ID theft problems?

I believe im a victim of identity theft. Ive put fraud alerts and such on my credit..but it isnt stopping. (luckily nothing can be opened on my credit..as i have no credit anyways) I get denial of credit letters daily..and ive been denied NUMEROUS jobs...I recently recieved a copy of my backround check which states ive been convicted of a misdimeanor when i know for sure i havent..BUT i know a woman who used to run around my town posing as me (using my name/DOB/looks identical to me..i have no siblings) is it possible SHE is causing my troubles on my backround? ive reported her before to Police..and they couldnt do anything...

HELP i need a job!

Can i legally change my SS #? will it help? will it stop this crap? im not worried about losing anything..i dont have any credit anyways.

    No, unfortunately you can't change your ss#. (I heard someone complaining how they couldn't change their number after they lost their card). But depending what state you live in, you might be able to freeze your credit report. Don't know if you'd want to do that, but I left a link so you can read about it.

    Also, MSN has an excellent article on what you can do if your identity is stolen. In it, it gives the basic steps of things to do.....

    Too much information for me to type here but it is an excellent step-by-step article. I'll leave a link to it and you can print it out. I've also left another link that could help you.
