Trish, I'm sooo sorry.
When I am standing next to someone at the checkout counter and they have their SSN card in their wallet, I want to remind them that that's a stupid thing to do (okay, I'd be nicer
.
In my job, we get calls several times a week about stolen identity whether it's the whole name/dob/ssn or name or ssn.
We can't take the inaccurate info off the bad guy's record unless we get a letter from the arresting agency giving us permission to take it off.
