So, my ss number is not mine alone. There is another person with the same number. The only time it has been a problem, until recently, was when I had bank closing and that only required an extra affidavit. I am obviously not a 60 year old black man. Well, said 60 year old black man now has a felony and it has blocked me purchasing fire arms. Anyone come across this before?

How is that possible? I’m sorry, but if I knew someone else had the same SS#, I would be camped out at whatever office I needed to and would not resume my life until it was straight. That’s huge!
It hasn’t been huge, until now. He doesn’t effect my credit and the only time it ever came up was when I bought my first house. I was told there was nothing I could do about us having the same ss# by ss.

There are just under 1 billion combinations of ss numbers and ss does not reassign numbers if someone dies. About 450+ million have been assigned. I highly doubt ss issued the same number to two different people. I bet him using your number is a better possibility.
You will need to obtain the NTN number from your dealer. It is a specific number that is unique to that transaction (background check).
Good luck! I’ve heard good things from the appeal process, but I did hear recently that they moved a lot of the agents in charge of appeals and put them in doing regular background checks to help with the backlog.

I read a while back there were 5 million ss#'s attached to two or more people. There is apparently a variety of ways it can happen. If I remember correctly, from my last real estate closing 8 years ago, his name is attached to my ss#.
