2. probably because that is how creditors identify you
and they want to make sure you are truly the person you are representing yourself as.

Just think of all the crap that goes into your shredder each week -

No forest cut down to print it
No extra fuel for the mail carriers vehicle due to the weight
No extra paper in the trash

3. well, thank you for posting this. there is another link where you can
print the page and mail in $1 which is what i'm going to do, and they don't ask for the ss number.

several months ago i found a website called green dimes that has you subscribe for ? a fee (i forget how much) but i haven't signed up yet--so...we're signing up with the link you gave me! i've already printed out our form with tracking numbers.

so thanks again!
