Newbie stealth mistake question
 

Ok I have come to the experts hoping you can help calm my fears....

I made a stealth account with my sister's name but my address. Today I called ebay to ask them to raise my limit of monthly listings. I posed as my sister, giving her name, but when they took me through the public information questions to confirm my identity they were questions that applied to ME not my sister.

I passed the test, but my concern is will this mixing of our information have any negative effects in other areas, like banking, credit scores, social security etc.??

Of course they know it's you, you used your OWN ADDRESS for cryin' out loud! Probably made a hundred other mistakes too.

Why would you use her name? Even if she told you it's okay, it's wrong.

Ten years from now she may want to open an account in her own name, and you're already an inch from getting her banned! What the heck!

Now that I'm done chewing you a new one...

You're probably not at any risk of getting the bank and SSN and credit botched up.

Did you use her bank info and SSN too?
