A warning code states, “Social Security Number Not Issued.” Where do the credit bureaus get information on social security numbers and what can we do to confirm this?
The Social Security Administration provides lists of newly issued social security numbers to the credit bureaus every 30 days. Because this is an ongoing process, it is very safe to assume that the message received from the credit bureau is correct. If the consumer still disagrees with the message, it is the responsibility of the consumer to request a letter from the Social Security Administration proving that the number was assigned to him/her.
