaus, but nothing came out of it. ( btw this lady has been using my social security number since I was 7 years old)
Recently my mom met an attorney and asked him about my issue, and he had someone look deeper into it. Turns out I have over 25 people using it and they are all in the state of CA. He told me there must be a social security " mill" selling my number topeople and it would be difficult to get them to stop, SO he suggested I change my number all together.
I have recently gotten a car loan which was difficult in itself because of this fraud issue ( however my credit score is still good) and would like to solve this before my wedding next year, and before I purchase a home, etc.
I dont know how to go about doing this, surprisingly I found very little information on the internet about changing your number. Hoping someone here might have some helpful information for me :)
