I'm talking income taxes, not medicare and FICA. Also, fine, let them use your number, you're liable for the extra income taxes, all you gotta do is make one little call to the IRS and it's all cleared up right? They don't keep sending you bills, adding fines and such? So EASY to take care of. On top of that, they use your good credit and SS # to get a credit card, I'm sure one little call will take care of that little problem as well. Surely wouldn't ruin your credit when they use that credit card, run it up, don't pay. All you gotta do is call the credit agencies and say "it wasn't me" and it will all be taken care of.
I find it ironic your home page shows "Darwin Central" as a link, quite amusing I think.
This happened to us. My husband was retired on disability, and we got a letter stating they were pulling his payments because he made substantial income the previous year.
When I got to SS, turns out someone was using his number and declaring income working for a carpet business. I told the worker that there was no way my husband could even get on the floor to lay rug, and her very snotty comment was, “Well, that’s what YOU say”.
Caused us a few uneasy nights. We ended up just signing a few affidavits, but you know the way the government works. Once they set you in their sights, they can make your life hell. And accuracy and intelligence is not something I expect from them. I wasn’t comfortable for a while.
Ahahahahahahahahahaha HA! You're into dark humor, aren't you?
