Does it matter if my credit is shot and someone got my SS?

I remember losing my SS number last year. Got a new one and all. But I got shot credit. Can anymore damage be done besides my credit? But they also need my drivers license number to do anything right? I am trying to rebuild my credit next year after I pay off some bills, kind of wish these gas prices would go down.

Depends how bad it is. If it's not really bad then yes, more damage can be done. If it is severe then most likely not. I don't believe they need your drivers license to do anything if they have obtained your SS #. I wish you luck on rebuilding your credit and as you do, I wish the gas prices would go down as well but, doesn't look like they will.

Man this really sucks I just hope its under the seat of my car or something but I have checked the house 100s of times. Man this is scary that something like our SS number that can get easily in anyones hands. I seen on the news the other day immigrants using US citizens SS for themselfs and its okay by law, that is ****ed up.
