What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I am trying to reestablish phone service with ATT.
Part of this process is that they require a credit check. So I asked the phone representative if they were a foreign country or in the US. She said that they were not in the US.
Is there any protection for consumers on this? IN California?
This is a utility, and they are governed by US requirements which should not force US citizens from sharing their SS# to a foreign country.
International Law would take over jurisdiction in case any identity theft occurs and we know that provides -0- help compared to local state consumer protection laws.
