<prompt> Human: My mom constantly uses my SSN to do stupid things that she thinks are helping me out like check my credit or check me in the equifax hack, but I dont want her looking at my credit report or waiving my arbitration rights for me. She is not opening up accounts or racking up debt. Can I report her to the FTCIRSIC3 for identity theft that has no actual damages? I just want to get a new SSN.This is not a relationships post. That side of the issue is impossible. I need credible reporting threats or preferably, just a new SSN.Edit: Definitely not a minor.Edit 2: Thanks for the advice, especially uJohnnyBWildered and uGaleHarvest. Ill definitely be doing the credit freeze and will figure out what to do on the legal side of things which is complicated by stuff like stupidityculturallanguage barriers, interstate law, etc. At the very least, Ill be asking the police some questions on the non-emergency number to feel it out and find out what resources they have available.I have no idea why so many comments assume that Im just a coward who cant stand up to mommy - the relationship side of the issue is impossible because of the mentioned stupidityculturallanguage barriers and already established no-contact.Assistant: Ummm...have you tried telling her to stop? It is not clear in your post.Human: Yes. But its helpful so she doesnt learn.Assistant: There is a very big issue in america where anything which goes against the wishes of your parents is considered a socially unacceptable thing.This is Illegal. If you did this to her, would she call the police on you?You have no way of knowing that every site she enters your ssn into is trustworthy.Ignoring this issue will create a much bigger one when your identity is ACTUALLY stolen from her misuse of your information.If this was me, and it was anyone, even my spouse who did it, I would immediately file a police report and place a freeze onto my credit reports. Not doing anything is significantly worse than pressing charges. Remember, the mistakes she makes with your information do not affect her, so she has no consequences until you make them. Someone stealing your identity because of her does not affect her.Create consequences. You are the only one in trouble if you do not.Human: There is a very big issue in america where anything which goes against the wishes of your parents is considered a socially unacceptable thing.Yeah, thats definitely a source of a lot of my reticence to go to the police specifically - I imagine that they will look at it as a petulant child being ungrateful for their parents help and tell me that Im blowing things out of proportion. Im not sure that getting your credit report or checking equifax really has an attestation of identity, and even if there is, is that really a law being broken or just an agreement with the company providing info? I guess Ill have to go to legaladvice in the future.Ugh, and she would totally not call the police on me. Because Im her baaabbbyyy.Assistant: Im not sure that getting your credit report or checking equifax really has an attestation of identity, and even if there is, is that really a law being broken or just an agreement with the company providing info? I guess Ill have to go to legaladvice in the future.And yes, what she is doing DIRECTLY violates an actual federal law. 18 U.S.C. 1028. sections 1. and 2. are directly being violated here.Human: Thanks a lot! I appreciate your concrete and researched responses. I think Ill probably go with the credit freeze and report without filing charges gotta figure out the implications of this and if I have a choice if I can get the police to take me seriously.  <response>: You can claim you went to check your free annual credit report, but someone had already checked it this year. You know it wasnt you.Dont mention you know who it was, just that someone else has access to your SSN enough other info to be able to get your credit reports.That should easily be enough to get the freezes at the different places, without throwing your mom under the buss.
