Unless you are paying from a verified paypal account or a CC with basic billing details similar to that of the OVH account that you provided verification documents for, the payment will be validated.
I once paid with my wife's PayPal account and ended up providing my wife's driver's license to convince them.
They sound like startssl in regards to verification obsession. I once had my runabove account banned for giving them a 2months expired student id badge.
They require you to send them validation documents of
If you have created a company account they will also require:
-Company registration documents (Linking the user to the company)Huh? Other people are sending them Photo IDs, bank statements and registration documents?
I never sent in anything.
They refused to fulfill when I first ordered, so I after some boring conversation with them through e-mail (in which they asked for a utility bill, which I refused to provide, then a driver's license scan, which I also refused to provide), I gave up for the time being.
Then 3 months later, I decided to get tough and called them on the phone, saying that I had an account but I couldn't order for some reason. Access granted.
too bad they don't work on weekends
Hehe
i do before weekend lol
yeah, I sent them a photo of my drivers license and a scan of a utility bill.
tbh, it seems like a quicker and easier method than what you describe.
i don't fear them having my photo, DL #, or knowing how much I paid for electricity. i cheer it instead
Yes, its just quicker to send the ID / Utility bill to get this one time process over with.
I don't care about OVH having this. But, sending this stuff around in digital formats (especially the driver's license scan) doesn't sit well with me, what if it's stored, they get hacked, and then the "bad guys" have it and can impersonate me easily?
They claim to delete the files within 2 weeks of verification. At least that is what they said when I asked the first time.
Maybe you could censor part of your ID
There's lots of providers that don't need such scans at all.
Why waste time and risk identity theft to save a couple bucks?
