HOW TO OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
I recently 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. I then 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 to31 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.
