You see and hear the advertisements everywhere.
- "We
can erase your bad credit100% guaranteed."
- "Create
a new credit identitylegally."
- "Credit
problems? No problem!"
Know
this . . . no one can erase bad credit! You will pay the credit
doctors several hundred dollarsand their credit repair scam substitutes
your Social Security number with a 9 digit federally issued Employer
Identification Number (EIN), or a Taxpayer ID# that you are to obtain.
If
you do this, you are illegally creating a new persona. You
could be charged and prosecuted for mail or wire fraud if you use
the mail or telephone to apply for credit and provide false information.
Its
a federal crime to make false statements on a loan or credit
application, to misrepresent your Social Security Number, and to
obtain an Employer Identification Number from the Internal Revenue
Service under false pretenses.
