Question ID: 730113
I am non American but have a bank account in the US including a Visa Credit Card.
I was told by my bank that since I'm not a US citizen and I don't have
a Social Security Number my CC history is not reported to the American
Credit Bureaus.
Is there a way I CAN get the history reported?
Thanks!

As I understand it, you can still apply for a social security number
even if you're not an american citizen.  I don't think that you even
have to have a job, though I could be wrong about that.  Check out
www.ssa.gov

Thanks pinkfreud for the link.
The fact is I don't really need a SSN but just want to know if there
is a way that I or my bank can report my credit history to the Credit
Bureaus.
:-)
Thanks again anyway!
