I have been a victim of identity theft & need a new social security number. How can I solicit one?

My phone plan was tampered with, my mail was forwarded to a residence that is not mine, and I’m afraid it will get worse from here. I told the police what happened and I told Victims Services also. But no one will give me leads as to how to proceed with changing my social security number. Does anyone out there have any advice for me?

Someone stole a newly delivered credit card from my mailbox and luckily I was able to block it. Today, I received mail informing me that a new Bank of America account had been opened with my SSN. I closed it. Now that someone out there does have my SSN what steps can I take. I already signed up for Credit Protection Services. Any help would be appreciated since I am not from this country.
