It’s a Rule by Larry John
I have always been the type of person that questions the reasoning behind the rules. I like to know WHY I have to do something. For example the other day I was getting a home loan. The underwriter said that I had to give them a copy of my social security card. I don’t have a social security card. I got it when I was 5 years old, and it is in some box somewhere under some other box somewhere. So I faxed them a copy of my Passport. They said that wouldn’t do. It was a “rule” that they had to have a copy of my social security card. So I went down to the social security office to get a duplicate copy of my social security card. And guess what I had to use as proof of my identity? Yep…they wanted to see my passport. Why? … Because it was one of their rules! So the very thing I used to prove my identity to get a social security card was the very thing that wasn’t good enough to prove my identity to the mortgage company. And all because of the rules. Think about it.
