   Trying to be the devil's advocate. Say you live in an appartment with 2   
   other friends. A collection agency would want to ensure that they are   
   talking to the person who owes debts to their client (bank etc).   
      
   However, ASKING for the SIN number or other information is wrong. The   
   collection agency should be providing the number and asking if it is the   
   one that belongs to you. Same with date of birth. (the bank would have   
   given that to them).
