ca and ssn

You can sue them for fraud. Also you can file complaints with FTC,BBB.

And the FCC. Link is in my signature. And your state Attorney General.

I'd just ignore them. Not your SS number = not you.
I'm assuming they got the name right, there are over 40 people with my first and last names in my state. The main identifier when it comes to a CA is a SS# not a name.

I don't see the point of getting into a legal battle with someone obviously not looking for you.

Or is there more to it? Like do you owe this CA? Have you ever heard of them or done business with them?

How exactly are they harassing you?

A quick visit to:

will tell you just how common your name is (there are 418 of me). If you are 100% certain this is a case of mistaken identity, send them a full cease comm letter. Also, if you have not already done so, pull your free credit reports @ www.annualcreditreport.com and make sure that they have not reported to the CRA's.

618 of me....wow! Both of my children though, only 1. They have their fathers miserably long last name.

They don't need a social to report to the bureaus. They only have to be able to provide a name and address, phone number. It would be up to the consumer to dispute and show proof of ID (DL and SS with all but the last 4 blacked out). Crappy system I know.

Wow. Only 82 of me. And the irony is that one of them lives in my city, and I was getting collection calls for him until he filed bk. He even sent a resume to my employer a few months ago. And in Masachusetts I was getting bank statements for two of the others.
