I worked there. Don't know about the validity of the debts that was questionable. But I wanted to clarify information a lot of people have wrong here. The fact is they already know your social security number and info. Its on the screen in front of them. They are asking you to verify it for security purposes. The script wasn't good because it doesn't establish trust with employees. But there is no harm in giving your social security number to them. In fact, the information they have is sometimes shoddy so if they find you are the right name but wrong social security number you won't be liable for payment. Although expect another employee to call you again because of the lackluster system of contacts from the 1970s they use.
