Thank you for asking for our comments on this privacy issue. I am sick and tired of all these companies and business asking for a SS# or for information about yourself for a quote and then they sell that information to a listing company. According to most of these companies, I cannot get them to give me a price without giving them all the information about my life. And then they will go out and sell it for more money. Like B of A, I gave them my personal information because they said it was necessary if I wanted a quote to get that loan or CC, Not for them to sell. The same for insurance companies. Also, a lot of company and employers are using the SS of the associate as an ID number, that too is ridiculous. Please stop this type of wholesale violation of a persons privacy.

Thanking you for your efforts,

Joseph
