Stop Credit Card Offers
Due to the changes in the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, you
can now be removed from credit card mailing lists by making a toll-free
call. This call can remove your name from three major credit bureaus'
mailing lists for two years.
When you call, you will need to confirm your identity, a recording will ask
for personal information, including your Social Security Number (which they
already have).
You can also request a form that will wipe your name PERMANENTLY from their
mailing lists if you want.
The National Waste Prevention Coalition states that stopping these mailings
can really make a difference. If 500,000 people took advantage of the law,
more than 12 million fewer pieces of mail would be sent in one year alone.
Save a forest; call any one of the following numbers to be removed:
- Experian (formerly TRW) 800-353-0809
- Trans Union 888-5OPT OUT 888-567-8688
