Copying identification cards at shippers?

If you have all 3 credit reports frozen it won't matter if someone steals your ID or not. A credit freeze is what you should get, not some alternative sounding phrase. Nobody, not even you can open new credit if you have your credit frozen.

It is free to freeze your credit & free to thaw your credit. It takes about 30 seconds to do either one. Life Lock is not the same. A credit freeze is like a deadbolt lock on your door.ife Lock is like not locking your door but renting an Unauthorized People Stay out sign for $15/mo.

 

Have had the same problem. Know too well what it takes to get it fixed. Not fun.

Never hand over any type of Id.
They are welcome to look at it in my hand.
No you don’t get to make a copy of it.

I do not allow any ID, bank card or other potentially important items out of my hand.
If it has to be swiped on something, I am right there and watching. Always look at the device. If it looks sketchy. That’s a NO.

The “It’s company policy” line gets tossed out, my first question is; Can I please have a copy of your company privacy policy. When they say they don’t have one, I follow that with “ my personal policy is not to allow any personal information to be shared with anyone that does not have a privacy policy. This includes making any copies of any personal documents.

The “you won’t get loaded/unloaded” line comes out. I say fine with me, good day. Head back to the truck. Call office, tell them what’s up. You would be surprised at how many times they change their minds.

My company is fully aware of this. Never have a problem.

 

Let's see... This driver is hauling our stuff and we want to have information on who they are, just in case they decide to steal it.
Because, like identity theft, it happens.

2 way street, and a catch-22 either way.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

 

A credit freeze doesn't stop accounts from being added.


It only prevents credit from being looked at. And is a PITA for a temporary UNfreeze. (Equifax)

 

Walmart pharmacy will ask for for ID when I pick up my meds. I've seen them scan the bar code on the back of DL . I give them my CC license, they don't scan it , just look at it and type info in the computer. They don't like this because it takes a few extra seconds to type in info.

 

It's already illegal to use someone else's ID to commit fraud. A credit freeze & a PO BOX will prevent 99% of ID theft but people prefer to pay others for ineffective suscriptions & hope for the best crusading politicians money can rent.

Do you think arguing with a shipping clerk will change corporate policy or just make you number 807 on the list of 53 drivers getting loaded on her shift?
