Credit Report HELP!

[nov30filer]

I just got my SS# and I applied for a credit card. Credit card company called me one day and they said that the SS# I provided is different from the # from the credit bureau and I think it was my TIN because I have a credit card before i have my SS# under my father's account. Do I have to call the credit bureau and tell them that I have a SS# now. What do I do? And do i have to call the credit card company that I have now and tell them that I have a different SS#? Please advice. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you have to do anything. The credit bureau should update your information in due course. My wife also had a credit card with her TIN. When she got SSN and I pulled her credit report, the credit bureau already updated her information. Her credit report was even annotated that she established credit before she got SSN.

You may have to wait couple of weeks and try to obtain your credit report.
