Why not ?

I would prefer not . why share your personal info if not necessary

[itsyehuda]

Instead of submitting my ID I had them call me, all they did was ask a few multiple choice questions (nothing personal just like "which of these streets is closest to your house") and I was good to go.

They can only ask those questions when your credit report has enough of that to allow them to authenticate based on that. People with non existent credit histories may have to submit documentation because they don't have enough info to generate those multiple choice questions.

It's not a question of enough history to approve you. It's whether they have enough detail to generate multiple choice questions based on your address history, cars you've owned etc in order to be able to weed out a faker by asking you those questions.

How do they get all that info?

Yes I got this well. I uploaded my documents and 12 hours later my account was working, even though they said it will take much longer.

Got this error on my third acct.... the last q about the street was impossible to answer. Don't want to send them my docs, anyway around? Leave it laying a week or so and try again?
And I want to remove the wallet from one of my accts, anyway to do that?
Phone number to call them?

Huh. I wonder if that's new. When did you initially sign up?

I know two people who signed up, one late Monday night (Tuesday in the AM), and one Tuesday midday (1 PM), who were asked for government photo ID, SS card and proof of address.

The credit bureaus build it up over time.

[menachem_m]

Happened to me and I signed up even before it was on dd/ddf. I think I put in wrong zip.
