"Happened to me in early 2001....Right when I bought a Ford."

If we didn't have divulge all our personal information to do business then most of this could be prevented. For instance...I REFUSE to give any telephone company (cell phone company) my social number, driver's license number, etc. So in the end I can't get these convienences but at the same time can we trust these companies with this peronsal info. I think not.

Sorry this happened to you, but too many American's willing give up this info and look where it's gettting us!

I have a Ford Credit account (and a Washington Mutual bank account too, which is listed as one of the things the thieves were looking for) and you HAVE to give them your SSN in order to get a loan from them. Yes, I should of just cancelled my account with them when that came up.
I'm going to see if I can have my SSN removed as my account number. Having that as an identifier is just asking for trouble.
