No. Your SSN is for life.
Yes. There are hundreds of databases available to a debt collector where they could find your SSN.
A debt collector can not garnish social security benefits. Not unless your debt is to the Federal Government. That violates violates Section 207 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 407).
Credit card debt collectors typically cannot go after your Social Security check to collect the debt. Social Security benefits are protected from most types of debt collection, including credit card debt, under federal law. However, if you co-mingle Social Security funds with other money that is not protected, it may become harder to prove which funds are exempt.
No. SS, SSD or SSI benefits are not subject to garnishment for creditor debt.
Yes,Just they need an current address ,your name and if you have ITM from IRS ,they got you
No
nope. I would think a debt collector would base his actions on more than a first name. ie. lastname, middlename, social security number, address, place of employment, relatives, and so on. Tell them that you dispute the debt. They have 30 days to prove the validity of the debt. If they fail to do so, they must cease their efforts.
There are a number of ways the US could start to take care of its national debt. But the best would be to start addressing the Social Security and Medicare expenditures and try to make them sustainable.
yes
== == NO, you have to turn in any credit cards and include the credit card debts in the bankruptcy. You can't pick and choose what debts you are going to include.
If you held the account in name either solely or jointly and used the credit available you are still responsible for the debt, the error of the SSN is irrelevant.
