Subject: New Social Security Number
To get a new Social Security Number contact the state or federal entity that is using your Social Security Number to try to get money from you and ask them to admit that. Here’s a sample: Dear John Vranna:, You are using my Social Security Number to try to collect money or use my credit for debts I do not owe. If you deny this, then please respond. Otherwise, I will use this letter and your lack of response to apply for a new Social Security Number. Very truly yours, Send a letter to Social Security telling them that the IRS and/or the FTB admits they are using your Social Security Number to collect money you do not owe. A certificate from the Secretary of state will show that there are no state tax liens and proof that there are no Article III courts will establish that Internal means federal territory. Include certified copies of Notice of State Tax Lien and/or Notice of Federal Tax Lien. When applying for a new Social Security Number be sure to do so by using your state citizenship.
