It is virtually impossible get a new SSN number. Even if you can prove your identity is stolen and your SSN is being used frequently, you still can't get an SSN. I'm a victim of identity theft, and it really sucks. It completely fucks up your credit, and the credit agencies really don't care about trying to correct it. It took me several years (admittedly a few extra years because I gave up until I bought a house) to get it corrected. And even now, the "identify verification" services that the 3 credit companies offer is fucking me because it contains old data from my identity thief, so I can't get some credit even though my credit is outstanding. So, no, it is not as simple as cancelling your credit cards.
