Correct. So, if a lender relies on a SSN to approve a loan, the lender is being stupid and irresponsible, not the person whose SSN was compromised. I would be happy to get a new SSN, but it is not possible. Why would a competent financial company ever rely on a SSN for identification or for any legal or financial transaction?
