A CPN is a nine-digit number that looks just like a Social Security Number: XXX-XX-XXXX. Unlike a real SSN, though, CPNs are not issued or recognized by the government, and they are illegal to use on credit applications.
CPNs are also sometimes called credit protection numbers or credit profile numbers. They are typically sold to consumers as a method of credit repair. CPNs can appear to “work” because applying for credit with a CPN can obscure a consumer’s true identity and the credit history that is associated with their real SSN. But make no mistake: using a CPN to apply for credit is fraud.
In actuality, when a consumer buys a CPN they are actually buying either a completely made-up nine-digit number or a stolen SSN.
