It's a wonder more SS numbers are not stolen/abused than there are,
Last year, I needed to turn on power in an apartment in Sheffield. Although I already had two accounts with them, they ask to see my SS card. (I haven't carried it in years and years- I know my number), and told them flat out NO. On the back of my SS card it states in very plain English - NOT TO BE USED FOR IDENTIFICATION- .
They told me no one ever objected before, and that I could show a birth certificate instead, which I did.Why in all that is sacred, did Sheffield Utilities need my SS number ? They didn't , just more hassel.
I don't know about Ok Drivers license, but as soon as Al stopped requireing it on ours, I ask for mine to be taken off.
