Can i sue my bank for giving out my social security number?
I would file a complaint with the bank manager or corporate office. Next I would contact your local police station and file a report with them that a stranger now has your private information because the bank gave out your information without your permission. I would also call the NH state general attorney's office and ask them what you can do. Find out what government agency regulates activities of banks in your state and see if you can also file a complaint with them. Yes I bet you can sue them but I would file complaints with state agencies first. Cause if they prove your rights were violated then it is easier to win a lawsuit against the bank.
Is it OK to give your social security number to a bank?
99.9% “yes.” I do find it odd that they apparently wanted your whole SSN. In my experience, 800 line agents just want the last 4 digits.You were right to give them your Account ID since it’s internal to the bank.Bear in mind that if you ever dig in your heels and say, “Listen, I don’t feel comfortable giving you my SSN.” You’ll hear something like this:“Well, then we don’t feel comfortable doing business with you. So we won’t.”If a Bad Guy is intent upon stealing your identity, they’ll need a whole mosaic of documentation. That’s why, until about 15 years ago, the Social Security Administration saw fit to put the beneficiary’s SSN in a little window on the front of the envelope containing their check.Those days are gone.
Can plasma donation workers steal your social security number?
I'm a 21 year old college student. I recently went on a short trip(had to take off work) and spent a little more money than I expected. To earn an extra $80.00 in two days,and help suffering patients with immune system deficiencies, I decided to donate plasma. The first time went smoothly. The second time, I seen a shady character who is kind of weird/stalkerish working as one of the people who sticks you with the needle and works the machine. These people are just regular people with little to no medical training. The weird part is, this person said that they live in another state when I chatted with them(chatted with the person on a local sports team website). I am not sure if this person seen me, but if I was seen, I am worried that my social security number might be at risk. There are folders with each donor's information. When donating, you are asked the last four digits of your SSN at the machine. I am wondering if anyone knows how easy it would be for an employee to access your information, and if the folder even contains my entire SSN(like I said, they just ask for your last four digits when you sit at the machine). Thanks for your time, i'll be happy to clarify on anything you need, in order to get the best answer.
If someone has my social security number can they access my bank account?
It depends.I can imagine situations where they could but they would need more information and possibly access to your email and/or cell phone.They could get a lot of the needed information from a check - routing #, account #, current address.Getting blank checks by creating a word file that looks like a check is pretty easy, once printed it could be deposited via a cell phone app.If you have online banking with a strong password, have turned notifications on (use a low threshold), use two factor authorization, and keep your fingernails clean you’re probably OK.Don’t forget to freeze your credit reports with all three agencies. Hold on to the letters they send - the 6+ character code is needed to temporarily lift a freeze.Speaking of bank stories:I heard this story from a co-worker around 1980, not sure how much truth there is in it, but based on my professional experience it was possible.In the 70s when a colleague in a different office was said to easily make false bank to bank transfers internationally to the total of several million dollars. When confronted by mgt. the story goes he said you don’t have proof, if you had proof I’d be arrested. He went on to tell mgt. that he wanted a written apology, and a strong written recommendation letter, or he would sue for defamation.He received the letters, and moved on to bigger and better jobs.In my professional experience some UK and US banks were very slow processing transfers - some were still using Telex or TWX, security was minimal, and the back offices were overwhelmed - multi day delays were not uncommon when resolving transfers. The nominal thief had access to many transfer notifications and, because of his job, could make minor changes (ie account number, names) to outgoing messages.I never learned how he (supposedly) removed the funds from the overseas banks.This might be a fairy tale, or it might be akin to a bank’s programmer who made a fortune by moving roundoff errors, a fraction of a penny at a time, into an account he owned.Please do not try this at home or work.
Do I have to give the landlord my social security number?
Many rental applications need it to run a credit report on you.However, most companies will use a format where the landlord doesn’t see the social security number and it protects your info from anyone seeing it.You are always welcome to refuse to give any info to a landlord they ask for. You do have to realize that they don’t collect that info just to get their jollies off demanding information.They use this information to prove that you are a trustworthy tenant, one that will pay the rent when it is due, offer respect to their property and offer honor to them as an owner/landlord.If you can’t show them this in the beginning when being considered for the property, how will you be when they approach you later as a tenant?
Can I sue my job for switching my social security number with someone else?
I recently got hired at a new job and their was another person by the same first name as me. We were both in training when our manager gave us our ids and socials back. Again we both were in training and I didn’t double check because I assume I was getting my ids back. Long story short I got a call a day later that they switched our ids on accident I went and look and sure enough I had her social and she has mine. This isn’t a regular day to day job where I’ll see her all the time we don’t start until February. I’ve been trying to switch my social back directly with the other girl and she’s always busy and right now I’m getting frustrated. It’s been a week now and it’s scaring me how she isn’t taking this serious either. If she was to use my social can I sue the employer? Because I think it was there fault! Now I have to deal with this . What do you think?
Do I have to give my employer my social security card?
There is no requirement that you give your employer a copy of your Social Security card, or even show it to them. Employers are required to perform basic due diligence in ensuring that employees are legally entitled to work in the US. That's done via USCIS Form I-9. A passport is sufficient stand-alone evidence of your right to work in the US. There is a due diligence requirement in verifying SSNs, however that is met by your signature on your Form W-4. If you put the wrong SSN on the form, your employer is absolved of any responsibility for misreporting your SSN on your W-2 or any other tax documents. So, are you LEGALLY obligated to provide a copy of your SS card? No, as long as your I-9 reflects a single-source document such as a passport. He's lying when he said that the law requires you to provide a color copy of your SS card.
