Do You Need An Alternative Identity Number?

You have probably heard the buzz at some point:  “there are ways to
create an alternative tax identification number”.  So I felt it was
important to discuss this subject so you know the facts, and not believe
the “hype” on the internet.

At one time, hundreds of websites were advertising that they could get
you a new substitute EIN number with a new address, for the sole purpose
of setting you up with a new identity.  In this way, your “bad credit”
history would be bypassed, and you could start over.  Many people paid
hundreds of dollars to these firms in hopes of getting that new
financial life.

Then the Federal Trade Commission got involved, and put a stop to that
practice for one reason…it is illegal. 50 of those firms were charged
with crimes, and in this way, the word got out that to sell this type of
service would get you in serious trouble.  Here are some of the ways
that these firms set people up for a new identity:

PIN (personal identification number):  a pin was a “made up” number.
Using nine digits with the hypens in the right place, people starting
using this new number as a social security number.  It was thought that
by having at least one merchant accept this new number, it could be
considered legitimate.

CPN (credit privacy number):  a CPN is a nine digit number, also “made up”, that looks like a social security number.

While both of these practices are actually legal in the formation of them, using
them with any kind of lender is considered fraud.  Defauding a lender
is a serious crime, punishable with fines and jail time.  In fact, in
the case of using an alternative to a valid social security number for a
mortgage, the fine can be $100,000 and  up to 30 years in jail for
federal cases, and more for state cases.
