My DH did indeed get it sorted out, but it was a PIA.<BR/><BR/>Ello: What scares me the most is that for some people, this is how they make their livings. They just buy and sell identities. Disgusting and despicable.<BR/><BR/>Jason: We were fortunate in that our police did seem to give a damn. (Of course, they could just be really good actors!) Sorry to hear that about Aine. I'm glad they didn't succeed! There can be only one!<BR/><BR/>Szelsofa: Parasites, indeed. I love the way you put that! I need to get better bug spray, I guess!<BR/><BR/>TIV: Oh, yes.

I just put a fake number I have memorized.<BR/><BR/>We use one credit card to pay for 95% of the things we need.

I am sure this is old news for all your readers, but getting an EIN from the IRS makes it easy to protect your SSNo. and still fill out those W-9 forms.
