While I agree that these types of companies shouldn't necessarily have your SSN, in a lot of cases, they do a credit check to make sure you're the type to pay your bills. So, if you want their service, you kinda have to give them the SSN so they can do a check. Now, I'm not sure if they also report to the credit bureau(s) as well to let them know you do pay on time.
