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
