No. You cant do anything to someones credit unless you have their SSN. Damn good thing thats the case also, if you happen to be named Jane Doe or Bob Smith.

Yup, the local city library dinged my credit report for late library fines ($18) and I had to clear it up to get a new mortgage. The library did not have my SSN.
