Several weeks ago, I was telling a few of my co-workers that AT&T asked for my physical Social Security card in order to remove my cell phone from our family plan. AT&T claimed they could not acquire enough information about my credit history to remove my phone from the plan Completely fucking bizarre request especially since I was removing, not adding, a name/plan to the account. I came to the conclusion that this is another tactic these dishonest telecom companies use to make it difficult to change and/or terminate a plan. Basically, the premis is that people will react just like I did "whoa, you not only need my SSN, but you actually need to have the card???". That is insane and wrong.
Additionally, as I was telling this story to some of my co-workers, one jackass in our Development group ( and, yes, he is a real jackass ) chimed in and said "man, I'd hate to see your credit history". Well, when I got pre-approved for our new home loan a few days ago, my credit score was 826. It was the second highest credit score our banker had ever seen. So, once again, this guy I'm referring to was speaking out of his ass again like he normally does.
