I took out a loan of {$3100.00} from Loan Me. Everything was fully explained to me and the loan was funded on XXXX XXXX. I later that day called Loan Me customer service. I just wanted to receive my account number. I was told that they wanted to give me a welcome call for being a new customer. I informed the customer service person I was in a hurry and just wanted my new Loan Me account number so I could electronically submit my own loan payments. I was told they needed to re verify all of my personal information first to validate it was indeed me calling. I was good with all questions asked until they asked me to say out loud my whole social security number. My other financial institutions never ask over the phone my entire social security number but instead ask for the last XXXX digits. I believe this practice of asking some one to repeat their entire social security number over the phone is in violation of my rights as a consumer and can lead to identy theft. I provided my entire number online with their application which I have no problem with. They could easily verify my identity using the last XXXX digits of my social security number or another validating security question. The person I spoke with after I was validated as the borrower proceeded to tell me they would not give me my account number until I listened to their welcome call monologue. I reapedately asked just for my account number to no avail. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was placed on hold and then disconnected. I called back to receive the same validating questions and again was asked to say my entire phone number. This time the person did provide my account number when I asked but also proceeded to insist I listen to their new customer welcome call. I reluctely listen to what was Loan me ' s welcome call for me being a new member. This welcome call is nothing to do with verifying the borrower but has everything to do with loan me ' s attempt to get my permission to be contacted at work. Please have them stop the practice of having to repeat my entire social security number over the phone. Thank you. 
Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, CA XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX of SS # XXXXMore than enough validation provided.
