Yes. But that may be a lot easier than it sounds.

I recall when I told my credit union that they had to remove the SSN from that account they told me that they could not do that. I told them that they had to and they shut down my account instead; forgiving me a $4K Letter of Credit that was fully drawn! A couple months later they called my Dad and asked if he would give them my SSN? He did not even know but knew better than to give it if he did.
