I can't tell you how it didn't throw some kind of red flag, but a similar thing happened to me. When I was buying my first home many years ago, the credit check revealed that someone had used my SSN to get a loan on which they defaulted. As in this case, they didn't use my name or address. I never knew about it at all until the credit check. Fortunately, it didn't cause me any problems.

It says he used his real name and someone elses SSN Didn't anyone notice the dudes name and the name on the credit report for the social security number were different?

SO you steal another person PII (SSN number) and then Fraudulently use that piece of information to obtain a loan under false pretenses, and it isnt criminal? Or Impersonation? What was they smoking?
