Rectifying Social Security Identity Theft?

Posted by Cliff on from the retaking-your-identity dept.

VxSote asks: "A 19 year old kid tried to buy a car only to find out his SSN had been stolen and used by a terrorist. Now, after talking to various government entities, he is no closer to having his (presumably) good name cleared. So this situation begs the question: how exactly does one go about fixing such a mess?"

    The new government does not want a solution. All citizens are criminals, except oil company and weapons manufacturer executives, and other friends of those at the top.

    ...At least as long as Bush and his group of neo-Facists are in power. Theyv'e gone out of their way to make sure they are NOT responsible to anyone -- from giving as few newsconferences as possible, to calling anyone who disagrees with them unpatriotic (like a certain Senator who called everyone who disagreed with him a Communist or unAmerican).

    It's like with the no-fly lists -- if you're on, there's no way to get off it. From what the current administration has said, it's for our own good, so some people might be inconvenienced.
