I know. 
That's why I chose to have my dl # generated. I'm so worried about my ssn I don't even carry the card in my wallet. But most people I've seen use their ssn, I guess because they can remember it. :/

That's not paranoid, it's smart. You are *not* supposed to carry your SS card in your wallet or have your SSN on your person at all. If you do and your wallet gets stolen, your identity goes with it.

Lyyssa, you made right choice for yourself. Very good!!
You should be proud of yourself!! 
The SS Office tells us to not carry the SS Card in our wallet nor in our purse, they tells us to leave it in our home where is safe. You need to take your SS card with you when you have asked (by employer, and etc for official), and you need to put SS card back where you normally keep it in your home as soon as you come home.
The other thing .... shred all of your papers with your names and addresses on it before you through it away, includes junk mails.

Update: Went into Circuit City, they used my passport instead, approved instantly for $3k Visa.
Equifax is treating me well. I really did this mainly as a test, as I am planning on applying for Target Visa and Amazon Chase both of which seem to pull Efx as well. I want to wait until the Cap1 CO is off (I DV'd, let's see) and the Amex AU is on which should bump me up 50 points or so and give add 28 years to my credit-length.
Good news if with current set-up (650, old Cap1 CO, Paid Collection, credit-length 10 years) I can get $3k.
Alright! Way to Go nyc!!
So you applied in person, instead over the phone. Good for you. Good decision!
