Many years ago, the Georgia Department of Revenue made a keystroke error and suddenly I was a farmer in south GA. I was receiving bills for taxes that I obviously didn't own and I sent them proof that I'd paid mine.
When checking my credit reports, I found out there was a lien against me for the money. I tried dealing with the courts where the lien was placed, nothing. I got 2 of the 3 credit bureaus to remove it - after all, it WASN'T my SS#! I can't even remember which moron bureau wouldn't remove it.
I finally told the courts that I'd pay it - just to get it off my records. They put me in touch with the GA Dept of Rev. They said I couldn't pay because that wasn't my SS#. Duh - ya think??!
Tried to buy my house, and the mortgage company said there was a lien. Yes, I know - I sent them all the info and said if THEY could figure out how I could pay it, I would. They couldn't but still required me to write a check to the closing attorney at closing and HE was going to get it paid. 6 months later, got a check from him - HE couldn't get it paid off either,
I've been trying for almost FIVE YEARS to get a GA. tax ID for my company. They won't give it to me. Why? Because the SS# on the application isn't mine.
I faxed them a copy of my SS card. They said it wasn't big enough. Faxed them a VERY large copy, hehehe. That was 2 years ago. My application for a tax ID is still "pending".
I feel sorry for anyone to steals my identity - they're in for more problems then they'll know what to do with, lol!
