I am posting for my parents who are having this very strange problem. For about a year they have been getting letters and phone calls from 'companies' such as BofA, Capital One, etc. saying they are attempting to open credit accounts under my fathers social security number but the address is incorrect. They request him to call and verify his information with them. When he calls, they pressure him into giving out his social security number to verify his identity. He tells them he has not applied for any credit with them and attempts to stop the process, to no avail. Some will argue with him.
