Can you use a dead persons social security number too get credit?
As long as you pay all balances and don't try to avoid repayment, there is nothing 'fraudulent' about this. The previous poster was either naive or lying to you. 'Fraud' refers exclusively to getting goods and services and planning not to pay for them. It does NOT refer to using a dead person's name.
That said, the credit bureau will likely catch it, and not issue you any credit.

Answer .
\nI tried that already and because she is a minor there is no way to get her credit report. So I was told by a rep at Equifax..
Answer .
That makes no sense. If you can't get a credit report on her, than you'd think that there'd be no way to get a credit card using her social. \n.
\nYour wife must be either using a different birth date (which you would think the credit card companies would catch) or some other "loophole." \n.
\nDid you try contacting the Social Security Administration? Maybe "stretch the truth" a little and tell them that you have reason to believe that someone has stolen your daughter's social security number to obtain credit (maybe say she got a credit card in the mail) and ask them what to do. However, if you go this route and it turns out to be your wife, I'm assuming that there will be legal consequences for her!.
Answer .
\nIt is highly unlikely that an adult would be successful in using a minor's SSN to obtain credit. Creditors require more than a SSN before they issue a card or grant other financial transactions. The SSA will not give out information concerning a minor's SSN unless the person requesting gives proof of being the custodial parent, legal guardian, guardian ad litem or a court order is issued. The SSA does have a process available for the reporting of fraudulent use of a SSN if the person wishing to file the report can show "just cause."

Could you use a dead person's social security number to get credit cards?
I hope you wouldn't want to. The idea is that this fraud should be prevented by financial institutions' referring to the Social Security Death Index or Death Master File. This… information is freely available at many sites online and most financial institutions reportedly access this information on a continual basis. Most deaths are logged into the SSDI and therefore most families should be protected from this kind of fraud. However, to ensure you and your loved ones are best protected, either you, the funeral director, the executor of the will or probate administrator should contact the Social Security Administration ASAP with proof of death. Once this information is reported to the SSA the social security number is flagged as belonging to a deceased individual and can no longer be used for most fraudulent purposes.

The llegal use of a dead persons Social Security Number?
The police can arrest you and put you in jail for doing that. And if you collect benefits from that person's SS number you will be prosecuted, fined and have to repay what you… collected. If you are an illegal alien it gets worse so don't do it. If you know someone using another deceased person's card and number then report them to the police ASAP. They said LEGAL use, not illegal use. And yes, there are several legal uses, mostly revolving around wrapping up an estate, such as credit reports and background checks for the dead person to track down all remaining debts and business interests. Private detectives have access to these queries. Also? Social Security benefits BY DEFINITION pay out their final payments to the next of kin under that social. So yeah, that's legal, unless you're trying to accuse the entire us government of fraud.

What can you do about your soon to be ex husband using your Social security number to get credit cards?
First, you should file a police report with the local police. Then contact the legal department or the fraud division of the credit card companies where your husband used your… social security number. You should also contact the major credit bureaus and ask how to place an alert to prohibit anyone other than you from obtaining credit by using your social security number. Second, you should speak with your divorce lawyer about this. What your husband has done is a criminal offense and should be brought to the attention of the courts and the criminal authorities. He should be ordered to pay the debts as part of the divorce settlement and close any accounts that were opened using your social security number.

How do you get a dead persons social security number?
If you want it to commit identity theft or fraud, then please go ask the FBI. You'll know whether you're asking for the right reasons based on whether they arrest you or not. … If the deceased person wanted you to know their social security number they probably would have made you executor of their will or told you while they were still alive. If they die intestate maybe you could contact the administrator of their estate (who will hopefully ask the FBI to meet you at your house to make it more convenient for you).
