Why would my utilities require age verification? I don't have or want credit cards.

What utility company charges without ID‽

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have never had any of them check. I created an account with details they sent in the post addressed to the homeowner

yeah, they validate the homeowner matches the landlord’s addresses, otherwise they couldn't serve the proper unit/terminal….
that's Identification.

The only validation is someone is paying for the energy at this address. They don't really care beyond that.

Miss a single bill. See how your validation crumbles.

[–] hdnclr@beehaw.org 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That it to their point, yes. Cash is the only 'validation' at work here

Ps - it's better if they don't have your real info so it won't affect your real credit ;)
