Are secondary credit numbers legal?
Yes Secondary credit numbers are LEGAL, based on the 1974 Privacy Act, as long as you don't abuse the number. You can use the existing laws to your advantage for a change. Due to certain rights guaranteed by the 1974 US Privacy Act Title V you have the right to keep your Social Security Number private and not be denied service due to your refusal. The credit bureaus are not government agencies, so you do not have to give them your Social Security Number. To answer the question, YES if used properly. Thousands of people have done it over the past 30yrs and continue to do so. You are still responsible for the debts on your social security number .We suggest not to use the SCN as a way to avoid any debt (defraud creditors) under your Social Security Number. You are responsible for all debts on your old report and debts incurred with your Secondary credit number. You must remember that while you are rebuilding your credit, you must use your new SCN wisely. If you have had troubled credit in the past, don't repeat your mistakes
