Asgard Financial provides a service - it is up to the consumer to "take it-or leave it". You pay a fee to get your paperwork to the proper institutions. Think about this, most services for which we pay can be done by us, ourselves, but for some reason or other, we fail to do them or choose not to do them. For example, I go to a hair salon and get charge by the stylist to do my hair, even though I can do my own hair for free! It is my choice, I am not FORCED to do this! I can give many examples, any rational person could! In other words, the lady could have searched around for other alternatives and could have done it herself-----the point here is, consumers pay for services that they either don't want to do themselves or are to lazy to do(like me styling my own hair). And on the subject of the lady giving out her SSN number (her choice), anything to do with credit involves using your SSN number, in order to GET a loan you have to give them your number, so in order to retrieve the information to correct credit problems, your SSN number is then again used. Once again RATIONAL consumers know this and they also know that it is their choice whether or not they give out their SSN number for this purpose. Just food for thought......
