<prompt> Human: Im moving and need to establish a new TWC account for internet. On the online signup form, it asks for SSN, so Im assuming theyll do a credit pull. Does anyone know if its a soft or a hard pull? Google isnt much help; I only see some several year old posts about people complaining about a HP, and I found one reference from a year or two ago about them considering switching to soft pulls, but havent been able to find anything more recent.It seems especially ridiculous to do a HP for an internet-only account. Im providing my own equipment, and if they bill a month ahead, they have effectively zero risk.  <response>: Dont give TWC your SSN. Just because a company asks for your SSN doesnt mean that you have to provide it or they need it.Only give your SSN out when you absolutely need to. Whenever a company asks for it, simply ask if you have to provide it. Most of the time the answer is no.
