Can a business/company ruin your credit w/o your social security number?

Suppose I have a dispute with a company, business, or organization. Can they ruin your credit without your social security number if the only thing they have is your name address, etc.?

 

[Techie333]

well, can they?

yes.. they can without your SSN. Search on fatwallet's forums for their "debt collection faq" or "financial myth faq".
