I've had rebate cards blocked because my name "Omar Ali" matched the alias "Ali Omar" of someone who is in detention in the Philippines but still on this list http://www.un.org/sc/committees/1267/AQList.htm
Adding a letter to my last name was enough to not match anymore.

Can a collection agency affect your credit without having your ssn? Credit card providers ask for ssn. So do utility companies. But buying something from a company doesn't involve providing an ssn.

"Our position needs to be reiterated, and needs to be very clear. The fact that the U.S. has administered the death and homicide of over 1 million civilians in Iraq; the fact that the U.S. is supporting the deaths and killing of thousands of Palestinians, does not justify the killing of 1 U.S. civilian in New York City or Washington D.C. And the deaths of 6,000 civilians in New York and Washington D.C. does not justify the death of 1 civilian in Afghanistan." ~ Anwar Al-awlaki; October 2001
