Recently I had to start up the gas and utilities service under my name and they asked for my SSN #.

Is it legal for them to ask for such sensitive information?

How do you know if someone stole your SSN and used it?

Is www.annualcreditreport.com a secure site? I know it’s for free annual credit report but I think they also ask for SSN… Is there any way to can get a free credit report without giving up your SSN?

My girl friend’s ex husband has obtained “her” free annual credit reports, and has set up an account, using her personal information to access her reports. She can’t get her free copies because the credit companies has said she has already recieved them. What is she suppose to do to deny him access to her credit records and obtaining her free reports in the future

I have tried to obtain my free annual credit report, but evertime I do it tells me it cannot be processed at this time; when I try to get something in my name I cant because they tell me its fraud… What can I do to fight that? I am in NC. thanks

I printed up my free annual credit report from Experian and found 3 negative items for cable, phone, and satellite dish service. The person installed these services at their home and I reported it to our local police department. I get a call from the detective on the case who tells me that even though he has an address where the unauthorized services were installed, he can’t go to the house and charge them with anything cause he’d need someone to admit wrongdoing, which obviously won’t happen. My question is, WHAT THE HECK??? I mean, if you have an address and this person has installed services in my name, I don’t care if he/she doesn’t fess up to it! Let them know you’ve caught on and that they’re being investigated! Or not? How does this work? Why do I feel so violated, like I’m the one who did something wrong? And why does the ‘thief’ have more protection than I do?
