I went to apply for a job at Publix (a supermarket) today. The application is electronic, and in-store. When I put in my SSN, it said that my number has already been used. I proceeded to go to customer service to ask what was going on, and they looked my name and SSN up, and apparently, my number has been used to apply at TWO different stores.


First of all, I don't know if they actually hired the person that was using my SSN, and if they did, they're supposed to ask to see picture ID when they hire you, correct? If not, I'm seriously considering taking legal action against the idiot that failed to follow proticol.

Secondly, how could they have applied at two different stores, if it wouldn't let me apply with the number because it was already in the system.


Thirdly, I'm only 19, and don't even really have credit, so how much damage could they have possibly done?

I can't think of who would have done it, the girl at the counter said my information was used in Laurensville, GA and Woodstock, GA. I used to live in Georgia, in fact, my whole life up until last year, but I never lived anywhere near there. I lived in south Georgia, and waaaaay up by Tennessee. I'm thinking they used paper applications at one of the two stores, maybe?


What should I do? Obviously, it's too late at night where I'm at to contact the corporate headquarters. I don't know where to start.
