isn't it illegal to make SIN mandatory for applying for credit?

Default check out this link. (ps: what are u getting?)

since they are a credit organization, they are not legally allowed to make it mandatory. moreover, if they do, you can file a complaint with the privacy office.<ul><li><a href="http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/en/sin/protect/provide.shtml">http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/en/sin/protect/provide.shtml</a></li></ul>

Default 2006 Jetta 2.5, nothing fancy...

18 mos remaining at 378/mos. Don't know if we are going to need two cars down the road (wife on mat leave and we need a second now as she's stranded at home). So if we like it, we'll keep it, if we find we don't need it, we'll just give it back. No down payments, and they are covering the lease transfer fee.

Certainly not advisable.

You don't have to, it makes things easier though.
