Pretend your ss# is 123-45-6789. Say one of them is using your social security number and they earn $20,000. DelMonte reports to the government that social security number 123-45-6789 earned $20,000. When you neglect to report this $20,00 in income the IRS is going to come looking for you.

Then you show them that you are a lawyer in Florida (or whatever) and were not working picking lettuce in California.

I had a very similar situation happen to me to the tune of 50,000 dollars. It took about 20 minutes for me to clear it up and have the wage attachment removed.

It should not happen, but the reality at least in my situation was that it was very easy to rectify by telephone.
