We'll give it try, all they can say is no...
Bank Accounts With No SSN FYI. [Names have been redacted] --- On Wed, 10/8/08, Janet Xxxxxxxx wrote: Small but POWERFUL. That just might help us all. I had opened an account many years ago without an SSN, but that was pre-9/11 There's a bank that has asked me repeatedly to open an account there when I cashed the company checks. I'm going to try this method on them. --- On Wed, 10/8/08, Xxxxxx wrote: From: Xxxxxx Subject: No SSN for Bank Accounts Date: Wednesday, October 8, 2008, 9:05 AM To the Moderator, This is just in response to an earlier email whereby folks asked about how I open up bank accounts without an EIN. This is not how we do it but it looks effective. I know the guy who this was sent to. He sent it to me. If it works, I trust that it can and will be effective for those in this group and others you desire to assist. I know it's not OID, but I just wanted to respond to an earlier email as I stated. Have a great day everyone. Please let us know if anyone finds success utilizing this method. Thank you for permitting me to post it. Small Victory Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know about a recent small victory in the no-SSN corner. Recently I tried to open a bank account with my local bank, and when they asked for a SSN, I informed them that I didn't have one. They flatly refused and said that without a SSN that they absolutely could NOT open an account of any kind. Then I proceeded thus to convince them that they were in the wrong: 1) I informed them that I had terminated my SSN legally in accordance with 20 CFR 3 A7 404.1905 and, 2) I informed them that the bank could not be held legally responsible by anyone for failing to obtain a SSN from me pursuant to 31 CFR 103 34(a)(1) and, 3) I informed them that under the Internal Revenue Code Section 6041, that they were not even required to provide any taxpayer identification numbers on the Form 1099 that they file with the IRS at the end of the year, and, 4) I informed them that pursuant to 26 CFR 301.6109-1(c) that they were under no legal obligation to obtain a SSN from me, and, 5) I informed them that 42 USC 408 makes it a FELONY to use threat, duress, or coercion to try to force a person by fear or deceit to provide his SSN in an unlawful manner. After a brief meeting with the banks controller and legal counsel, I received a phone call stating that I would be allowed to open a checking account. Please pass this information along in hopes that it may help someone else who may find themselves in this situation.
