Yes, I know they do but really no agency can pull your credit history without your SSN.
Its Mandatory to have SSN for any agency to pull credit history.
That's incorrect. It depends very much on the country. In Japan there is no tax number and no such thing as a credit check.
In Canada they only need your home address and your name. I learned this recently when a car rental shop sold my drivers license details and someone used my details to sign up for a couple of smartphones. Immediately went to the credit bureau agencies and guess what: there's the mobile phone company checking up on me with nothing more than my d/l.

thx mate i was also told this thing by my friend n he told me a story tht one of his known took loan in scotland n came back to india then moved to other country without paying back n during his background check there was no problem(is it possible?).............but had sm doubt in mind thx for it.
Your friend should beware that there is a good deal of exchange of information between the authorities and the banks between the US/UK/Canada/etc. That's a story that's quite likely to catch up with him. I have an Irish buddy whose brother nicked a box of chocolates in the early 80's as a teen. That turned up on his record when trying to fly into the US a few years after 9/11; he was denied entry. The system doesn't forget.
