I would like to know what are my rights as a parent of a minor who had his social security number used for banking fraud. The bank won't reveal who the person is committing this fraud. I reported this to the police, social security department and will send letters to all three agencies tomorrow. What are my rights?
As a parent, you should be able to exercise some of the rights of your minor child on his/her behalf. Review an earlier question on this topic in our Identity Theft section.
As you'll see there, your child has some important rights to protection from identity theft. Notify each of the three major credit bureaus of the misuse of your child's Social Security number, and take action to block further access to any credit files that may exist in his/her name.
