Capital One Credit Card Complaint

Capital One Credit card department,

Transaction issue New Jersey

I was checking out for a $200.00 purchase at Kohl 's Dept Store in -, NJ and planned to use my VISA. The checkout clerk tried to have me apply for a store cc which I declined. Then in the process of using the VISA there were multiple questions on the keypad. Asking me to type in my name, asking questions about my citizenship and finally asking for my SSN. I refused to provide my SSN and they would not process my VISA. The store clerk told me it was the law and that I had to enter my SSN to use my VISA. I know that to be false but he insisted. I suspect the store had some kind of sales promotion for the checkout people and he was trying to capture my information to get the sales promotion rewards. I imagine that people not aware of the law may be duped into providing Kohls their SSN.
