Can I create a new credit file with a new social security number?
Federal law has made it illegal to use an alternative social security number when applying for credit. By using another social security number and new identification you cause the credit bureaus to generate another report for a person that does not really exist, and then use that new report to obtain credit. One of the problems with this technique is that it requires that you lie on applications for credit, which in most states is a criminal offense.
